2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 137
by Walt Martin on May 17th, 2026
His life is given for ours. His body broken. His blood poured out. His death becoming the source of life. That is why the Lord’s Table matters. Bread and cup are not magic, but they're not empty symbols either. They are signs that point us toward real participation in the life of Christ, received by faith and sustained by the Spirit. That same truth shapes the life of every disciple. Following Jesus is not just agreeing with what He says. It is learning to abide in Him, trust Him, and let His life reshape ours.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 135
by Walt Martin on May 15th, 2026
Most of us spend our lives focusing on what we lack: not enough strength, enough certainty, enough resources, enough influence, enough faith, enough time.

Sometimes we struggle because we are still measuring life according to the old time zone while Jesus is already speaking the language of resurrection. That does not make suffering easy. It does not erase grief, fear, exhaustion, or disappointment. But it does reframe them.  Read More

Anyone can believe after the miracle arrives. But, the official walked home believing before he saw anything at all. That is faith. And maybe that’s the invitation for us today: Don't just chase signs… trust the Savior to let the signs lead us to the treasure. To let the flesh lead us to the Word. To hear, and believe.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 131
by Walt Martin on May 11th, 2026
When grace gets too personal, we often retreat into abstraction. We hide behind theological arguments, church traditions, denominational preferences, moral comparisons, or religious performance. Anything to avoid letting Jesus touch the actual wounds, sins, fears, and longings underneath. But Jesus refuses to stay at the surface. Not to shame her — but to free her.  Read More
