May 4-10, 2025
Considering that we recently celebrated Easter, let us reflect on the impact of Jesus’ sacrifice through the freedom His right standing followers receive through His death, burial, and resurrection. Having been released from the things that once held us captive like shame, fear, legalism and condemnation, spiritual freedom can be enjoyed each day.
This week's Bible reading: Galatians 5
Focus Verses: Galatians 5:1
Focus Theme: Freedom from Shame
Day 1: Isaiah 61:10 – “He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness…”. What labels have you accepted that God never gave you?
Day 2: 1 John 1:9 – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us...”. What are you holding on to that He already washed away?
Day 3: Genesis 50:20 – “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good…”. What part of your story do you need to surrender to God for healing and purpose?
Day 4: Romans 8:1 – “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”. What lies have you believed about yourself that you need to unlearn?
Day 5: Psalm 34:5 – “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.”. Where have you been hiding because of sin and what step can you take toward freedom today?
