A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Judges closes in moral chaos, but Ruth begins with one woman's costly loyalty to Naomi and a return to Bethlehem.

Jesus crosses social barriers to meet a Samaritan woman. He exposes her thirst and offers living water, then reveals Himself as Messiah.

Remember God's covenant faithfulness and tell others what He has done.

A truthful witness can save lives; falsehood destroys.

Ruth moves toward Bethlehem in faithful love; the Samaritan woman meets the One who can satisfy the deepest thirst of every heart.

What am I asking people, possessions, or circumstances to give me that only Jesus can provide?

Ask someone: 'Where are you thirsty for God right now?' Listen without fixing.

Jesus, give me living water. Satisfy my heart and make me a truthful witness to Your grace. Amen.

Offer Christ's kindness across one social boundary.
