God has not run out of mercy — not for you, not today.

Thursday, March 5 — Matthew 24.

Today’s reading drops us into Jesus’ Olivet Discourse—one of His two full “bookend” sermons in Matthew. If the Sermon on the Mount teaches us how to live faithfully under the King, Matthew 24 teaches us how to live faithfully until the King returns.

This episode isn’t about feeding end-times curiosity—it’s Jesus shepherding His people through turbulent days. You’ll hear a clear warning: the first danger isn’t war… it’s deception. Don’t be tricked. Don’t be alarmed. Don’t let your love grow cold. And don’t anchor your faith in what you can see—monuments can fall, but His presence remains.

We land where Jesus lands: read the signs, but live ready. Nobody knows the day or hour, so the call isn’t to build a timeline—it’s to build a life of faithfulness.

Because prophecy isn’t for fear… it’s for purity.
