Day 470 – Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23:34, NIV Jesus said these words when He was crucified on the cross. He humbly asked forgiveness for those people who caused Him pain. He acknowledged that those people do not know what they are doing. This kind of heart is really amazing. How can you possibly ask God to forgive those who brutally hurt you? But Jesus did it anyway. His heart is just full of compassion and love despite the suffering that He experienced. This is a great reminder for us to do good to those who hurt us. This may not be…

God’s got your back
The stronger the enemy attacks you, the greater the value will be. The enemy mostly attacks what is important to you. He strikes your relationships. He surrounds you with temptations and options, slowly destroying your treasure. Yes, you have the drive and the choice to make in your life, but that doesn’t excuse you from what the enemy wants from you. He will shower you with things that are very convincing yet very soul-destructive choices. He will convince you that you are only doing what’s best or maybe try to make you feel better from guilt by convincing you that it is what other people are doing. He could also…

Day 469 – Luke 23:23-24
But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. So Pilate decided to grant their demand. Luke 23:23-24, niV When Jesus was in front of the crowd, Pilate asked their opinion about what they wanted to do with Jesus. He chose to listen to the people rather than do what was right. Pilate was so consumed with the desire to please others rather than follow his conscience. Sometimes, we are also like Pilate. When we are challenged to fight for our faith, we tend to listen to the voices of the crowd, thinking that what they want is the right thing to do. But…
