Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Mark 5:24b-34

This story grips my heart. Though they are in the midst of a crowd, Jesus and this fragile woman have a very personal interaction. He feels her…He knows her …

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you.
Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
Mark 5:34 NIV

Write what strikes you most about the woman we meet in this passage.
Write what moves you about how Jesus interacts with her.
Where do you need healing? Pour yourself out before your healer. Jesus is there, just reach out and grab onto His cloak…

Jesus IS…Teacher

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
Matthew 5:1-12

Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain,
and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
And he opened his mouth and taught them…
Matthew 5:1,2ESV

For an interesting perspective try reading the Beatitudes in several different translations.
From a world-view the state of those who are blessed does not appear to be desirable. However, from a spiritual perspective they are close to God. Write each state and its spiritual blessing (example: Poor in spirit = kingdom of heaven).
Note how EVERY spiritual need is met in Christ.
You are told in Matthew 5:11 that you are blessed if you are hated for the sake of Christ. There are times I find it a great challenge to speak the truth in love. Write a prayer asking God to give you wisdom, strength and discernment to know when HE is calling you to share His truth.

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
John 14:1-14

There are many rooms in His Father’s House . He wants to share one with you!
Listen to His invitation…

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.”
John 14:6 ESV

Freedom from worry is a common theme in Jesus’ ministry. What does Jesus share with the disciples in John 14:1? Copy the verse.
What is the key to avoiding a troubled heart?
If you know Him, Jesus assures you that He will prepare a place for you in His Father’s house. What does He also promise?
Still Thomas doubts! Many people, like Thomas, wonder, “How can we know the way?” What is Jesus’ answer?
Again, Jesus goes on to emphasize His relationship to the Father. What do verses 9-12 explain about this connection?
Jesus explains why it is important to pray in His name. He also relays his purpose in answering prayer – what is it?
What can you do today to bring glory to God the Father (it can be as simple as pointing out His blessings, His creation, His provision in this day – or whatever He moves in your heart)?

Ask the Spirit to guide you as you read God’s word for today.
John 11:17-44

Jesus shows His humanity and love in these verses while also exhibiting His divine power.
Jesus said, …

“I am the resurrection and the life.
Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”
John 11:25,26 ESV

What does Jesus say is the key to the resurrection and the life?
How does Jesus explain resurrection?
Jesus shows His humanity as they are going to Lazarus’ tomb, what does he do?
Jesus experienced a human existence including emotions (Hebrews 4:14-16). Share what it means to you to have a Savior who can sympathize with your thoughts and emotions and loves you unconditionally?
Christ exhibits His power over death! He first thanks God and then says, “Lazarus come out.” What happens next?
Before Christ raises Lazarus, He asks Martha if she believes that He is “the resurrection and the life”. Jesus asks you the same question, “Do you believe this?” Write Him an answer…
