The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Two

DAY 1 OF 29

Instructions for Daily Reading

Each day as you engage the Scripture, we recommend following this pattern of devotional reading.

[Take a brief moment of silence to quiet your heart.] 
 
1. Read the Scripture aloud. 
2. Seek out where King Jesus is at work in the Scripture. 
3. Pray over the Scripture. 
4. Discern how this Scripture impacts your life. 
 
[Demonstrate loyalty to Jesus in one tangible way today.] 

Daily Reflection: The story of the woman with the issue of blood is one of the most profoundly insightful accounts of the heart of Jesus. At this moment, Jesus is on his way to help Jairus’ daughter when he is met with a woman desperate for his healing touch. This woman takes matters into her own hands by pursuing Jesus – even if it means just touching his garment. In a single moment, just a quick touch to his clothing freed her from suffering. Interestingly, Jesus did not respond with apprehension but was instead inspired by her faith. So what does he do? He leaves her with peace and freedom. In other words, Christ’s desire is for his family to receive healing on more levels than we even know to ask him to heal.

Daily Demonstration: If there is one thing that we know to be true of life, it is this: you don’t have to manufacture suffering. Live a day in this world, and somehow you will be exposed to at least the potential of hurts and trials. Today, seek after Christ to find healing in some of the most vulnerable areas of your life. Keep your eyes and ears open, however, and don’t be shocked if he provides more than you even knew to ask him to heal!

About this Plan

The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Two

The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
