5-Day Devotional (9/7/2025-9/13/2025)
Day 1: Encouraged by Divine Friendship
Reading: Acts 18:1-4, Proverbs 17:17
Devotional: Just as Paul found encouragement through his friendship with Aquila and Priscilla, God often provides us with Christ-centered relationships to uplift us. Reflect on the friendships in your life that draw you closer to God. How can you be that kind of friend to others? Consider reaching out to someone today to offer encouragement or support. Remember, the body of Christ is designed for mutual edification and love.
Day 2: Perseverance in Ministry
Reading: Acts 18:5-11, Galatians 6:9-10
Devotional: Paul's persistence in Corinth, despite initial resistance, reminds us that faithfulness is more important than immediate results. Are there areas in your life where you feel discouraged due to a lack of visible progress? Remember that God works on His own timeline. Take heart in knowing that your efforts, when aligned with God's will, are never in vain. Pray for renewed strength and commitment to the tasks God has given you.
Day 3: The Comfort of God's Presence
Reading: Acts 18:9-10, Isaiah 41:10
Devotional: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you." These words from God to Paul echo His promises throughout Scripture. In moments of fear or uncertainty, God's presence is our greatest comfort. Reflect on times when you've felt God's presence in difficult situations. How can you cultivate a deeper awareness of His constant companionship? Practice intentional moments of stillness today, acknowledging God's presence with you.
Day 4: Overcoming Opposition
Reading: Acts 18:12-17, Romans 8:31-39
Devotional: Paul faced opposition, yet God protected him and used even hostile situations for good. When we face adversity, it can actually reveal the power of the gospel at work in our lives. Consider current challenges you're facing. How might God be using these to strengthen your faith or witness? Pray for the courage to stand firm in your convictions and for wisdom to see God's hand at work in all circumstances.
Day 5: The Transformative Power of the Gospel
Reading: Acts 18:8, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Devotional: The conversion of Crispus and many Corinthians demonstrates the life-changing power of the gospel. This same power is at work in us today, continually transforming us into Christ's image. Reflect on how the gospel has changed your life. Are there areas where you still need to fully embrace its transformative power? Pray for a renewed commitment to living out the implications of the gospel in every aspect of your life, and for opportunities to share this good news with others.
