Devotional 3.27.26



March 27, 2026 – The Act of Communicating His Word – Serving Others

 

Psalm 68:19–20

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

 

Scripture Reading – Matthew 28:16-20, Matthew 25:31-46

 

Psalm 68 declares that God is not distant, He is actively saving, sustaining, and delivering His people. In Matthew 25, Jesus shows that this saving work has visible expression. Those who belong to Him care for the hungry, the stranger, and the hurting. In doing so, they reflect His heart and reveal His kingdom. Communicating the Word of God is not only spoken but also lived. As we proclaim the gospel to the world, our actions give credibility to our message. When we care for others, we demonstrate the reality of a God who saves and restores. The gospel we share is the same gospel we embody. As ambassadors of Christ, we are called to declare His salvation and display His compassion so that others may come to know Him.

 

The songs we sing shape how we understand and communicate the gospel. Hosanna (Praise Is Rising) calls us to lift our voices together, proclaiming the coming King. Jesus Strong and Kind reminds us that Christ invites the weak and weary, giving us a message of hope to share. Speak O Lord centers us on God’s Word, equipping us to communicate His truth faithfully. And How Deep the Father’s Love For Us anchors us in the depth of God’s love displayed through the cross. These songs teach us that the message we proclaim is rooted in God’s saving work, and they prepare our hearts to share that truth with both our words and our lives.

 

Further reading: Romans 10:14–15; 2 Corinthians 5:16–21; James 2:14–17

 

Reflection Questions:

1.     How can your actions help communicate the truth of the gospel to others? 

2.     Who in your life might need to both hear and see the love of Christ?

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for being my salvation and for caring for me daily. Help me to faithfully communicate Your Word through both my words and my actions. Give me eyes to see the needs around me and a heart that reflects Your compassion. Strengthen me to share the hope of the gospel with boldness and humility. May my life point others to You and display the love You have shown me. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Devotional 5.16.25

Yours, O Lord, Is the Kingdom   1 Chronicles 29:10-11 Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.   Scripture Reading: Psalm 70   Psalm 70 is a cry for urgent help: “Make haste, O God, to deliver me!” In contrast, 1 Chronicles 29 declares God’s eternal rule, power, and glory. Together, they reveal two essential truths of faith: God is both near to the needy and exalted above all. We pray for deliverance while praising His unshakable sovereignty. David, in his final prayer, praised the Lord not for personal blessing, but for God’s eternal kingship and majesty. When we feel weak and desperate like the psalmist, we look up and remember the greatness of our God and His amazing love demonstrated in sending Jesus Christ (John 3:16; R...

Devotional 9.5.25

Forgiven and Victorious in Christ 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.   Scripture Reading – Psalm 86   Confession is not about wallowing in guilt—it’s about running to the God who is rich in mercy. Psalm 86 reminds us that God is “good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon him.” When we confess, we’re not hoping for forgiveness but claiming the forgiveness already secured in Christ. God’s justice demands sin be dealt with, and in Jesus it has been fully satisfied. The promise of 1 John 1:9 assures us that confession is always met with cleansing, not condemnation. Like the psalmist, we can call upon the Lord with confidence, knowing that He not only hears us but delights to show mercy. Confession restores intimacy with God and renews joy in His steadfast love. Worship often helps us grasp truths Scripture declares.  You’ve Already Won  reminds us that th...

Our Future Hope    John 14:1–3 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.   Scripture Reading – Psalm 84   Jesus comforts His disciples by promising them a place in His Father’s house. This assurance reminds us that no matter how unsettled or uncertain life feels, our true home is secure in Him. Psalm 84 echoes this longing: “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” The psalmist celebrates the joy of God’s presence, where even the sparrow finds a home. Together, these passages show us that the Christian life is not about striving to belong in this world but about resting in the promise of Christ’s eternal dwelling place. A reminder that life with Jesus starts now and lasts forever. Our hea...
