A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Israel returns from exile, but Saul’s story ends in tragedy because of persistent unfaithfulness.

The ship is lost, but every person survives just as God promised. Paul becomes a calm voice of faith in chaos.

Human beings seem small beneath creation, yet God gives them dignity and responsibility.

True friendship can be closer than family.

Saul shows the ruin of self-rule; Paul shows the steadiness of surrendered faith. Jesus is the faithful King we need.

Am I trying to rule my own life, or surrendering it to Jesus?

Who has been a faithful friend to you in a storm?

Faithful King, teach me to trust Your Word and encourage others when fear rises. Amen.

Be the calm, Christ-centered voice someone needs today.
