Day 2

Today’s readings illustrate the consequences of sin and
God’s desire to redeem. In Genesis 4, Cain’s jealousy and
anger lead to Abel’s murder, and by Genesis 6, humanity’s
wickedness grieves God. Yet, we see God’s mercy at work,
even in a fallen world, as Noah finds favor with Him.

In Matthew 2, Jesus’ birth marks the arrival of God’s ultimate
answer to sin—a Savior sent to redeem and restore. Through
Jesus, we are invited into forgiveness and reconciliation,
breaking the destructive cycle of sin. The Holy Spirit reveals
areas in our hearts needing repentance and empowers us to
live in the freedom Jesus offers.

Today, ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart for anything that
may lead to anger or bitterness. Invite Him to bring healing
and redemption where sin has brought brokenness. Trust that,
like Noah, you can find favor with God, experiencing His grace
and mercy daily.
