Monday
We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.
- Matthew 12:1
We often think of spiritual battles happening in dark, obvious places - but some of the most dangerous spiritual warfare occurs right in our churches and faith communities. Sacred spaces can become breeding grounds for deception when we're not discerning. The enemy doesn't always come with obvious temptation; sometimes he hides behind correct doctrine held by someone with a wrong heart. This is why we must stay alert even in familiar, comfortable religious settings. The very places where we expect to encounter God can become places where Satan operates most effectively, wrapping his influence in the language of faith. We need wisdom to distinguish between genuine spiritual authority and religious manipulation. Just because someone quotes Scripture or holds a position of religious leadership doesn't automatically make their influence godly. Our guard must stay up, and our discernment must stay sharp, especially in sacred spaces.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Memory Verse
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
