The Milan Cathedral is one of the largest and most detailed churches ever built. Construction began in 1386 and continued for centuries, with thousands of statues, soaring spires, and intricate carvings covering nearly every surface. According to history, generations of craftsmen using hand tools, scaffolding, ropes, pulleys, horses, and carts helped bring this massive structure to life over hundreds of years. Yet when people see photographs like this, many still ask the same question: How was a building of this scale and complexity created long before modern construction equipment existed? Whether you see it as a triumph of human craftsmanship or something more mysterious, the Milan Cathedral remains one of the most astonishing structures ever built.

Strengthen me when I feel weak, and remind me that You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Help me to trust in Your promises rather than my emotions, and grant me the courage to face whatever lies ahead, knowing that You are always with me.In Your Holy Name, Amen.

Ephesians 1:7 He chose us, picked us out to be His own in Christ, before the foundations of the world…not because He needed anything, but because He willed it, because it pleased Him. Not because of what we’ve done, but because of Who He is. He is our Redeemer, our Deliverer, our Salvation…He’s the One Who Forgives our shortcomings…the One Who loves us unconditionally. We’re not worthy or deserving, but as believers who Trust in Him, we’re ‘stamped’, sealed with the Holy Spirit. Cherished by a loving Father, One Who knows right where we are when we think we’re lost. One Who guides us in the way of righteousness, disciplines in love, will never leave nor forsake us. He’s our Provider, our Protector, our Strength and our Wisdom. The cost of our redemption alone came at great sacrifice…a self sacrifice by the Creator, sacrificing Himself for the creation. Any sacrifice coming through the fallen world would’ve been tainted, impure, corrupt, unable to be the holy sacrifice required to save those He’d chosen before the foundation of the world. He did it all, loved us, chose us, rescued and delivered us, paid the price of redemption in full. A Redemption worthy to receive us into His kingdom. Not because of who we are or what we’ve done, but because of what He’s done and Who He is. Lord, even as we’re here today, we’re humbled by Your Grace and Mercy. We’re Chosen and redeemed by the creator of all things. Chosen to be and do righteousness according to Your will and purpose. Help us to recognize Your voice, to choose to do good. May what we do bring You glory.

Strengthen me when I feel weak, and remind me that You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Help me to trust in Your promises rather than my emotions, and grant me the courage to face whatever lies ahead, knowing that You are always with me.In Your Holy Name, Amen.

Welcome Wounds Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. Proverbs 27:6 Try as we might, it is easy to cringe when we hear the words, “Now, you know I wouldn’t say this if I didn’t care about you, but . . .” It is a rare person who does not mind being criticized. It may help to realize that there truly is such a thing as constructive criticism. True friends who offer constructive criticism are seeking to help us become better people; the wound is merely the means to that end. Motivation is the key; true friends have our best interests at heart. Motivation is also the key when an enemy “kisses” us. He or she certainly does not have our best interests at heart; the motive is of the ulterior variety. Perhaps the goal is to trick us into thinking the person is a friend in order to gain an advantage over us. Or the hope may be merely to use us against another person. The question for us concerns the foundation of the relationship: Is it trust or distrust? A WORD FOR TODAY Genuine love risks pain. Lord, help me to recognize my true friends and to accept the ways that you use them to make me a better person.

What can I learn from fear? Proverbs 9:10 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment. A healthy fear of God leads us to respect his Word and his way—the foundation of all wisdom. Deuteronomy 31:7-8 Then Moses called for Joshua, and as all Israel watched, he said to him, “Be strong and courageous! . . Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Joshua 1:9 “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Fear can be good if it teaches us about courage. Joshua couldn’t have truly understood courage if he hadn’t experienced fear. Fear grew his courageous character and taught him to rely on and trust in God.
