When the world demands justice, does God offer a different way back? In this devotional on Psalm 51, we step into the wreckage of King David’s greatest failure—the affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. We move beyond a simple apology to uncover the specific Hebrew anatomy of David's confession: Pesha (rebellion), Avon (twistedness), and Hata'ah (missing the mark). We explore the shocking reality that under Mosaic Law, David should have faced the death penalty, yet he boldly asks God to "create a way" where the law offered none.

In Genesis 40, Joseph finds himself forgotten in a prison cell — but not forgotten by God. When Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker have troubling dreams, Joseph interprets them with remarkable accuracy, giving all glory to God.

Catherine O’Hara revealed the role she hopes she's best remembered for, and it’s heartwarming. The legendary actress unexpectedly passed away at the age of 71. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to hear Catherine mention the role that obviously meant the most to her, and make sure you have the box of tissues nearby.

Death is something that we will all experience at some time. No one will be able to avoid it, regardless of fame, fortune or any other characteristic or distinguishing factor. To make matters even worse, no one knows how much time they have left on Earth. It could be 40, 50 years or 40, 50 minutes. We have no way of knowing.

That’s why it’s essential to make the time that we have been given count. Sure, we all have goals, and we want to accomplish things in life, but at the end of our lives, will that even matter? How many people do you know at the end of their lives, on their deathbeds, wish they had spent more time at work? Everyone will wish they had spent more time with their family and friends.

In a clip posted on social media, someone caught up with Catherine at the airport. The man behind the camera asked the “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” star what role she hoped she would be most remembered for, and her sweet, heartwarming answer will likely bring a tear to your eye.

“When all is said and done, which one role would you most like to be remembered for?” the gentleman asks her.

“Mother of my children,” the late actress responded.

At the end of the day, isn’t that what matters most? Family is everything, and we are all only given so much time with family members, so we must make the most of it.

James 4:14 “When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”

In Genesis 39, Joseph’s faithfulness and integrity are tested in the fires of injustice. Betrayed by his brothers and enslaved in Egypt, Joseph continues to trust God and serve faithfully—even when falsely accused and thrown into prison. Yet through it all, “the Lord was with him.”

In Genesis 38, the story of Judah and Tamar reveals the depth of human failure—and the even greater depth of God’s grace. Judah’s choices lead to moral failure and shame, but God steps into the mess to bring redemption. Out of this broken story comes the lineage of the Messiah Himself.

Doubting God will provide? Here are encouraging scriptures.

In Genesis 37:1–38, Joseph receives a life-changing dream that reveals God’s plan for his future. But instead of an immediate path to fulfillment, Joseph faces betrayal, slavery, and separation from his family. Yet through every hardship, God’s sovereign hand is at work, shaping Joseph’s character and preparing him to save many lives.
