Where do you seek refuge?

Make a little room for the Word today.

01 / Read

Proverbs 18:10

“The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
Read the full passage: Proverbs 18:10–12

02 / Reflect

Pause with the passage.

These proverbs contrast confidence in God with the security people imagine wealth can provide. They invite humility about what we depend on. Let God's character, rather than status or possessions, ground your trust.

What do you turn to first when you feel insecure?

03 / Respond

One small step today.

Before reaching for a distraction, pause and pray about the need underneath it.

04 / Pray

Bring it to God.

Lord, be my refuge. Help me hold Your gifts gratefully without making them my foundation. Amen.

Carry it into your day

Keep listening.

Do not love the world!

What has your heart: the things of this world or the will of God? In this episode of The Daily Bread Podcast, we explore John’s warning about worldly desires, the pull of what we see, and pride in what we have. It’s an invitation to examine what shapes our choices and turn our hearts toward what lasts. The world and its desires are passing away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
