Atos 11:30

For much of the world's population, disasters are part of life. Some make the international news headlines, but many don't. Perhaps, you're facing a disaster that has hit your community. In the aftermath, hope can be hard to find. YouVersion partner Tearfund is an aid agency that responds to disasters.

God is on the move. Never tied down, God leads from new places. This 5-day plan is designed to help you discern God-on-the-move, and how to respond. It 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. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Are there areas of your life that are in turmoil? Are you facing threats beyond your control, or seeking clarity in God’s Word? Each moment of vulnerability is also an opportunity for obedience, trust, and prayer. This devotional invites you to bring your struggles, fears, and unanswered questions before God with honesty and courage.

This devotional examines God’s attitude toward lack and the believer’s responsibility in responding to it. Scripture reveals that lack is not God’s intention, poverty is not a measure of spiritual worth, and generosity is central to Christian life. Drawing from Eden, Christ’s ministry, the early church, and apostolic teaching, we learn that God responds to lack with provision, dignity, action, responsibility, and grace—and calls His people to mirror His response faithfully.
