Day 2: The Fatal Cover-Up
Reading: Acts 5:1-11
Devotional: Ananias and Sapphira's story isn't primarily about money—it's about the deadly nature of deception. They could have given any amount freely, but instead they chose to lie to appear more generous than they were. Their cover-up cost them everything. Peter's words cut to the heart: "You have not lied to people but to God." Our lies always reach higher than we intend. We think we're managing our reputation, but we're actually rejecting God's grace. The tragedy isn't that they gave less; it's that they believed the lie that covering up was safer than confessing. What small deceptions have you justified? Bring them into the light today.
