Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Matthew 5:14–16, Philippians 2:14–16
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
You were never meant to blend in—you were made to shine. As followers of Jesus, we carry His light into workplaces, schools, and homes. Every act of kindness, integrity, and truth-telling reflects His presence in us.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Jesus, help me to live boldly as Your light. Let my actions and words draw others to Your love and truth.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Do one intentional act of love or service in a place where you usually feel unseen or unnoticed.
- Share a testimony or encouraging word with someone who may need hope today.
