Welcome to GraceVine's Daily Bible, your quiet space to listen to God's Word. Today, we’re exploring the different voices that call for our attention. We'll hear God's heart for compassion in His laws, contrast it with the deceptive voice of temptation, and ask ourselves a key question: Are we afraid God wants to take something from us, like Herod, or do we trust that He wants to give us life? Let's listen together.
What You’ll Hear
Exodus 21:22-23:13:Â God's laws move beyond simple "eye for an eye," revealing a deep concern for fairness, restitution, and revolutionary compassion for the poor, the stranger, and even the enemy.
Matthew 2:13-3:6:Â We follow Joseph's quiet obedience as the family flees to Egypt, contrasting Herod's paranoid fear. We then jump forward to the powerful, preparatory voice of John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness.
Psalm 29:1-11:Â A powerful anthem describing the majestic, thundering, and powerful voice of the LORD as it shakes the wilderness, breaks the cedars, and ultimately gives strength to His people.
Proverbs 7:6-23:Â A vivid and tragic warning about an aimless young man who, lacking purpose, is lured by the smooth talk of temptation and walks like an ox into a trap that will cost him his life.
