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.
Have you noticed how being around certain people changes you? Some friends leave you feeling drained and discouraged, while others inspire you to be better. This isn't coincidence - both flourishing and chaos are contagious. When we surround ourselves with people who are genuinely pursuing God's alignment in their lives, something powerful happens. Their faithfulness challenges our complacency. Their joy in obedience makes our own spiritual disciplines more appealing. Their peace in difficult circumstances shows us what's possible when we truly trust God's Word. But the opposite is equally true. When we consistently spend time with people who treat God's Word as optional, their casual approach to faith begins to feel normal. Their complaints become our complaints. Their shortcuts become our shortcuts. This doesn't mean we avoid everyone who struggles - we're all works in progress. Rather, it means being intentional about who has the greatest influence in our lives. We need people who will lovingly challenge us when we're drifting toward self-deception and celebrate with us when we choose alignment over convenience. The early church understood this principle. They didn't just meet on Sundays; they did life together. They shared meals, resources, and struggles. In this community, faith wasn't just taught - it was caught. Who are the people in your life who inspire you toward greater alignment with God? How can you invest more deeply in those relationships while also becoming someone who helps others flourish?
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!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
-1 John 1:9
