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.
On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
- Luke 17:11-19
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to miss the extraordinary in the ordinary? We often think of God's grace as something reserved for dramatic moments - healings, miracles, or major life changes. But what if grace is woven into every single moment of our lives? When ten lepers encountered Jesus, they were desperate men living on the margins of society. Disease had stolen their health, their relationships, and their hope. Yet in their darkest hour, they discovered something profound: mercy was available to them. They didn't need to clean up their lives first or prove their worthiness. They simply cried out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" Their desperation led them to the right place - not to their own understanding or solutions, but to the source of all grace. Sometimes our greatest struggles become our greatest gifts because they strip away our self-reliance and point us toward God's abundant mercy. Grace isn't just present in the big moments; it's present in this very moment as you read these words. It's in your next breath, your next heartbeat, your next opportunity to choose love over fear. When we begin to see grace everywhere, everything changes - starting with us. Today, instead of waiting for a dramatic intervention, look for the quiet ways God is already at work in your life. His grace is there, waiting to be noticed and received.
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:
