We encourage you to read this devotion three times a
day. Start in the morning and reflect upon the morning reflection
question. Then in the afternoon, read it again and reflect using the noon
question for reflection. For the evening, take time to ponder how this
has resonated with you in the day and reflecting using the evening
question. We offer a prayer with each devotion for you to pray or we
invite you to pray what is in your heart.
Psalm 22:24-31
24For he did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted; he did not hide his face from me,
but heard when I cried to him.25From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I
will pay before those who fear him.26The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall
praise the LORD. May your hearts live forever!27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn
to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.28For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.29To him, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and I shall live for him.30Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord,31and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it.

What do you proclaim with how you live? Do your actions and the way you speak proclaim the love of God?

How you respond to situations, difficulties, and normalcy says something with how much God is a part of your life. Do we want God’s love to fill every aspect of our lives, or just when we feel it is convenient? Let us be bold in how we proclaim the love of God. Let us live with courage and advance forward what the
