When you gave your life to Jesus, everything changed—you came under new management. In Romans 8:14–27, Paul explains that we’re now led by the Spirit, called into maturity, and given both privileges and responsibilities as God's children. Growth won’t be easy—creation groans, we groan, and even the Spirit groans with us. But in every struggle, God is working something greater. We're reminded that we’re not stuck in the old way of living—we’ve been adopted, empowered, and set on a new path.

The Christian life is like learning to walk—it’s a process of growing in grace. In Romans 8:1–13, Paul reminds us that we are no longer condemned and no longer controlled by sin. Through Jesus, we’ve been set free, and now we’re called to live like it—step by step, in the Spirit. May God help you to recognize the difference between the old life and the new, and encourage you to walk with confidence, knowing He is shaping you with every step.

In Exodus 28, God shifts focus to the priests—those He called and set apart to serve Him and care for His people. Their role went far beyond rituals; they offered prayers, taught God’s Word, and carried His blessing into everyday life. That same purpose continues today through pastors and disciple-makers who walk with others in trial and growth. God doesn’t leave us to figure things out alone—He gives us helping hands to lead us back to grace, truth, and hope.
