    Symbols of Faith Without Surrender of Faith | Judges 18:11-20
    2025/12/24
    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. And Merry Christmas to you all. Our text today is Judges 18:11-20. So 600 men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol, and went up and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. On this account that place is called Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim. And they passed on from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah. Then the five men who had gone to scout out the country of Laish said to their brothers, "Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved image, and a metal image? Now therefore consider what you will do." And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the home of Micah, and asked him about his welfare. Now the 600 men of the Danites, armed with their weapons of war, stood by the entrance of the gate. And the five men who had gone to scout out the land went up and entered and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the 600 men armed with weapons of war. And when these went into Micah's house and took the carved image, the ephod, the household gods, and the metal image, the priest said to them, "What are you doing?" And they said to him, "Keep quiet; put your hand on your mouth and come with us and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and clan in Israel?" And the priest's heart was glad. He took the ephod and the household gods and the carved image and went along with the people. — Judges 18:11-20 The Danites raid Micah's house—not for gold, not for land, but for religion. They take his idols, his ephod, and even his priest. They want everything that looks spiritual—but none of what demands surrender. This is the heart of false faith. It wants the blessing of belief without the burden of obedience. They want a god they can move, not one who moves them. They want a priest who blesses, not one who confronts. They want the look of religion without the Lord of righteousness. It's the same impulse alive today. We still crave the symbols of faith without submitting to it. We want a baby christened—but not a child discipled. We want a church wedding—but not a marriage that honors God. We want a pastor to conduct our funeral—but not a life spent following Christ. We want faith that makes us feel covered—but never changed. This is why false religion is so attractive: it offers comfort without conviction, community without accountability, and symbols without sanctification. It gives you everything except transformation. The Danites carried off the priest and the idols, thinking they'd secured God's favor. But they weren't following God—they were franchising a fake religion. Don't turn faith in God into a performance of externals. Don't settle for "religious moments" in place of regular obedience. God doesn't want your religious props and symbols; he wants all of you. He is here not to tag along but to transform you. ASK THIS: Where have you settled for symbols instead of surrender?Do you display faith publicly but resist obedience privately?What modern "idols" have you borrowed to make faith feel easier?How can you move from religious performance to real pursuit of God this week? DO THIS: Ask God to expose any area where you've kept religion but lost relationship.Read 2 Timothy 3:5: "Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power."Replace outward habits with inward devotion—prayer, confession, and obedience.Live today as if God's presence, not your performance, is what defines your faith. PRAY THIS: Lord, save me from the trap of empty religion. I don't want symbols of faith; I want surrender. Strip away anything that looks spiritual but keeps me from true obedience to You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Christ Be Magnified."

  • Don't Confuse Opportunity With Obedience | Judges 18:7-10

    Don't Confuse Opportunity With Obedience | Judges 18:7-10
    2025/12/23

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day.

    Our shout-out today goes to Scott Kacos and family. Thank you so much for partnering with us on Project23. We cannot do this without you. This is for you today.

    Our text today is Judges 18:7-10.

    Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting, lacking nothing that is in the earth and possessing wealth, and how they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. And when they came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, "What do you report?" They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you do nothing? Do not be slow to go, to enter in and possess the land. As soon as you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people. The land is spacious, for God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth."— Judges 18:7-10

    The Danite scouts find Laish—a city that looks perfect. Peaceful. Prosperous. Secure. Everything their own land was not. And they instantly assume, "God has given it into our hands."

    But notice—there's no record of prayer, no word from the Lord, and no evidence of obedience in the moments leading up to this. They mistake opportunity for confirmation. They see abundance and assume it's God's blessing. But it's fake faith—faith built on feelings, not on truth.

    This is how counterfeit obedience works. It looks spiritual, it sounds hopeful, but it's driven by convenience and comfort, not conviction. Remember, the Danites didn't want to fight the Amorites for the land God gave them in Joshua 19. They wanted the easy win, and this was it. Easy victories frequently lead to empty lives.

    We do the same when we chase the "Laish" in front of us:

    The job that pays more but pulls us from church.
    The relationship that feels good but bends God's truth.|
    The comfort that whispers, "This has to be right, it's working."

    But not everything that looks right is righteous. Sometimes what looks like God's favor is just avoidance in disguise.

    When our faith loses its fight, it starts settling for false flags. And the Danites here traded commands for the convenient conquest—and then called it compliance. Real faith does not do this. It never chases comfort; it counts on God even when the command is challenging.

    ASK THIS:

    1. Where have you confused convenience with God's calling?
    2. What's your "Laish"—the easy path that tempts you to compromise?
    3. Have you been mistaking peace for permission?
    4. How can you return to the ground God actually called you to claim?

    DO THIS:

    • Identify one area where comfort has replaced conviction.
    • Choose faithfulness over feelings this week—even if it costs you ease.

    PRAY THIS:

    Lord, forgive me for chasing comfort and calling it faith. Teach me to obey You when the way is hard and to trust You when the road isn't easy. Give me real faith—not imitation peace. Amen.

    "Trust In God."

  • When You Ask God to Bless What You Already Decided | Judges 18:2-6

    When You Ask God to Bless What You Already Decided | Judges 18:2-6
    2025/12/22

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day.

    Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video.

    Our text today is Judges 18:2-6.

    So the people of Dan sent five able men from the whole number of their tribe, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to explore it. And they said to them, "Go and explore the land." And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there. When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. And they turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What is your business here?" And he said to them, "This is how Micah dealt with me: he has hired me, and I have become his priest." And they said to him, "Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether the journey on which we are setting out will succeed." And the priest said to them, "Go in peace. The journey on which you go is under the eye of the Lord." — Judges 18:2-6

    The Danite scouts stop by Micah's house, meet his Levite-for-hire, and ask three questions that sound curious but expose their compromise:

    1. "Who brought you here?"
    2. "What are you doing in this place?"
    3. "Why are you here?"

    Not one of those questions mentions God. They're interested in Micah, not in God. It's a spiritual conversation with no Spirit in it.

    If this Levite had been faithful, he would have responded very differently:

    1. You would go where God sends, not where you choose.
    2. You wouldn't stay in a house filled with idols.
    3. You would claim the land God already gave you, not shop for easy pickings.

    But instead, the Levite answers, "Micah has done these things for me."
    Not "God brought me." Not "I serve the Lord." Just "Micah." His allegiance—and his paycheck—come from the same source.

    The Danites and the Levite both prove the same point: they're using spiritual language to hide spiritual rebellion. The Levite blesses their mission; they leave feeling "confirmed." But it's all self-validation dressed up in spiritual garb.

    We do the same when we call it "discernment," but it's really rationalization. When we pray, not to surrender, but to get reassurance. When we say, "God's got this," but never ask if God is sending us.

    Faith without conviction always drifts toward convenience. And convenience disguised as faith is still disobedience.

    ASK THIS:

    1. Are you seeking God's will—or His approval of your will?
    2. Have you ever asked God to bless what He never called you to do?
    3. Where have you replaced obedience with rationalization?
    4. Who in your life tells you truth instead of what you want to hear?

    DO THIS:

    • Pause before your next big decision—ask, "Is this obedience or convenience?"
    • Read Proverbs 3:5–6 and invite God to redirect you.
    • Seek counsel from someone who tells you truth, not comfort.

    PRAY THIS:

    Lord, forgive me for blessing my own plans in Your name. Teach me to ask Your questions, listen for Your answers, and follow where You lead. Amen.

    PLAY THIS:

    "What I Needed."
