Thursday
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.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
- John 11:25-26
Have you noticed that Jesus has a pattern of revealing Himself precisely when people need Him most? When Martha and Mary were grieving their brother's death, Jesus showed up and declared, 'I am the resurrection and the life.' When the disciples were terrified in the storm, He revealed His power over nature. When people were hungry, He multiplied bread and fish. In every case, Jesus reveals His identity at the point of need. This isn't coincidence - it's intentional. Your God doesn't have to be summoned from afar because He is the 'I AM' who is already present in your situation. Whether you're facing a crisis that feels overwhelming or simply navigating the ordinary challenges of daily life, Jesus is there, ready to reveal Himself in ways that meet your specific need. Sometimes we think we need to have everything figured out before we can approach God, or that we need to clean up our lives before He'll show up. But the beautiful truth is that Jesus specializes in meeting us right where we are, in whatever condition we find ourselves. He doesn't wait for perfect circumstances or perfect people - He reveals Himself at the point of need. This transforms how you can approach each day. Instead of carrying the weight of your problems alone, you can live with the awareness that the One who has all power and authority is present with you in this moment. You don't have to wonder 'what if' or hold your breath waiting for Him to show up. He's already here, ready to reveal Himself in whatever way you need Him most. Your current challenge, whatever it may be, is not too small for His attention or too big for His power. He is present at your point of need.
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
