A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Warriors cry out to God in battle, while the Levites are set apart for worship and service. Strength and worship both belong under God.

Paul tells Agrippa how the risen Jesus changed his life and commissioned him to open eyes and turn people from darkness to light.

David cries for mercy in weakness and trusts God to hear.

Our words bear fruit; speech can nourish or wound.

Paul’s testimony has one center: Jesus met him. The gospel turns people from darkness to light and from the power of sin toward God.

What would I say if someone asked how Jesus has changed me?

Practice telling your Jesus story simply and without exaggeration.

Lord Jesus, let my words point people from darkness to Your light. Amen.

Use your words to give life today.
