Aisaia 42:16

Jesus has been shining His light into the world since time began. This 5-day devotion series, shared by The Lutheran Home Association’s chaplains, focuses how he shines light into our hearts. With God in our lives, we have everything we need to shine bright on even our darkest days.

Acts 28 might seem like the end, but it’s really just the beginning. 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. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

There are moments when we wish we knew exactly what to do. What decision should we make? Which direction should we choose? How can we move forward without getting it wrong? Psalm 32:8 reminds us of a reassuring promise: God wants to instruct, counsel, and guide those who turn to Him. In this plan, you will learn to seek His direction with confidence, listen for His voice, move forward even when everything is not clear, and remember that God keeps His loving eye on you.

We’ve all been there. Trying so hard to make the right decision that we freeze. Over analysis brings paralysis, and we just keep running the same tormenting thoughts over and over in our minds, unable to decide. These five devotionals can give you a new perspective and help you get unstuck so you can make the right God-decision for your life.
