Isaiah 44:18-19

God’s ways are not our ways. He does not adjust His ways over time nor accommodate them to our feelings or preferences. But He is willing to reveal them to us. They are found in His Word, and they haven’t changed. Never be satisfied merely seeing the acts of God. In this five-day devotional by Richard Blackaby, explore Scripture to move from seeing God’s actions to being intimately familiar with His ways.

This 5-day plan continues a journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. Acts 19 brings us to Ephesus, where we see the way of Christ resisted by a spiritually confused world. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

The Bible has a lot to say about idolatry. In the 21st century, there are many things competing with God for our attention and worship. This 5-day plan will help readers gain a biblical understanding and perspective of idolatry, apply it to their lives, and prepare them to share this learning with others.

When we deeply accept our Father’s embrace, we will be neither self- rejecting nor prideful; rather, we will become humble and grateful. When we see ourselves as God sees us, we find true freedom. This plan uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to reveal how God's love can change you. Part 1 starts with the son realm of the parable.
