Day 428 – Luke 9:20
“But what about you? he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Luke 9: 20, NIV Jesus asked this question to His disciples. He wanted to know who He was in their eyes. The disciples answered according to what they saw and heard. And Peter answered that He is God’s messiah. How about you? Who do you think Jesus is? Do you believe with all your heart that He is your savior and He saved you from the fires of hell? You will hear many things about who Jesus is, but what matters most is how you know Him. And you can only describe who He is in your heart…

Day 427 – Luke 8:50
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” Luke 8: 50, NIV Jairus went to Jesus to ask for some help. His only daughter was dying, and He was begging our savior to heal her. While they were on their way, someone from the house of Jairus informed them that his daughter was dead. And that’s when Jesus assured Him that He would heal her daughter. Just like Jairus, we also go through moments when we feel so worried and devastated because of the people we love. But instead of carrying the burden on your own, go to Jesus and ask for His…

Day 426 – Luke 8:48
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Luke 8: 48, NIV Jesus healed a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. Her faith caused her to experience the miracle that she’s been waiting for. Our Savior didn’t notice her at first, but He felt the Holy Spirit moving, and it’s all because the woman believed with all her heart that Jesus could heal her. This is a great reminder for us to believe in the power of Jesus. We may sometimes think that there is no hope left, but just like the bleeding woman, choose to receive the healing that God prepared…

Day 425 – Luke 8:28
When He saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of His voice, “What do you what with me, Jesus, Son of the most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” Luke 8:28, NIV When the demon saw our Savior, he felt scared and even cried out to Him. He begged Jesus not to torture him. He knows who Jesus is and what He can do to him. This is how powerful Jesus is. The enemy is scared of Him. So when you think that the devil is trying to disturb you, then call upon the name of your Savior and let Him…

Day 424 – Luke 8:24-25
The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.” Luke 8: 24-25, nIV Jesus can rebuke the wind and the surging waves. He can make it calm again. So when you go through storms in life, don’t focus on what is happening around you. Instead, remind yourself of who God is. The disciples were scared because they…

Day 423 – Luke 8:23
As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. Luke 8:23, NIV Jesus fell asleep in the middle of the storm. At that moment, He had just finished ministering to the people, and He took some time to rest. While He was having His nap, His disciples, on the other hand, felt worried and afraid because of the strong winds. Many times in our lives, we can also relate to what the disciples experienced. We easily feel scared by the unexpected circumstances around us that we can no longer activate our faith. Instead…

Day 419 – Luke 8:16
No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. Luke 8:16, NIV If you know that Jesus is in you, then you are a bearer of His light. Don’t hesitate to share that light, especially with those who are in pain and broken. Go and let Him shine in the dark places. Don’t hide Him inside. You are meant to share the blessings that you received from Him. Expose His goodness and love. Keep doing the right thing, and one day, people will feel…

Day 416 – Luke 7:16
They were all filled with awe and praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people. Luke 7:16, NIV This happened when Jesus brought a dead man to life. After such a miracle, the people were in awe of what they experienced and couldn’t help but praise Him. Because of what Jesus did, they realized that God had come to help His people. You see, He is concerned for our welfare. God cares for us more than we care for ourselves.

You will Thrive the moment you stop relying on your Own Strength
Do you want to survive? Then stop looking at your weaknesses or even rely on your own strength. What you have inside is not enough.

The victory lies not according to your own efforts but it’s all about your faith in Him. You need to learn how to surrender. Give up the things that you can’t control and allow Him to take over. Stop carrying the burdens on your own. You can never arrive to the place that God prepared for you if you keep on fighting…

Day 414 – Luke 6:46
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Luke 6:46, NIV Sometimes, we only know God’s name, but we never really know what it means to follow Him. Calling Him “Lord” means that we acknowledge His sovereignty in our lives. His authority will give us the motivation to do what is right. If we truly honor His name, it means that we choose to obey His words and follow Him even in the midst of struggles and pain. If we make Him the ruler of our lives, we also put His will above our plans and desires. Let’s not take our faith lightly. Walking…
