We challenge how we spend time and what our choices prove, read Hebrews 13 and Psalm 115 on trust and idols, and revisit Columbus through primary sources and Las Casas to test easy narratives and seek honest history with a Christian lens. We add a Medal of Honor snapshot to ground virtue in action and close with prayer and practical calls to trust God in daily life.

• examining whether our last 24 hours reflect faith
• Hebrews 13 on love, marriage, generosity, and obedience
• Psalm 115 contrasting living trust with lifeless idols
• Proverbs on how praise tests character and folly clings
• trusting God as helper and shield without fear
• Medal of Honor: Horatio L. Birdsall, courage and service
• Queen Isabella’s commission and shipboard devotions
• Columbus’s journal entries on peaceful contact and conversion by love
• Las Casas’s role, sources, and complexity over slogans
• personal challenge to prioritize God, spouse, and neighbor
