More Than Hacks - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Psalms 110-112; 1 Corinthians 5

He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever—holy and awesome is his name.
Psalm 111:9

Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 111

I recently found a "hack" (a clever solution to a tricky problem) when one of my grandchildren warmed her toy rabbit on our fireplace glass. The resulting globs of fake bunny fur weren't pretty, but a fireplace expert provided a great hack—a tip for how to make the glass look like new. It worked, and now we no longer allow stuffed animals near the fireplace!

I bring up hacks because sometimes we can view Scripture as a collection of hacks—tips to make life easier. While it's true that the Bible has much to say about how to live a Christ-honoring new life, that's not the only purpose of the Book. What Scripture provides for us is a solution for mankind's greatest need: rescue from sin and eternal separation from God.

From the promise of salvation in Genesis 3:15 all the way to the true hope of a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1-2), the Bible explains that God has an eternal plan for rescuing us from our sin and allowing us to enjoy fellowship with Him. In every story and every suggestion for how to live, the Bible is pointing us to Jesus—the only One who can solve our biggest problem.

When we open God's Book, may we remember that we're looking for Jesus, the rescue He offers, and how to live as His children. He's provided the greatest solution of all!
