Thursday's Devo

Review highlights of the day, creating a word-picture of what you have experienced.
Ask:
 What is one image that stuck with you today? (something you saw)
 What is something you heard from stage that made you think?
 How does it feel to hear you are created and loved by God?

What are some things it means for a work of art, to be called a “living” thing?

Isaiah 43:1-3a, 5-7 (The Message)

But now, GOD’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One who got you started, Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am GOD, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. . . .
“So don’t be afraid: I’m with you. I’ll round up all your scattered children,
pull them in from east and west. I’ll send orders north and south: ‘Send them back.
Return my sons from distant lands, my daughters from faraway places.
I want them back, every last one who bears my name, every man, woman, and child
Whom I created for my glory, yes, personally formed and made each one.’”

What are some times/ways you feel God’s presence with you?

Remember that no matter what, God is with them.

Thank you God
for creating and claiming us in love.

Close by saying:
"You are a beloved child of God!
Sealed by the Holy Spirit!
Claimed as Christ's own forever, and
nothing anyone can ever say or do
can change that."
