Acts 2:47
…all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

The first followers of Jesus lived with life-changing devotion. Their faith wasn't casual; it was continual. Every day, in homes and public spaces, they gathered to pray, share meals, and remember what Jesus had done for them. Their devotion didn't just shape their Sundays; it transformed their every day.

Just like the apostles in Acts, God invites us to live with that same rhythm of remembrance and devotion. It's in the ordinary moments, like sharing a meal, praying with a friend, or serving someone in need, that we reflect the extraordinary love of Jesus.

As you reflect this week, ask God to renew your devotion. Let your everyday habits reflect those of the apostles. Devote yourself to Jesus' teachings by focusing your prayers, gratitude, and worship on him, and let them be daily reminders of his presence and purpose.

Because the same Spirit that empowered the early church is still at work in us today, inviting us to live with life-changing devotion.

Prayer:
Lord, thank you for your sacrifice and for the hope of your return. Help me live with a devotion that reflects your love in everything I do. Let my life declare your goodness until the day you come again. I love you, I trust you, and I worship you. Amen.

Series Theme Verse:
Colossians 1:6
This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
