Our goal in this series is to bring you carefully considered and biblically meaningful devotionals to help you develop a daily habit of bible reading and prayer - in under 5 minutes a day!  

That may sound like a challenging goal.  When is the last time you heard a preacher talk less than 5 minutes?  Well, I'm happy to report that today's devotional clocks in at four minutes and 24 seconds!   So far, so good!  :-)

Our reading today is 1 Peter 1:1-2.  In the New Testament covenant of grace, when we are born again through a living faith in Jesus Christ, Peter says that we are sealed into a special agreement with God by the sacrifice (I.e. ‘the blood’) that Jesus freely gave for us when he allowed Himself to be unfairly murdered upon the cross of Calvary so that we would not have to die for our sins.  

I'm so glad you've started this 20 day journey.  May God bless you richly as you draw near to Him daily!

Your friend in Christ, bro Mark
