Devotional — Rise and Walk

Monday — The Gospel is the whole way

Key Verse: Romans 1:16

Reflection:

The Gospel is not only the beginning of faith, but the complete journey. When we drift away from it, faith becomes heavy. Returning to the Gospel is returning to the center of God’s purpose.

Practical Application:

Reflect on whether your faith has felt light or heavy.

Pray asking that the Gospel return to the center of your heart.

Read Romans 1:16 out loud.

Prayer:

Lord, bring the Gospel back to the center of my life. Amen.

Tuesday — Aligned heart

Key Verse: Revelation 2:4

Reflection:

It is possible to be active in church and still be misaligned. Jesus seeks passionate hearts, not just busy hands.

Practical Application:

Evaluate whether you are busy or aligned.

Ask God for realignment.

Prioritize relationship over activity.

Prayer:

Father, align my heart with Yours. Amen.

Wednesday — Rise up

Key Verse: Proverbs 24:16

Reflection:

Falling is part of the journey, but staying on the ground is not. God expects perseverance, not perfection.

Acknowledge where you fell.

Decide not to remain on the ground.

Take one step back today.

Prayer:

Lord, I choose to rise by Your grace. Amen.

Thursday — No condemnation

Key Verse: Romans 8:1

Reflection:

Shame and guilt do not come from God. He calls us back even in pieces.

Father, I receive Your love and reject condemnation. Amen.

Friday — First love

Thank Him for this love.

Lord, thank You for Your love that sustains me. Amen.
