Devotion: Embracing Humility and Service

Scripture Reading: John 13:1-17

1. Reflect on the Story

In a powerful act of humility, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. This was a task typically reserved for servants, yet Jesus, their Teacher and Lord, performed it to demonstrate the true nature of servant leadership. By doing so, He gave His disciples—and us—a profound example of love, humility, and service.

2. Digging Deeper

Jesus’ actions in John 13:14-15 are a call to humility and service: “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.” This passage challenges us to put aside our pride and status to serve others. True greatness in God’s kingdom is measured by our willingness to humble ourselves and serve, not by our position or power.

3. Call to Action

Reflect on your attitudes towards humility and service. Are there areas where pride prevents you from serving others? Consider practical ways you can serve those around you, whether through acts of kindness, volunteering, or simply offering a listening ear. Embrace the mindset of Christ, who served selflessly and loved deeply.

4. Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your example of humility and service. Help me to follow in Your footsteps by serving others with a humble heart. Teach me to put others’ needs before my own and to love without expecting anything in return. May my actions reflect Your love and grace to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Blazing-Throne-of-Grace-W

Devotion: Healing through Faith

Scripture Reading: John 9:1-12

1. Reflect on the Story

The story of Jesus healing the blind man is a profound example of the transformative power of faith. Born blind, the man had known only darkness until Jesus restored his sight. This miracle was not just a physical healing but also a spiritual revelation, as the man came to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

2. Digging Deeper

In John 9:3, Jesus explains that the man’s blindness was an opportunity to display the works of God. The healing process involved Jesus making mud with His saliva, placing it on the man’s eyes, and instructing him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. The man’s obedience and faith led to his healing. This story teaches us that sometimes healing and transformation require us to trust and act in faith, even when the process is unconventional or difficult to understand.

3. Call to Action

Consider areas in your life where you need healing—physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Reflect on the role of faith in your healing process. Are you willing to trust God’s methods, even if they seem unusual? Take a step of faith, like the blind man, and seek Jesus for healing. Remember, faith involves both belief and action.

4. Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the healing power of faith. Help me to trust in Your ability to heal me in all areas of my life. Give me the courage to step out in faith, even when the path is unclear. I pray for Your healing touch and for the strength to obey Your guidance. Thank You for the restoration and new vision that You bring. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Blazing-Throne-of-Grace-W

Devotion: Trusting in God’s Provision

Scripture Reading: John 6:1-14

1. Reflect on the Story

The miracle of the Feeding of the 5,000 is a remarkable demonstration of God’s provision. With a boy’s offering of five loaves and two fish, Jesus fed a multitude of people, with plenty left over. This miracle not only met the physical needs of the crowd but also revealed Jesus’ divine authority and compassion.

2. Digging Deeper

Jesus’ act of multiplying the loaves and fish teaches us about God’s ability to provide abundantly for our needs. In John 6:11, it is written, “Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.” This passage highlights the importance of gratitude and trust in God’s provision. The disciples were initially concerned about the lack of resources, but Jesus demonstrated that God can multiply even the smallest offerings when given in faith.

3. Call to Action

Reflect on areas in your life where you may be experiencing lack or uncertainty. Are you trusting God to provide for your needs, or are you relying solely on your own efforts? Take a step of faith by offering what you have to God, trusting that He can multiply it. Remember to express gratitude for what you have, and trust that God knows and will meet your needs.

4. Prayer

Lord, thank You for being my provider. Help me to trust in Your ability to meet my needs, even when resources seem scarce. Teach me to offer what I have to You with a grateful heart, knowing that You can multiply it. Help me to see Your provision in my life and to trust that You will always provide for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Devotion: Under God’s Protection

Scripture Reading: Daniel 6

1. Reflect on the Story

The story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den is a powerful testimony to God’s protection. Daniel, a faithful servant of God, faced persecution for his unwavering faith. Despite the threat of being thrown into a den of lions, Daniel continued to pray to God, trusting in His protection. God honored Daniel’s faithfulness by shutting the mouths of the lions, sparing his life.

2. Digging Deeper

Daniel’s story demonstrates that God’s protection doesn’t always mean the absence of danger but rather His presence in the midst of it. In Daniel 6:22, Daniel says, “My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions.” This miraculous event shows that God is sovereign over all circumstances and can deliver His people from harm. It also reminds us that our faithfulness to God, even in difficult situations, is a powerful witness to others.

3. Call to Action

Blazing-Throne-of-Grace-W

Devotion: The Power of Forgiveness

Scripture Reading: Genesis 37-50

1. Reflect on the Story

The story of Joseph and his brothers is a profound tale of betrayal and forgiveness. Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy, but years later, Joseph rose to power in Egypt. When famine struck, his brothers came to him for help, not knowing his true identity. Despite the wrongs they had done to him, Joseph chose to forgive them, providing for their needs and restoring the family.

2. Digging Deeper

Joseph’s forgiveness was rooted in his understanding of God’s sovereignty. In Genesis 50:20, he tells his brothers, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Joseph’s perspective on God’s plan enabled him to let go of bitterness and embrace forgiveness. This story teaches us that forgiveness is not about condoning wrong actions but about releasing the burden of bitterness and trusting God’s greater plan.

3. Call to Action

Reflect on any grudges or unforgiven hurts in your life. Holding onto resentment can weigh you down and hinder your relationship with God and others. Ask God to help you see the bigger picture and to give you the strength to forgive those who have wronged you. Remember, forgiveness is a journey, and it begins with a willingness to let go of the past.

4. Prayer

Lord, thank You for Joseph’s example of forgiveness and trust in Your plan. Help me to release any bitterness or resentment I hold towards others. Give me the grace to forgive, just as You have forgiven me. Teach me to see Your hand at work in all situations and to trust that You can bring good out of even the most difficult circumstances. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
