Reflection
In today's readings, ancient promises meet present reality through Christ. Jeremiah 30-33 delivers God's message of restoration and the new covenant written on hearts rather than stone. 1 Peter 1 celebrates the living hope we now possess through Jesus' resurrection, showing how God's prophesied restoration has come through Christ's redemptive work.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God's promised restoration through the new covenant finds fulfillment in Christ, giving us living hope and calling us to holy living in response to His faithfulness.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Embrace the living hope of your salvation and respond with holy living that reflects God's transforming work in your heart.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Write down three specific ways God has shown His faithfulness to you recently.

2. Read 1 Peter 1:3-9 aloud and thank God for one aspect of your inheritance in Christ.

3. Identify one area where you need to "set your hope fully" on God's grace today.

4. Practice holiness in one specific situation where you're tempted to compromise.

5. Tell someone about the hope you have in Christ and why it sustains you.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: How does understanding God's faithfulness to ancient promises strengthen your trust in His current promises to you?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God's new covenant transforms our hearts from within, giving us living hope through Christ's resurrection. Let this hope anchor your soul as you walk in holiness today. Until tomorrow, may you experience the reality of God's promises fulfilled in Christ.
