There is a quiet yet thrilling assurance in today’s reading from Miles Stanford: we are not only saved by grace, but we are kept by the One who saved us. H.A. Ironside reminds us that our journey in Christ doesn't end with forgiveness—it culminates in an unshakable promise of being found unimpeachable in the day of Christ. That word—unimpeachable—says more than "not guilty." It says no accusation can stick. No charge will stand. Because Jesus didn’t just cover our sins; He positioned Himself between us and every failure.
This is not a truth meant only for the future. It’s for today. We can rest in the fact that Jesus doesn’t just walk with us through this life—He stands for us in every courtroom of judgment, both now and to come. The cross was not only our acquittal, but our graduation robe. And the Spirit bears witness every moment that we are His, secure and beloved.
Failures may still happen. Wood, hay, and stubble may pile up. But they will not define us when we stand before our Lord. Instead, we will see clearly that every misstep was already accounted for, already consumed at the cross. We are not inching our way toward security—we are living in it, right now.
And because He has secured the final verdict, we are free to live today without fear of being disqualified tomorrow. That’s not permission to drift—it’s empowerment to worship, to walk, and to rest in the finished work of Christ, both now and forever.
🖊️ Journal Entry – Voice of the Holy Spirit Through Scripture:
You are mine—sealed, secured, and sheltered in My righteousness. I have not left your future uncertain or your standing unstable. From the moment you trusted Me, I declared you justified. Not someday—now. You are accepted in the Beloved, hidden with Christ in God, and I Myself intercede for you at the right hand of the Father.
When shame whispers that you’ll never measure up, remember that I already measured the cost—and I paid it in full. I do not charge you. I do not condemn you. I confirm you blameless, for the Blood that speaks for you speaks forever. I am not waiting to see how you turn out. I have already seen the end from the beginning, and I will present you faultless before the presence of My glory with exceeding joy.
Do not fear the wood, hay, and stubble. I will burn away what was never of Me, not to shame you—but to free you from what never truly belonged to you. The gold, silver, and precious stones of My life in you will remain. I do not regret saving you. I rejoice over you.
So walk today—not under a cloud of scrutiny, but under the banner of My love. I have carried your judgment, annulled death, disarmed the accuser, and stood in your place. Live in the peace of one who has already passed the final exam, for I am your righteousness and your forever vindication.

🌿 Real-Life Analogy:
Imagine holding a digital boarding pass for a flight that cannot be canceled. Security checks, turbulence, delays—none of it matters in the end, because the seat is guaranteed and the destination secure. The confidence doesn’t come from how calm you feel or how perfectly you packed—it comes from the confirmation in your hand that says, You're going to make it.
That’s the kind of assurance we have in Christ. Today, you might forget a conversation, lose patience, or fumble through a task—but none of that threatens your place in Him. Instead of trying harder, yield inwardly. Say in your spirit, “Lord, You are the One who confirms me blameless—I trust You to live Your peace and joy through me as I go about my day.” That’s how we walk confidently in what He has already secured.
🙏 Prayer of Confidence:
Father, I thank You that my future is not a maybe. It’s a yes and amen in Christ. You’ve not only dealt with my sin—you’ve declared me unimpeachable. Today, I walk not in fear of failure, but in the joy of knowing You’ve already confirmed me for the final day. I rest in what You have done. Let the peace of Christ rule in me, knowing I’m forever Yours.
