DAY 5 OF 28

I always try to study for classes but sitting down and reading a book seems impossible when there is always something fun to do instead! This didn’t help me to take the Bible seriously especially when it felt like a textbook. A mentor challenged me to memorize some verses one day, and I was excited about it! I memorized Ephesians 1:1-2 even though I thought it wouldn’t be very useful.

A few weeks later a friend said something to me that made me so mad I couldn’t even respond! Quickly they apologized and I was about to let out my anger toward them, but something stopped me: Paul’s words. Instead of getting mad, I remembered how Paul talked to people who also made mistakes. I spoke to them with love because I was reminded that this person was someone God has given grace and peace to and I should love them as God loves them. If God can forgive them, can’t I?

I realized then, not only is God’s Word relevant to my life, but God also uses Scripture to help me to become more like Christ.

Today, try to memorize today’s devotional verse! Remember, Scripture is full of encouraging and helpful stories and words that can be relevant to your day-to-day life.
