Home Altar for August 2, 2026

Published July 30, 2026

Reflect: God's people have always been such by His Word alone. Isaac, Jacob, and you belong to Him by Promise.

Share: The truest thing about you is not what you've done or where you came from, but that God claims you in Christ.

Practice: This week, look at the person in front of you and remember: they are eternal and called by God.

Pray: God, You created, redeemed, and promised me. When I doubt, anchor me in who You say I am. Amen.
