Scripture Reading: John 10:10 (KJV)
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
Devotional:
In John 10:10, Jesus promises an abundant life, contrasting His intentions with those of the thief, who seeks to bring us down. Jesus' abundant life isn't necessarily about material wealth or a problem-free existence but about a deeply fulfilled spiritual life. In accepting His grace and guidance, we find purpose and peace amidst life's challenges.
Reflection:
Consider the areas where you feel the "thief" is trying to steal your joy. Are you chasing temporary pleasures or resting in the eternal promises of Christ?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the abundant life You provide through Your Son. Help me to recognize and reject the lies of the thief. Teach me to live in Your light and grace every day. Amen.
Action:
Identify one area where you feel burdened. Consciously surrender it to God today, asking Him to fill you with His peace and wisdom.
