October 9th, 2026 Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time. Reading: **1 Corinthians 11** 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. **Communion looks backward and forward at the same time. We remember what Jesus has done, but we also anticipate the day when He will return and complete His work of salvation. We live in the “in-between”—Jesus has saved us, but we are still waiting for everything to be made right. When we take communion, we proclaim His death until He comes. It is a meal of remembrance, but it is also a meal of hope.** **What part of Jesus’ promised return and restoration gives you the most hope?** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. 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). 2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Jesus, help me live with hope as I wait for Your return. Keep my heart focused on the day when You will make all things right. Help me live faithfully in the meantime, remembering what You have done and trusting what You will do.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Faith Step:** Spend a few minutes today imagining the hope of Jesus making all things right, and let that hope shape one decision you make today.
