Scripture -
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14

Devotion -
The writer of the book of Hebrews encourages the followers of Jesus in his time to remain steadfast in their faith by always looking to Christ. Though they have struggled against sin, they have not shed blood over it. So, they are to endure the rebuke of God, who disciplines those he loves. This has a refining effect on the believer, strengthening them so that sin may not be an impediment in their walk with Christ, but instead they are healed over time. As this happens within a body of believers, it spreads toward others around us, lessening conflict as we understand either the plight of the spiritually blind or the struggle of carrying our cross.
To undergo discipline is to recognize the love of God, bringing a deep sense of respect to the Lord, and understanding the cost of sin. The writer of Hebrews helps us recognize the communal effects this has on the body of believers and those outside of it. If I am being disciplined, humbled, and loved by the Lord, then so is my brother and sister in Christ. If I was once blind but now found, then it is possible for those who don’t know Christ to experience the same. But how will it be convincing to those around me that this is true? What separates us from the rest of the world?
The holiness that is brought on by faith in Christ. We make the effort to live in peace with everyone because we are now ambassadors of God. It is not that people see our goodness. All glory always be to God; they see the light of Christ in us.

Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
We embrace the times of discipline as we are confronted by your word that so poignantly shows us how we ought to walk by faith in Christ. It is your Son, Jesus, who says we are redeemed; it is the Holy Spirit who helps us in our walk. Help us be sensitive to your word, always striving to apply it for your glory, so that others may see your goodness. Help us to be good representatives of your kingdom. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Scripture -
“Mercy and truth have met together;
Righteousness and peace have kissed.” – Psalm 85:10

Devotion -
The sons of Korah reflect on how the Lord has been merciful to Israel and turned his wrath away. They call for restoration and salvation from the Lord, asking a series of questions showing that they were undergoing a time of discipline from God. Once the writers recognize the lesson they received with clarity, they submit themselves to God and, in hope, recognize and personify mercy and truth, righteousness and peace as they come to a union bringing about goodness, favor, and salvation to the land and its people.
Being in trouble with any authority has an odd feeling, but it especially looms over our hearts as it relates to God. We have all, at some point in our lives, been at odds with the Lord either prior to salvation or when we sin. Though this verse stands outside of the New Testament, it serves as a wonderful analogy to what we experience when we have faith in Christ. We can read the Psalm recognizing the context of its writers and appreciating the reflection of its truth in light of Christ. For Jesus is the word made flesh, sacrificed on the cross in mercy to those who have faith in him, fulfilling all righteousness as the prince of peace. For it is through what God ordained to fulfill all righteousness that we may enjoy and bask in his love.
Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we sift through the word give us clarity, open our minds, but most importantly, our hearts. Help us be a church that can explain scripture, fixed on Christ, and led by the Holy Spirit. Let it not be a purely intellectual endeavor but an exercise in humility for your glory alone. As we read and are nourished by your word, let us be the kind of followers who cast seeds of faith everywhere we go, so that we may have an abundant harvest and bring many to faith by the power of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Scripture -
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself
give you peace always in every way.
The Lord be with you all.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Devotion -
This is the benediction that the Apostle Paul uses to close 2 Thessalonians right after giving advice to godly men with how to deal with brothers in Christ who are walking in a disorderly way. He is specific about work within the context of ministry. There are several things Paul addresses in his epistles to the Thessalonians, and many of them relate to either their present or future challenges regarding their faith in Christ. Though he addresses issues within the body of Christ and outside, he assures them in this benediction of the peace found in the presence of Christ.

Paul was wise in how he communicated to those in Thessaloniki. At times he was very direct, like the way he starts 2 Thessalonians, speaking about God’s final judgment and glory. Paul’s benediction of peace and the earlier message of the willingness for those in the church to suffer are two sides of the same coin. Paul does not discount the reality of suffering for Christians. Instead, he urges his readers to embrace it and be counted worthy of this calling so that the name of Jesus be glorified through the body of believers according to the grace of God and Jesus. In this way Christ is with us, because the life we now live in the body we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. His faithfulness is everlasting.

Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
We do not want to be like those in the end who didn’t know Jesus. We want to walk each and every day with him. We want his words to ring and echo in our minds and hearts so that we meditate and listen to your words. Help us draw nearer to Christ day by day and help us in our weak moments to know that Jesus has been faithful every day of our lives. Help us carry our cross, even keeled and not in quiet desperation, so that we may give you all the glory and all the praise without wavering, all the days of our lives. We pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture -
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!” – Psalm 107:31

Devotion -
This verse appears several times in this Psalm of thanksgiving: first in verse 8, then in verses 15 and 21, and finally in verse 31. Each of them is part of a set of verses praising and giving thanks to God for all his wonderful works. This verse is paired with a section that starts with a nautical theme, describing how the Lord commands the waters and the wind. When they are in trouble out in the waters, they cry out to the Lord, and he calms the storm.

The Lord calmed the storm in the book of Jonah and in the story where Jesus calmed the storm in Luke and Matthew chapter 8, Mark chapter 4, and John chapter 6. When we reflect on the works of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in Scripture, we recognize that humans have a knee-jerk reaction to call upon the Lord in times of trouble. When we are delivered from these difficult times by calling on the name of the Lord, either by prayer, doing his will, or submission to service, we overflow in thanksgiving. Salvation comes from the Lord, and his works in Scripture and our lives serve for us to fear him and worship in humility, in the Spirit and in truth.

Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
We give thanks for all the times you have kept us out of trouble, and all the times you have delivered us out of difficult times. A lot of times we have to make a mental shift that aligns better with your word and your Spirit. When we obey and follow Christ, we are sure to find peace and the blessed assurance that you are in control and have the power and dominion over all. We need to exercise faith. For you tell us that nothing is impossible if we have faith. We give you thanks and praise, knowing that we can share your word, and you will go before us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Scripture -
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.”
– Galatians 6:18
Devotion -
This is the concluding verse in the book of Galatians, serving as a blessing and prayer for the church in Galatia, which had been divided over the issue of circumcision. Some were of the opinion, having listened to certain teachers, that being a follower of Christ meant they had to be circumcised. Instead, Paul writes against such a practice, as that would mean a person is living under the law and not the grace of Christ. Paul explains that living by the Spirit in submission and obedience to Jesus displaces and removes the chains of being under the law.
Some people really love rules, others really like to break them, and most will find a way to bend them for their benefit. But Paul is not pointing to a worldly thing here. He is telling followers of Christ to harbor the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in their hearts so much that his promise and fulfillment of the word of God sustain, nourish them, and keep them away from legalism. This is what was applicable then, and today. The consequences of such things are that the grace extended to us makes us live radically in relationship to Christ. And that the grace shown to us extends to others through that overflowing relationship with Jesus.
Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
You are present in our lives, shaping us, and making us conform to your word by the power of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Help us be wise, to live by your word. Continue to illuminate our hearts and minds so that we may share the good news with people who are struggling and find themselves in dire straits. Let your word be the hopeful message they need to hear, that is, the forgiveness of sins for many who partake of the blood of Christ and consume the body which was given up for us. Help us convey that they are lost without Jesus, and in Christ they are forgiven, chosen, and redeemed through his sacrifice. Help us be bold with our faith. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Scripture -
“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished” – Romans 3:25

Devotion -
In the book of Romans, Paul gives a thorough explanation of who Christ is, our human nature without Jesus, and what it means to be a follower of Christ. In this passage of scripture, we are told that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross had a purpose, which was to atone for the sins of all so that when those who recognize this put their faith in Christ, they live under grace, justified before God.

What does it mean to have faith? We use the word faith or faithful to describe aspects of relationships such as consistent devotion, love and care. We also use the word faith when describing a religious leaning. But to have faith in Christ requires a certain knowledge. It requires us to recognize our sin. This happens when our hearts are confronted by the glory of Christ, and we perceive the divide between the perfection of Christ as King and contrast with our fallen state. As we recognize our need to be reconciled to God, grace in the form of Christ’s death and resurrection is extended to us and restores us before the Father. But it requires for us to faithfully exercise faith in Christ, trusting day by day to let go of what we think is right and submit to whom we know is our Christ.
Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
If and when we fall, your grace is more. When we stumble, you correct us; when we are afraid, you guide us; when we are surrounded by enemies, you help us. When we were blind, you opened the eyes of our hearts. Thank you, Jesus, for your presence in our lives to give us discernment to recognize the things that matter, the things we shouldn’t worry about, and the thorough understanding of our humanity and our need for you. Help us by the power of your Spirit to stay humble, exercise faith, pray, and fight the good fight so that glory will always be given to you. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Scripture -
“The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.” – Psalm 28:7
Devotion -
David calls on the Lord, his Rock, and focuses his heart and attention toward the presence of God. He asks for the Lord to keep him from becoming a double-minded person. Then David prays for the destruction of such people who pretend to be “cordial with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.” David explains what happens to them because of their sin. Then he praises the Lord again, and there is a contrast between the faithful heart of David, which contends with not falling into the way of the world, and the double minded. It is the Lord who makes and keeps us holy.
In this Psalm there is a broad range of emotive responses on the part of David. He has a great disdain for sin and sinners. It's easy to read the text and think David is having a self-righteous moment near the end, but in fact he displays exactly what happens to us when we come to Christ. We cannot save or protect ourselves. When we trust Jesus as our Lord and Shepherd, his guidance, love, and discipline are like no other. With Christ in our heart, the Spirit wells within us, disdain for sin first within ourselves, and keeps us humble so we may correctly work it out in others through the word of God. For the Lord truly is the strength of his people and carries us forever.
Prayer-
Dear Heavenly Father,
It is a great joy to be found and seen by you not as sinners but washed by the blood of the lamb and pure in your sight. Convict us of our sin by the power of the Spirit, Lord, when we do and think bad things. Develop in our hearts a sensitivity that clearly perceives our proclivity to sin. Turn us away from resulting pits of despair and make us run into the everlasting arms of Jesus, for the Lord is our salvation. We give you thanks and praise. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Scripture -
“I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.” – Ephesians 3:13

Devotion -
Paul begins this chapter explaining to the Ephesian church, made up of mostly Gentiles, that he is a prisoner of Christ Jesus for their sake. By explaining Christ, which was revealed by the Spirit to the apostles and prophets, he shows them how they are also heirs together with Israel to the promises of God in Christ – a great mystery to the Jews. He adds to the account of how God does the unexpected by explaining how Paul himself was given the grace to administer this mystery to the gentiles. For Paul, it is a privilege to suffer if it means glorifying the Lord by furthering the kingdom of God.

So much of how we see the world is tainted by a limited range of scope, biases, and notions carried around by previous experience. But God has a way of radically shifting our expectations, confronting our heart and changing our minds. As we make ourselves available to do his work, we may suffer trials and hardships which in themselves are blessings as we are being sanctified. Paul was bearing these sufferings because Christ bore our sins; we can walk as Paul did because Jesus lives.
Prayer -
Dear Heavenly Father,
You see us, our hearts and minds. Help us be gospel-sharing people who are bold in declaring that salvation comes from the Lord. We pray that as Christ is the center of our Church, we may count it all joy, any struggles, if it means furthering your kingdom. As we hear the voice of our shepherd, Jesus, let us not stray by our knowledge or understanding but instead walk by faith in Christ. Lead us on the path of righteousness for your name's sake. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
