Today's Readings

The book of Amos ends with restoration. The same prophet who said prepare to meet your God says on that day I will raise up the fallen hut. The severity was never the final word. The final word is the plowman overtaking the reaper, the mountains dripping, the ruined cities rebuilt.
Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. The psalm's vision of the restored land is not a land where only one value wins - it is the land where the opposing virtues are reconciled. Not kindness at the expense of truth or justice at the expense of peace, but both together, meeting, kissing, springing from the earth.
New wine into fresh wineskins. In your twenties the wineskins question is immediate: the new thing God is doing in this season requires the structures to hold it. Not the rejection of all old structures, but the honest assessment of whether the current containers are adequate.
The Challenge
New wine needs fresh wineskins. What is God pouring into your life in this season that is straining against the old containers? Name it. What new wineskin do you need to make room for what is being given?
One Prayer
Lord, give me the new wineskins for what you are pouring in this season. And raise the fallen hut. Precious Blood of Jesus, I trust in you. Amen.
Meet You Where You Are
You’re not too young to be a disciple. This is daily formation that’s direct, honest, and built for your season of life.
Five Minutes
Every morning: readings, a reflection, a challenge, and a prayer. Short enough to read before class or work.
You’re Not Alone
A community of young adults figuring out faith and adulthood at the same time.
