Day 465 – Luke 22:40
On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” Luke 22:40, NIV After the last supper, Jesus and His disciples went to mount olives. There, He reminded them to keep praying. Let’s also do the same thing. Remember that temptations are all around us. The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. He would tempt us to do things that would keep us away from God. And the best way for us to fight those negative thoughts is to pray. Let’s surrender our lives to God and allow Him to reign in our lives. Let’s ask for His guidance and remember that only…

Day 464 – Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. Luke 22: 32, NIV Jesus said these words to Simon during the last supper. Before He was arrested, He gathered His disciples and tried to encourage them. He knew that Simon, who is also known as Peter, would betray Him. Imagine the person who’s always been with Him throughout the ministry will deny him in front of people. But despite this painful thing that Simon would do, Jesus still prayed for him, that he would turn back and strengthen his brothers. Our Savior believed that Peter would still…

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Luke 21: 33, nIV Jesus was sharing with His disciples the things that would happen when He returns here on earth.

Day 462 – Luke 21: 17-19
Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life. Luke 21: 17-19, NIV Following Jesus can be challenging. Many times, we will go through challenges that will test our faith in Him. Many people will hate the way we behave and think. Our days won’t always be smooth and fair. But let’s not remember what our loving Savior said. He will stay with us. Not a hair of our head will perish. That’s why we need to stand firm despite all the difficulties we face. He holds the victory. In Him, we find enough strength and…

Day 461 – Luke 21: 4
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Luke 21: 4, NIV Jesus saw a rich man and a poor widow offering gifts to the temple treasury. Then as He observed both of them, He said that the poor widow put in more treasures than the others even though she only put in two very small copper coins. And the reason is the rich man gave out of their wealth, but the widow put in all she had to live on. She offered greater sacrifice than the others. You see, God is not looking…

Day 460 – Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10, NIV Jesus came into this world to save those who were lost. He is looking for them. And just like everyone else, we also experience moments in life when we feel so lost and broken. That’s when He continuously pursues us with His love and grace. We are all sinners who badly need God’s mercy and forgiveness. We don’t have the right to condemn other people. Just because their sins appear so evident in your eyes doesn’t mean you can treat them as if they are strangers. Jesus wants to save them. If you want…

Day 459 – Luke 18:42
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you. Luke 18: 42, NIV A blind man called out to Jesus and asked Him to bring back his sight. And Jesus opened his eyes again and told him about his faith. At some point, we are also like this blind man. There are limitations and pain in our lives that we wanted to be healed and restored. There are things that we can’t do without Him. So just like what the blind man did, may we learn to call upon His name and ask for His mercy. May we have the kind of faith that will lead us…

Day 458 – Luke 18: 22
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Luke 18: 22, nIV A rich man asked Jesus about the things He needed to do so that He could inherit eternal life, then Jesus answered that He needed to follow the commandments. The man claimed that He had already followed them. And so, our loving Savior asked Him to sell everything and give it to the poor. But the rich man felt sad upon hearing His answer. You see, sometimes we find it hard to give…

Day 457 – Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. Luke 18:17, NIV You will never experience what it feels like to live in the Kingdom of Heaven if you don’t receive it like a little child. Kids are innocent and pure. Their eyes know how to appreciate the little yet amazing things around them. They take what they experience as it is, and they rarely have doubts and disbelief. You will also learn what true humility is if you try to observe their ways. They are dependent, and they need someone who can guide and lead them. They…

Day 456 – Luke 17:6
He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. Luke 17: 6, NIV Faith can help you do things outside your comfort zone. It can take you to places you’ve never been before. It can lead you to experience breakthroughs and complete joy. Your little faith can already make a big impact in your life. It can transform you from the inside out. You will experience impossible things as long as you keep your faith in Him. Sometimes, it’s not an easy thing to do, especially when you…
