A devotional for today

Today’s readings

• Old Testament: 1 KINGS 11:1-12:19
• New Testament: ACTS 9:1-25
• Psalm: PSALM 131:1-3
• Proverb: PROVERBS 17:4-5

Old Testament

Solomon’s loves turn his heart toward idols, and the kingdom begins to tear apart. Rehoboam’s harshness accelerates the division. Human wisdom without faithful obedience collapses.

New Testament

Saul meets the risen Jesus on the Damascus road. The persecutor becomes a preacher: Jesus is the Son of God. Grace does not merely improve Saul; it redirects his entire life.

Psalm

The quiet soul rests in God rather than demanding greatness.

Proverb

Humility quiets the soul. We do not need to make ourselves great.

Discover

Solomon’s kingdom fractures; Saul’s old life is shattered by grace. Jesus can turn an enemy into a witness.

Reflect

What part of my old life still needs to surrender to the risen Christ?

Fellowship

Share one place in today’s reading where you saw Jesus more clearly. Then discuss the reflection question together.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, keep my eyes on You and shape my life by Your Word. Holy Spirit, give me grace to trust, obey, and follow You today. Amen.

Live

Remember who you were without Christ and thank Him for grace. Lord Jesus, help me not only to know Your Word but to live it. Transform my heart so that my life reflects You more each day.
