May 29-30

Morning

Study It

Read Ephesians 6:10-20. How does this passage point me to the gospel? How does Jesus bring life and hope to broken sinners like me? How can I respond?

Meditation and Prayer

Meditate on Psalm 78:65-66: “Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a strong man shouting because of wine. And he put his adversaries to rout; he put them to everlasting shame.”

Respond: “Father, thank you that you will one day defeat all that is evil and broken in the world, including _____________.” (repeat for as many things as come to mind)

Midday

Worship and Silence

Worship along with this song. Spend a few minutes after in silence.

“I’ve found this song to minister to me as I see so many Christians turning to anger and power politics in order to maintain control over our society. Where is grace and love and mercy? Where is compassion and prayer for people? This song just voices a lot of my frustrations well and turns my heart toward God who is the King of Kings.” – Rich (have a worship song to share? Send it to us with a note on why it is meaningful to you.

Daily Offices

Feel free to customize this daily devotional time. Do not feel bad if you miss offices. Start where you are and just seek God. When we do this with others it is a simple way for us to walk together with God.

Study It. Read the passage and answer the questions. This passage will be used this coming Sunday at your Intentional Community.
Meditation and Prayer. Biblical meditation is the practice of filling (instead of emptying) our minds with what God has said. Repeat the passage over and over in your mind emphasizing different parts. We respond to what God is telling us with prayer. This practice helps you to start your day with God starting the conversation. He is the King of Kings, not our on-call butler. He cares deeply about what we need and want, but let’s hear from him first and then respond.
Worship and Silence. God uses artistic expression to help us connect our hearts and emotions to his truth. In our noisy world it is easy to not practice times of intentional silence. Think about the truth expressed in the worship song. Psalm 62:5: For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.
Consume It. We can’t just go deep in study of scripture, we should also consume as much as we can to help us see the big picture of God’s story.
Prayer of thanks. Think through your day and thank God for everything he brings to mind. Thankfulness can change our attitude and perspective upward. Psalm 100:4: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
Pray for one another. Ephesians 6:18: praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.
