DEVOTIONAL:
MAIN SCRIPTURE: Acts 16:30-31 (NLT) 30 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”
Imagine being a lighthouse in the middle of a stormy sea, guiding ships safely to shore. That’s what your life can be. A beacon of hope lighting the way for those lost in life's storms. The story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16 is a perfect example of this. Shackled in prison, instead of complaining, they sang hymns and prayed. The jailer, was impacted by their unwavering faith, found salvation through Jesus Christ. Just like the jailer, people around you are watching how you respond to life's challenges. Your persistent hope and trust in God can be the light that leads them to transformation.
Paul and Silas were in a desperate situation, but they chose to focus on God. Their actions spoke louder than their circumstances, and because of their remarkable faith, not only were they set free, but the jailer and his family were also saved. Your life carries the same potential! Every trial you have overcome, every challenge where you have seen God’s hand, these are the testimonies that can inspire change in others.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, I desire to be a living testament of Your incredible grace, boundless love, and life-changing power. May my life serve as a beacon that guides others out of darkness and into Your marvellous light. Use my experiences, the good and the bad, to demonstrate Your love and faithfulness. I want to be a vessel that brings others closer to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
