Day 129 · May 9

A devotional for today

Today’s readings

The Ark exposes the powerlessness of idols, and Samuel calls Israel to put away foreign gods and return wholeheartedly to the LORD.

Jesus feeds the multitude and walks on the sea, revealing authority over scarcity and chaos.

Israel forgets God, craves what He has not given, and repeatedly resists His ways.

Wisdom rests in an understanding heart; wickedness has no secure refuge.

Dagon falls before the LORD; storms and empty hands bow before Jesus. Our King is not threatened by what overwhelms us.

What fear or shortage am I treating as larger than Jesus?

Share one need and pray together instead of merely discussing it.

Jesus, You are Lord over my lack and my fear. Teach me to trust Your presence. Amen.

Bring one anxious need to Jesus before trying to control it.
