Christ Lives in You

End your day meditating on the unparalleled might of God. 

“The glory of God is a human fully alive.” This is a paraphrase of something an early church Father wrote, and it sounds inspiring! We go through our lives often wishing there was more. Let’s explore what it means to step into the abundant life God offers, by considering a very famous speech from Acts 17 that’s full of some pretty surprising and often humorous moments. And through this, we will discover what it looks like to walk through life with God, and become more fully alive.

Reflect on the way God’s creation reveals His deep love for you. 

Find strength and endurance in God’s restoring presence.

Draw near to the love and welcome of Jesus, no matter what is on your heart. He will receive you and restore you.

As followers of Jesus, hope isn’t a foreign concept. But we also know that Jesus said that a life following him wasn’t going to be easy – we’d face troubles, difficulties, and challenges. What do we do when they hit? How can we have hope, when life around us may seem hopeless?

Settle your heart with Jesus’ strength and steadfastness as you enjoy reflecting on Mark 5.

Entrust whatever season you are going through to God tonight, receiving His peace and comfort.

Enjoy a restful moment of confidence and joy in the presence of your heavenly Father.
