Daily Devotion #84 - Grace Over Works in a Broken World

As David flees for his life in 1 Samuel 21–22, fear and evil collide, culminating in the tragic قتل of the priests—a sobering reminder of how destructive sin can be. Yet even in the aftermath, David responds with humility and responsibility. Psalm 52 contrasts the downfall of the wicked with the steady trust of those who rely on God’s mercy, while 1 Chronicles 5 highlights the pattern of victory through faith and defeat through unfaithfulness. In Acts 15, the early church settles a critical question, affirming that salvation comes by grace alone—not by works. This episode calls us to trust God in difficult moments, remain faithful, and rest fully in the grace of Jesus Christ.
