This week’s devotions are based on the Week 11″Explore God” – Meant for More! (WATCH HERE)
BLESS someone today!
Last Sunday’s message ended with this encouragement. It wraps up our Explore God series and these last three weeks on engaging with people so God might use you to bring Jesus to them. Perhaps copy this and put it on your mirror. Let it be our brief but great devotional reminder as we head into the weekend and the weeks ahead!
B – Begin with Prayer!
L – Listen with empathy, ask questions.
E – Eat with people outside of your faith community.
S – Serve – Look for ways to be a servant to others.
S – Share the story of Jesus and your faith journey.
Let me close by sharing the vision of what it will be like when the fruits of our witnessing are seen around the throne of God. You make a difference when you share the message that makes a difference!
Revelation 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Prayer: Lord, use me to be your voice to share the good news of Jesus with someone today and every day! AMEN.
