JOHN HAGEE DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
John Hagee Daily Devotional 30 December 2023, Saturday Devotional Message. As you study today’s devotional, remember this; “Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (NLT)
Today’s Scripture
So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
John 20:21
Have you committed to any New Year’s resolutions? Have you vowed to break a habit or initiate a healthy one? Our natural inclination is to get stuck in Neutral.
In our overcrowded lives, we assume that someone else will do what God actually is calling us to do. Someone else will witness to a neighbor or volunteer at a shelter or pray with a co-worker.
The Bystander Effect – a social psychological phenomenon – indicates that individuals fail to offer help when other people are present. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely any of them will help. Everyone waits for someone else to come to the aid of the victim.
For someone in your life right now, you are God’s Plan A. Most likely, He is prompting you to do something you have not done before, to stretch beyond what is comfortable. Jesus is counting on you to listen to His voice, to obey His prompting, and to reach out to meet the need. He created you for this moment, this good work that He ordained, to be the answer to someone’s prayer.
Have you asked God to reveal your 2024 mission? All around us, people need a Savior. And YOU are Plan A for at least one of them. How will you resolve to intentionally serve Jesus and others in the new year?
Blessing
Heavenly Father, here I am. Send me. Help me get past my excuses in 2024. Let me be quick to answer and quick to fulfill the mission to which You are calling me. In Jesus’ name and for His glory…amen.
