5-Day Devotional: The Realities of Rejecting the Lord
Day 5, Friday, October 30: Follow Me

Reading: John 21:18-19

Devotional: Jesus told Peter that even his death would glorify God. Restoration doesn’t erase consequences, and Peter still had to live with the weight of his choices. But Jesus promised to be with him through all of it, even where he didn’t want to go. Then Jesus said the same two words He spoke when He first called Peter: “Follow me.” Whatever consequences remain from seasons of wandering, rejection, or failure in your own life, they are not outside of God’s redemptive reach. He does not restore you to a life free of difficulty. He restores you to a life of meaning, purpose, and His abiding presence within the difficulty. The call is the same today as it was the first time: follow me.

Reflection: What past decisions are you still suffering consequences from? Will you surrender them to Him today and follow Him through it?

5-Day Devotional: The Realities of Rejecting the Lord
Day 4, Thursday, October 29: Love That Is Real

Reading: John 21:15-17; Revelation 2:4-5

Devotional: Three times Jesus asked Peter, “Do you love me?” He wasn’t trying to shame him. He was helping Peter see his love as it really was. Peter had talked a big game, but when it mattered, his actions didn’t match his words. Jesus still asks us the same thing. It’s easy to say He is Lord and live as though He is insignificant. Loving Christ is more than attending church once or twice a week. It grows as we come to know Him. Even those who truly love Him can be pulled toward selfish gain or comfort at times, and when that happens, take heart: His love for you has not changed.

Reflection: Do your daily choices match what you say about Jesus?

5-Day Devotional: The Realities of Rejecting the Lord
Day 3, Wednesday, October 28: The Command to Step Out

Reading: Matthew 14:28-31; Luke 9:23

Devotional: Peter did not simply step out of the boat on impulse. He asked to be commanded. There is something profound in that posture — recognizing that obedience requires a word from God, not just personal courage. The storm did not disqualify Peter from the miracle. His fear did not end the story. Jesus caught him. The same is true for you. Whatever storm surrounds your life right now, the invitation is not to muster more strength but to ask God to command your next step. Daily surrender, as Luke 9:23 describes, is not a single dramatic moment. It is a repeated, daily choice to follow even when the water is rough.

Reflection: Where in your life are you waiting for courage instead of asking God for a command?

10/27/2026

5-Day Devotional: The Realities of Rejecting the Lord
Day 2, Tuesday, October 27: Shame Is Not Your Identity

Reading: Luke 5:4-10

Devotional: When Peter first met Jesus, he saw his own sinfulness and said, “Depart from me.” Jesus didn’t answer with condemnation. He answered with an invitation: “Do not be afraid.” After denying the Lord, Peter likely carried more than regret. He carried shame. Regret is about what we did. Shame is about who we believe we are. Shame teaches us to expect failure, and left alone it shapes the way we live. But Jesus does not define you by your worst moment. The same Lord who called Peter from the boat is calling you again.

Reflection: Where are you letting shame, rather than Christ, tell you who you are?

10/26/2026

5-Day Devotional: The Realities of Rejecting the Lord
Day 1, Monday, October 26: The Pull of the Familiar

Reading: John 21:1-6

Devotional: When Peter said “I am going fishing,” he returned to what he knew. After failure and shame, the familiar feels safe. But familiar ground can become a hiding place from God rather than a path toward him. Notice that the disciples fished all night and caught nothing — effort without God’s direction yields emptiness. Whatever you have returned to in seasons of spiritual distance, God does not abandon you there. He shows up on the shoreline. He speaks into your emptiness. The same voice that first called you has not gone silent. He is still directing, still present, still patient.

Reflection: What familiar places or habits have you retreated to when feeling distant from God?

Even the greatest men of faith have walked through seasons of darkness. Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” struggled with depression throughout much of his life, yet he still stood in the pulpit and declared with David, “I love you, O Lord, my strength” (Psalm 18:1).

This past week’s message reminds us that our weakness does not disqualify us. It puts the power of God on display. As Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:9, God’s power is made perfect in weakness.

No matter what is shaking in your world right now, God is still your rock, your fortress, and your deliverer. He has never lost control. If you’ve felt overwhelmed, paralyzed, or afraid, you are not alone, and He is still there, even when you can’t see His footprints.

5-Day Devotional: Oh How I Love Jesus
Day 5, Friday, October 23: He Is My God -- Present in the Darkness

Reading: Psalm 18:1-3; Matthew 26:67; Romans 8:28

Devotional: In Matthew 26, the soldiers struck Jesus with their fists. The Greek word for that blow, kolaphizo, is the same word Paul uses in 2 Corinthians 12:7 for what his thorn in the flesh did to him: it battered him. Jesus was beaten by the very people He loved, so He understands suffering that comes from intimate places. He understands depression, fear, and the silence of God felt in the dark hours of the night. Romans 8:28 does not promise that all things will feel good. It promises that God will cause all things, even the painful ones, to work together for good. He is present. He is sovereign. He is yours.

Reflection: Have there been seasons when you doubted whether God was aware of your pain? How does the suffering of Christ reframe that doubt?

5-Day Devotional: Oh How I Love Jesus
Day 4, Thursday, October 22: He Is My Deliverer Through the Deep Waters

Reading: Psalm 77:16-20; Exodus 14:13-14; 1 Samuel 17:34-37

Devotional: Psalm 77 contains a striking observation: when God led His people through the sea, His footprints were unseen. He was there. He was working. But He left no visible trail. David, as a young shepherd, had already learned this lesson before he ever faced Goliath. He had seen God deliver him from the lion and the bear, and that history of faithfulness became the foundation for his courage in the valley. God does not always lead you around the hard thing. Often He leads you through it. And when you look back, you will find that His invisible hand was present at every step.

Reflection: Think of a past season of suffering or fear that God brought you through. What did that experience teach you about His character?

5-Day Devotional: Oh How I Love Jesus
Day 3, Wednesday, October 21: He Is My Fortress in the Battle

Reading: Psalm 46:1-11; Ephesians 6:10-13

Devotional: Martin Luther drew on Psalm 46 when he wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” one of the most enduring hymns in church history. The image of God as a fortress is not decorative language. It is a declaration of refuge in the middle of real conflict. Ephesians 6 reminds us that our struggle is ultimately not against people or circumstances, but against spiritual forces. Scripture describes our enemy as relentless, crafty, and powerful. Yet James 4:7 says to submit to God and resist the devil, and he will flee. The fortress is not a place to hide from the battle. It is the place we fight from, with confidence.

Reflection: What battle are you facing today, and how can you step into the fortress of God’s presence before you step back into the fight?
