Monday: Embracing the Journey

Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4

Devotional: Reflect on Abram's call from God to leave everything familiar behind without knowing the exact details of his journey. Consider how God often calls us to step out in faith without providing the full roadmap. Abram's journey began with a simple act of obedience, trusting that God would guide him along the way.

Reflection Questions:

1. What thoughts or emotions arise when you think about embarking on a journey without all the details?

2. Have there been times in your life when you felt God was calling you to step out in faith? What held you back, or what enabled you to move forward?

Additional Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-10

Tuesday: Finding Blessings in the Unknown

Scripture: Psalm 119:105

Devotional: God's word is described as a lamp to our feet, providing just enough light for the next step. This teaches us that faith is often about trusting God in the unknown and taking one step at a time. In this way, blessings are discovered not just in the destination but in the journey itself.

Reflection Questions:

1. How do you rely on God's word as a guide in your daily life?

2. What is a small step you can take today, trusting God even when you don’t see the whole picture?

Additional Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6

Wednesday: The Blessing of Being a Blessing

Scripture: Genesis 12:2-3

Devotional: God promised Abram that not only would he be blessed, but he would be a blessing to others. Our journeys of faith are not just about personal growth but about how we can impact the world around us with God’s love and grace.

Reflection Questions:

1. Who in your life needs the blessing of your faith journey today?

2. How can you extend God’s love and grace to someone in your community this week?

Additional Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16

Thursday: Trusting God in the Detours

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-8

Devotional: Isaiah responded to God’s call with “Here I am,” even before knowing the specifics of the mission. This reflects a heart willing to serve and follow where God leads, trusting that God’s plans are perfect even when they require us to detour from our plans.

Reflection Questions:

1. What keeps you from saying, “Here I am, Lord”?  

2. Consider a time when your plans didn’t work out as expected. How did you see God’s hand in the detours?

Additional Scripture: Romans 8:28

 
Friday: Becoming Through the Journey

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17

Devotional: Our journeys are not just about reaching a destination but about who we are becoming in the process. God uses every step of our faith journey to transform us more into Christ’s image. The changes within us are as significant as the accomplishments we achieve.

Reflection Questions:

1. In what ways has your faith journey transformed you?

2. How can you embrace the changes God is making in you, even when they are challenging?

Additional Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23
