Most Christians know they won’t have seven years of misfortune breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder, or petting a black cat. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t superstitious. For without love, our faith can become superstition.

Sometimes we must put on the full armor of God and fight the good fight of faith. But we must never forget that at other times, we must leave the battlefield and return to the fortress.

We are truly privileged to be children of God. When we make Him our source, we can live in His rest and offer that rest to those around us.

These are some of Jesus’ last words. Single people can sometimes feel that God has forgotten us. Yet, despite His questioning, Jesus’ attachment to His Father did not change. A beautiful lesson for us today.

Why pray every day? Because we need to remind ourselves of our position in Christ every day.
