We’ve all charged after something we thought would finally set things right, only to watch it cost us everything we hoped to protect. That’s the dumb-ox pattern God confronts in Isaiah 1 when he asks his people, “Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel?”
Jason walks us through the beautiful story of Ruth and how the story points us to the Savior as we continue on in 52 Verses, 52 Books and 52 Weeks for 2026.
It’s great to know about how amazing Jesus is and wonderful to find out that the angels are incredibly powerful creations He made, too. But, where does that leave us?

A vaccination can leave you feeling wretched for a week, tempting you to wish you could undo it and try again later.
