Welcome to GraceVine's Daily Bible, your space for daily scripture and reflection. Today’s readings ask us a profound question: Who are we really living for? As we explore Jesus's warning against performing our faith for a public audience, we'll also discover the deep, freeing joy of authentic confession and the surprising ways God anoints our everyday skills for His glory. Let's find our true treasure together.
Exodus: God establishes a single "atonement money" for both rich and poor, a powerful picture that His grace doesn't discriminate. He then fills artisans like Bezalel with His Spirit, validating our practical skills as holy, Spirit-filled work.
Matthew: Jesus delivers a powerful teaching on our motives, urging us to give, pray, and fast in secret for our Father—our "Audience of One." He then draws a hard line, forcing a choice: "You cannot serve both God and Money."
Psalms: David contrasts the deep, physical agony of keeping sin silent with the profound blessing and freedom of being fully and truly forgiven. He reminds us that God longs to guide us with His "loving eye," not force us like a stubborn mule.
Proverbs: Wisdom personified describes her presence at the very foundation of the world, rejoicing in God's creation and delighting in humanity long before we were even here.
