Day 1: The Warning Signs

Reading: James 1:13-15

Devotional: Sin rarely announces itself as danger—it introduces itself as freedom. Like smoke rising from a car's engine, the warning signs of sin are often subtle at first. James reveals the progression: desire conceives, gives birth to sin, and sin brings forth death. The key is recognizing the early warnings before the explosion. That uneasy feeling in your spirit? That's grace operating before repentance. Conviction isn't condemnation; it's the alarm system of love. God exposes sin not to shame you, but to save you. Today, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any "smoke" in your life—those small compromises that could lead to destruction. Don't wait for the flames.
