2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 113
by Walt Martin on April 23rd, 2026
Zacchaeus doesn’t just feel something. He does something. It manifests as generosity and restitution. But maybe more importantly, what we see is evidence of transformation. His relationship with money—his identity—his priorities—reordered. Not to earn salvation. But because salvation has already come near. Grace initiates. We respond. Jesus seeks. We receive. Our lives change. This is the rhythm of salvation: Prevenient grace drawing us… Saving grace meeting us… Sanctifying grace reshaping us.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 112
by Walt Martin on April 22nd, 2026
This passage holds two realities together: Darkness is coming. And healing is already happening. Suffering ahead, but restoration breaking in. At first, it doesn’t make sense. Even the disciples can’t put it together. But Jesus makes it clear: This is the plan. What the prophets spoke is being fulfilled. Grace meets us before we understand. It invites us to trust, even when we don’t see clearly. We don’t need full comprehension. We need faith in a faithful God. And that faith becomes the doorway to healing, transformation, and new life.  Read More

Unmistakable. But here’s the twist: Life will look… normal. People eating. Working. Living. Until suddenly—it isn’t.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 109
by Walt Martin on April 19th, 2026
Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness feels... well, impossible. Not once. Not twice. Repeatedly. And not from a place of superiority. When you forgive, you don’t stand over someone. You step toward them. You become a servant, not a judge. That’s hard. Which is why the disciples respond: “Increase our faith.” They knew, as we know, we can't do it on our own.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 108
by Walt Martin on April 18th, 2026
Grace is always offered. But it must be received. God does not force transformation but God invites it. Over time, we can become the kind of people who either respond… or resist. Holiness is not just avoiding sin—It’s cultivating a heart that is soft to God’s voice.  Read More
