The Greatness of His Steadfast Love

Today's Passage
Psalm 103:1–13

Highlighted Verse
“For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;”— Psalm 103:11

Today, rather than sharing our usual devotional, we want to encourage you to spend a few minutes reading Psalm 103:1–13. These verses are filled with wonderful reminders of the Lord’s goodness, mercy, and steadfast love toward His people. May they fill our hearts with gratitude and praise as we begin our day.

“Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD works righteousness and justice
for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
His acts to the people of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger
and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.”

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many ways You have shown Your goodness toward us. Thank You for Your mercy and grace, for the forgiveness of our sins through Jesus, and for the compassion You show Your children. May we never forget Your kindness or take Your steadfast love for granted. Fill our hearts with gratitude, and may our lives bring praise and honor to Your holy name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let These Words Sink In

Today’s Passage: Luke 9:43–45

Highlighted Verse:

“Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.” — Luke 9:44

There is something worth noticing about the timing of Jesus’ words in this passage. The crowd had just witnessed Him deliver a boy from an unclean spirit, and everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. Yet while the people were marveling at His power, Jesus was speaking to His disciples about the suffering that awaited Him.

This wasn’t the first time He had told them what was coming. Earlier in Luke 9, Jesus had spoken plainly about His death and resurrection, and on the mountain, Moses and Elijah had discussed His coming departure in Jerusalem. During that same event, the Father had commanded the disciples to listen to His Son. Now, with the crowd still amazed at His power, Jesus was telling them something they especially needed to hear: He was about to be delivered into the hands of men.

What stands out is that the disciples still didn’t understand. Luke tells us the meaning was hidden from them, and they were afraid to ask Jesus about it. They had witnessed His miracles, heard His teaching, and seen His glory, yet there was still so much about His mission they couldn’t grasp.

But as we read these verses today, we have the benefit of knowing what happened next. Jesus went to Jerusalem, suffered, died, and rose again, just as He had told them. What the disciples couldn’t yet understand was at the very heart of God’s plan to redeem sinners.

There’s something encouraging about seeing how patiently Jesus continued preparing His disciples, even when they struggled to understand His words. He knew what lay ahead, and He continued teaching them because what He was telling them mattered.

We won’t always understand everything we read in Scripture the first time, and there may be things we wrestle with for years. When we come across something in God’s Word that we don’t understand, we shouldn’t be afraid to spend more time with it, asking God to help us understand what He has revealed.

And as we do, may we never lose sight of what these verses make so clear to us today. Jesus knew the suffering that awaited Him, and He willingly continued toward Jerusalem to give His life for our salvation.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word and helping us grow in our understanding of it. Teach us to listen carefully, to seek understanding when we struggle, and to trust what You have revealed. Most of all, thank You for sending Jesus, who knew the suffering that awaited Him and willingly went to the cross for our salvation. Help us to grow in our love for Him and in our desire to follow Him. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

His Power, Our Dependence

Today’s Passage: Luke 9:37–43

Highlighted Verse:

“Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.” — Luke 9:42

The day after Peter, James, and John witnessed the glory of Jesus on the mountain, they came down to find a desperate father pleading for help. His only son was suffering terribly under the power of an unclean spirit, and the disciples had been unable to help him.

What makes their failure especially striking is that earlier in Luke 9, Jesus had given the Twelve power and authority over demons. They had already been sent out to minister in His name, yet here they were faced with something they could not overcome.

It’s a reminder that whatever abilities or opportunities the Lord gives us, we never reach a place where we no longer need to depend upon Him. Past experiences and even years of faithful service cannot take the place of trusting the Lord in what is before us today.

But Luke doesn’t leave our attention on the disciples’ failure. When the boy was brought to Jesus, the unclean spirit threw him down and convulsed him. Jesus rebuked the spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

That last detail is easy to pass over, but it’s worth considering. This father had come pleading for his only child, and Jesus returned his son to him, healed and delivered from the suffering that had gripped his life. In the same moment, we see both the authority of Christ over evil and His compassion toward those who are suffering.

Luke tells us that everyone was amazed at the majesty of God. Just the day before, three disciples had witnessed Christ’s glory on the mountain. Now, before the crowd, His greatness was being displayed through an act of mercy.

And that is where our attention should rest as well. We may recognize our own limitations in the disciples’ failure, but our confidence is not found in what we are able to do. It rests in Jesus Christ, whose authority is complete and whose compassion gives us every reason to come to Him with our needs.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for showing us the power and compassion of Your Son. Help us never to become so confident in our own abilities that we forget how much we depend upon You. Give us compassion for those who are suffering and hearts that trust Christ in every circumstance. May our lives bring glory to You as we recognize Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Glory of Christ Revealed

Today’s Passage: Luke 9:28–36

Highlighted Verse:

“And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!’” — Luke 9:35

The Transfiguration is one of those passages that becomes more meaningful when we slow down and consider how it fits into the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record Jesus speaking about His coming suffering, the cost of following Him, and the promise that some standing there would see the kingdom of God before they died. Each then takes us to the mountain where Peter, James, and John witness His glory.

But one of the most remarkable details of this passage is what Moses and Elijah were speaking with Jesus about. Luke tells us they were discussing His departure, which He was about to accomplish in Jerusalem.

Notice that word accomplish. Jesus was not simply approaching the end of His earthly life. He was moving toward the fulfillment of the very purpose for which He had come. Through His death and resurrection, He would secure the redemption God had promised throughout Scripture. And there stood Moses and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets, bearing witness to what was about to take place in Jerusalem.

And while Peter was still trying to understand what he was witnessing, the Father spoke from the cloud, declaring Jesus to be His Son and commanding the disciples to listen to Him. Moses and Elijah had faithfully served God and spoken His Word, but now the Son Himself stood before them. Everything God had promised through the Law and the Prophets was finding its fulfillment in Christ.

That gives us something wonderful to consider as we read this passage. The disciples were seeing the glory of the Savior who would soon give His life for sinners. The cross wasn’t an unexpected turn in God’s plan. It was the very work Jesus had come to accomplish.

And when we understand that, the Father’s command to listen to His Son carries even greater weight. We aren’t following someone who merely taught us how to live. We are following Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who accomplished our redemption and is worthy of our trust and obedience.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for revealing the glory of Your Son and for the salvation He accomplished through His death and resurrection. Help us to see more clearly how Your Word points us to Christ and to treasure what He has done for us. Give us hearts that listen to His words, trust His promises, and follow Him faithfully. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Example We Set

Today’s Passage: Proverbs 22:6

Highlighted Verse:

“Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.”
— Proverbs 22:6

Have we ever really stopped to think about what Proverbs 22:6 means when it tells us to train up a child “in the way he should go”?

There’s a lot we want to teach children as they grow up. We want them to make good decisions, develop good character, work hard, and become responsible adults. Those are all worthwhile things, and much of our time and attention goes toward preparing them for those responsibilities.

But there’s something far more important than simply preparing them to make their way in this world. We want them to know the Lord, to love His Word, and to understand what it means to walk in obedience to Him. The wisdom they need for life begins with the fear of the Lord, and that’s a foundation worth building upon from an early age.

Of course, that kind of training involves instruction, correction, patience, and encouragement. There will be plenty of opportunities to teach them what Scripture says and help them understand how it applies to their lives. But there’s another part of that training that happens even when we aren’t intentionally teaching them anything.

Children are watching us. They see what matters to us, what gets our time, what excites us, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for. Over time, they’re learning something about our faith, not just from what we tell them, but from where it ranks in our priorities and how it affects our lives.

And that brings us back to the way we’re trying to teach them to go. Are we simply pointing them in the right direction, or are we showing them the way through how we live?

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for our children and for the young people You place in our lives. Give us wisdom to teach them Your truth and faithfulness to live according to Your Word. Help us to follow Christ in such a way that they can look to our lives and see an example worth following. May our words and our actions point them toward You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Known Completely

Today’s Passage: Psalm 139

Highlighted Verses:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.”
— Psalm 139:23–24

There are things about us that even the people closest to us will never fully know. They may know our habits, see how we live, and understand much of what matters to us, but no one sees every thought, every motive, and every part of our lives the way God does.

Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows the ordinary details of our lives. He knows when we sit down and when we rise, and He understands our thoughts. He knows the paths we take, all our ways, and even the words we are about to speak. Nothing about us is outside His notice.

And His presence is just as complete as His knowledge. There is nowhere we can go where He is absent. Distance does not separate us from Him, and darkness cannot hide us from His sight.

David then looks all the way back to the beginning of life. He speaks of being formed in the womb and of his days being known by God before they had even unfolded. Thinking about how completely God has known him from the very beginning leaves David amazed by the greatness of God’s thoughts toward him.

Near the end of the psalm, David speaks strongly about wickedness and those who oppose God. But after looking at the evil around him, he does not finish there. He turns toward his own heart and prays,

“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.”

There may be things in our own hearts that we do not see clearly or simply overlook, which is why David asks God to search him, show him anything that needs to change, and lead him in the right way.

There is something both comforting and humbling about that prayer. God knows us better than we know ourselves, so we do not have to hide from Him. Knowing that, we can come honestly before Him, willing to let Him show us what needs to change and trusting the direction He leads us.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for knowing us completely and for being present with us wherever we go. Help us to live honestly before You, knowing that nothing in our hearts or lives is hidden from Your sight. Search us, show us anything that needs to change, and lead us in the way You would have us go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Take Up Your Cross Daily

Today’s Passage: Luke 9:23–27

Highlighted Verse:

“Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’”
— Luke 9:23

Jesus has just told His disciples that He must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and rise again. Then He says to them all,

“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

When Jesus tells us to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily, He is calling us to follow Him rather than let our own desires have the final say, even when obedience to Him is costly.

Jesus goes on to ask what profit there is in gaining the whole world if we ourselves are destroyed or lost. We can spend a lifetime chasing or protecting the things that seem important to us and still miss what matters most if they become more important than following Christ.

Jesus also warns about being ashamed of Him and His words, reminding us that following Him includes holding to what He says even when the people around us see things differently.

He never hides the cost of discipleship, but He also shows us why the cost is worth it. We may have to give up comfort, approval, plans, or things we would rather hold onto, but none of those are worth turning away from Christ. True life is found in following Him.

After speaking about the cost of following Him, Jesus points ahead to the glory that is coming. He tells them that some standing there would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God. And in the very next passage, Peter, James, and John go with Jesus up the mountain, where Luke tells us they saw His glory.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for showing us clearly what it means to follow Jesus. Help us not to build our lives around our own comfort, desires, or approval from others. Teach us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Christ faithfully. When obedience costs us something, help us remember what truly matters and give us courage not to be ashamed of Jesus or His words, that we may live boldly for Him. Amen.

The Christ of God

Today’s Passage: Luke 9:18–22

Highlighted Verse:

“He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Peter answered and said, ‘The Christ of God.’”
— Luke 9:20

Luke has been steadily showing us more and more of who Jesus is. He has shown us Jesus teaching, healing the sick, casting out demons, calming the storm, raising the dead, and feeding thousands in the wilderness. With each one, the question of who Jesus is has come into clearer focus. Now Jesus turns to His disciples and asks them directly.

“Who do the crowds say that I am?”

The answers are familiar. Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and others one of the old prophets. The people know there is something remarkable about Jesus, but they still do not understand who He truly is.

Then Jesus asks the disciples,

“But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answers, “The Christ of God.”

For the first time, one of the disciples says plainly what Luke has been revealing through everything Jesus has said and done. He is not simply another prophet. He is the promised Christ.

Jesus’ next words show that there was still more for them to understand:

“And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, saying, ‘The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.’”

Knowing Jesus as the Christ also means understanding what He came to do. His suffering and death will not be a failure of His mission. They are part of it, and resurrection is already included in what He tells them is coming.

That keeps us from shaping Jesus around our own expectations. We do not get to decide what kind of Christ He should be. We receive Him as He has revealed Himself through His Word.

And the more clearly we see who Jesus is and what He came to accomplish, the more firmly our faith can rest in Him.

Let’s pray,

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for continuing to reveal Jesus to us through Your Word. Help us not to shape Him around our own expectations, but to know Him as You have shown Him to us. As we grow in that understanding, strengthen our faith and help us trust Him more deeply. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
