Old Testament is like a stained glass window. It is beautiful on its own, well made and intricately designed but its true beauty is not shown until the light hits it. Jesus is that light. Challenge yourself to read more of the Bible, especially the Old Testament with Jesus in mind.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

While watching the last season of “Better Call Saul” this week, one of the final scenes involved a flashback between the main character and his brother. Throughout the series, we watch the main character, Jimmy McGill, slowly turn into the villain of Saul Goodman that many loved to watch in “Breaking Bad.” Chuck tells him in the flashback, “If you don’t like where you’re headed, it’s never too late to go and change your path.” 

We have to remember this. No matter how far gone you think you might be down the wrong path, there is always a chance to correct your course. Lean on those relationships that are good for you. Let those that have gone down that wrong path and course corrected guide you. You can always return. 

MOLESKIN:

Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.
