PRAYER:

PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE YOU A PASSION FOR SERVING AND FAITHFULLY

ATTENDING YOUR LOCAL CHURCH.

DEVOTIONAL:

In our reading today, we see the people of Israel gathering together to hear Ezra read the Book of

the Law. Despite facing challenges, hardships, and many opportunities to use excuses as to why

they couldn't be there, the people were committed to coming together as a community to worship

and learn from God's Word. This gathering was a powerful reminder of the importance of

faithfully showing up to our local church, not just for our own spiritual growth, but to support

and encourage one another in our walk with God.

When we make the effort to show up to our local church regularly, we are not only strengthening

our own relationship with God, but we are also contributing to the unity and fellowship of the

body of Christ. Just as the Israelites gathered to hear the Word of God, we too can find

encouragement, guidance, and inspiration through worshipping and learning together as a

spiritual family

Question:

What is one way that you could better prioritize faithfully attending your local

church?
