'Couldn't You Watch with Me?' — Mark 14:37
Then [Jesus] returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour?"
Key Thought
How this situation must have hurt the Lord. My heart breaks for Jesus as he endures this time in Gethsemane. He knows he is going to the cross. He knows Judas will betray him. He knows his closest followers will abandon him. He knows that Peter will deny him. He knows the other ten will run away and leave him alone. He knows that he will be ridiculed and mocked. Now, knowing all of those things, he still does not have anyone care for him enough to pray with him an hour. I'm so thankful that the Lord knows what it feels like to be forsaken and let down by those closest to you. I'm also so very sad for him. Let's pray and work to never let him down like this ever again.
Today's Prayer
O Father, I am so sorry! Please, dear Lord, make me stronger and more courageous. Don't ever let me outlive my love for you and my willingness to always show that love in my life. In Jesus' name. Amen.

“The unknown can become known through the revelation of God’s truth.”
Today’s daily devotional focuses on Paul’s experiences in Thessalonica and Athens. After being driven out of Thessalonica, Paul preached in Athens, using an altar to an "unknown god" to introduce the Athenians to the true God. This story highlights Paul’s dedication to spreading the gospel despite opposition.
SCRIPTURE
STORY
Have you ever encountered people who worship without truly knowing the God they seek?
Paul's journey to Thessalonica and Athens reveals how he used every opportunity, even amid opposition, to spread the gospel and make the unknown God known.
In Thessalonica, Paul’s teaching about Jesus led many to faith, but it also stirred anger among some Jews, leading to a violent mob seeking Paul’s life. This forced Paul, Silas, and Timothy to flee to Berea. Despite the danger, Paul continued his mission, demonstrating that true faith often requires courage and resilience.
How do you respond when faced with opposition or danger for your beliefs? Paul’s unwavering commitment to his mission inspires us to persevere in our faith and continue sharing the gospel, regardless of the challenges we face.
In Athens, Paul found a city full of idols. He addressed the Areopagus, seizing the opportunity to reveal the truth about the one true God using the Athenians' own altar to an "unknown god." This encounter teaches us that God’s presence can be found even among those who unknowingly seek Him.
Have you ever used a common cultural reference or situation to share the truth about God with others?
Paul’s message to the Athenians emphasizes the importance of pursuing a life that honors God, knowing that He is not far from each one of us. By living faithfully and sharing the gospel boldly, we can help others come to know the God they seek.
REFLECTION
This week, focus on being bold in your faith and seizing opportunities to share the message of Jesus. Spend time in prayer, asking God to give you courage and wisdom in your interactions with others.
Look for ways to honor God in your daily life and encourage others to seek Him. Embrace the example of Paul, who turned every encounter into an opportunity to reveal the unknown God to those who were seeking.
“You'll never see God's power until you start praying specifically.”
PRAYER
As I study the life of Paul I will be mindful to study his approach and how he reached the heart of those who believed differently than him. With the power of God, Paul delivered a masterpiece of a speech, he connected brilliantly with people from a different culture showing he understood Greek society and their human needs. In the same breath, I pray that You give me the same precision and tactfulness that Paul uses to reach the lost. In the same way allow me to speak with affirmation, familiarity, inclusive language, encouragement, and hope as I lead them to the unknown God that created the heavens and the Earth. Release in me the gifting of speech and communication on a level I’ve never known. I am a student and a servant first, therefore my mind is open and ready to receive all I need to grow! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

'Keep Alert!' — Mark 14:37-38
Key Thought
We so often underestimate our own weakness. We know what we want to do and be, but so often we fall far short of that. Our intentions are good, but our follow-through is flawed. Thank God for his grace; we can rely on the Holy Spirit to strengthen us and help us.
Today's Prayer
Father, I know that without the help of your Holy Spirit, I will fall way short of what I want to do and who I want to be. Please strengthen me with your might through your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father,
Help me to obey your word, not only in the presence of other followers of Christ but even more when they are absent, when there's no one there but me.
Be with me as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling, lest I should ever think that I have earned it. After all, it is you, dear God, who is at work within me, both causing me to do your good purpose and to purpose your good deeds.
In the name of Jesus, our star of hope. Amen.
