Psalm 9:13–20, Matthew 12:1–21, Genesis 31:1–55
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, God is both just and merciful.

Day 14: Just Relax and Let God Be God
Psalm 9:7–12, Matthew 11:16–30, Genesis 29:1–30:43
If God is sovereign and ultimately in control, does that mean that you are absolved of responsibility for your actions? Does it mean that you do not have ‘free will’? The Bible teaches both – the ultimate sovereignty of God at the same time as human responsibility and free will.

Day 13: Divine Acceleration
Psalm 9:1–6, Matthew 10:32–11:15, Genesis 27:1–28:22
There are times in our own personal lives, church life and ministry when it feels like we are stuck and unable to move at any pace. At other times, openings begin to appear and it is ‘time to accelerate’. God is the God of acceleration. He is able to speed things up at a much faster rate than is humanly possible.

Day 12: No Fear
Proverbs 1:20–33, Matthew 10:1–31, Genesis 25:1–26:35
The expression ‘*do not be afraid*’ is one of the most frequent commands in the Bible. Four of the occurrences are in our passages for today.

Day 11: 'Lord... Give Me Success Today'
Psalm 8:1–9, Matthew 9:14–38, Genesis 24:1–67
Success is a blessing from the Lord. Success is a good thing. However, the ministry of Jesus and the message of the Bible *redefine success*.
