Fulfilling Life Daily Devotional

Rest! - Luke 1:23

Taking a rest is hugely important as we live our Christian faith out. In today's verse we see that Zechariah served in the temple for a week and went on to rest. We all need to rest, so we don't burn ourselves out.

Faith Equals Evidence - Hebrews 11:1

Our faith isn't a physical thing that can be held or seen. As the writer of Hebrews tells us 'our faith is the reality of what we hope for, it is the evidence of things we cannot see.'

Ask Jesus First - John 6:7

Just before Jesus feed the 5000, He asked Philip a question. Philip answered from a very worldly point of view, rather than trusting that Jesus was going to do something amazing! We need to turn to Jesus straight away, when things are beyond us!

Different Clothes - Colossians 3:12

We are holy people, children of God. We must clothe ourselves not with the clothes of the world but of our faith and show the world Christ through our mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Be Obedient - Matthew 21:6

Two disciples of Jesus, did what He commanded they even though it was a strange mission. But Jesus explained exactly what they should do and what would happen. It was easy for them to be obedient when the Lord asked.

We Are Not Alone! - John 16:32

Jesus told the disciples that they would leave Him but even though they did this, He was not alone because His Father was with Him, as He is with us.

Jesus Was Angry! - Mark 3:5

People hated Jesus and made ways to catch Him out. He was angry with them because their hearts were hard. They would rather get Him than let Him heal a man and give his life back, no wonder he was (righteously) angry with them!

Do Good Work - 1 Peter 3:13

When we do good for others as Christians, those looking on will have a range of opinions. Some will hate us for doing good, others will be intrigued as to why we are doing it and ask us questions. Whatever peoples reactions, we must do this for God's glory.

We Are One Body - Romans 12:5

We are the body of Christ, we all have different functions but we are all equally as important to each other to function well. We should never think that we are better than other parts of the body!

Don't Flatter Me! - Proverbs 28:23

If we want to improve in whatever we do, we need people to help us by giving us honest criticism through love. We don't need people to flatter us all of the time because that will get us nowhere in the end!
