Today's Scripture

A man can spend years building a name that feels strong enough to hold him—career, competence, reputation, even religious discipline—then discover how fragile it is when work changes, failure comes, or someone sees behind the polished surface. Paul offers something sturdier than a better self-image. In Galatians 2:20, he describes a life joined to Christ so deeply that the old courtroom of proving and comparing loses its authority. The man still wakes up to real responsibilities, but he no longer has to manufacture his worth. Christ’s love becomes the center from which he works, leads, repents, and endures.
