Day 1: 

Scripture: Hebrews 7:24-25 – “but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

Reflection: Beloved, as we embark on today's devotional, let us anchor ourselves in the profound truth of Hebrews 7:24-25. Our Lord Jesus Christ, with a priesthood that is eternal, intercedes for us. This passage is a beacon of hope, for it assures us of the totality of our salvation in Christ. It is not partial, not tentative, but complete. Jesus' intercession is not a temporary assignment; it is His perpetual role, His eternal commitment to us. Reflect on the times when you felt alone or when the world's predictions and uncertainties threatened to overwhelm you. Remember, our Savior is advocating for us at this very moment. His intercession is a divine guarantee that we are never forsaken. In times of doubt, may this truth embolden you to approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing you are fully known and fully loved. Let us be encouraged by the steadfastness of our Savior and let the knowledge of His intercession lift our spirits and strengthen our resolve.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am grateful for Your unceasing intercession. Thank You for saving me completely and standing in the gap for me. Amen.

Day 2:

Scripture: John 17:1-5 – “After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: 'Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”

Reflection: Today, we delve into the heart of Jesus' prayer in John 17:1-5. Our Lord, on the brink of His ultimate sacrifice, seeks the Father's glorification, which in turn glorifies the Father Himself. This is the mystery and beauty of divine love. Jesus' request for glorification is not for vanity but for the completion of His redemptive work, that we might know God intimately. Eternal life, dear friends, is not merely a future promise but a present reality that begins the moment we come to know Jesus. Reflect on your own journey with Christ. Has it not been a transformative experience, moving from darkness into His marvelous light? Jesus' assurance of His predestined glorification gives us a model of confidence and hope in God's promises. Let us strive to emulate Jesus' obedience and faithfulness, knowing that our lives are meant to bring glory to God. May we also seek to know God more deeply each day, for in knowing Him, we find the essence of eternal life.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, may my life bring You glory as I grow in the knowledge of You and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Day 3:

Scripture: John 17:15-17 – “My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.”

Reflection: In the sanctuary of today's devotional, we are comforted by Jesus' prayer for our protection and sanctification in John 17:15-17. As we navigate through life, we are not isolated from the world's challenges; rather, we are shielded from the evil one. Sanctification is the process by which we are set apart for God's divine purpose, refined by the truth of His Word. Reflect on areas of your life that are being sanctified. Perhaps it is in your character, your relationships, or your service to others. This sanctification is not a burdensome task but a liberating journey towards Christlikeness. As we immerse ourselves in Scripture, let us allow the truth of God's Word to mold us, guide us, and protect us. May we live as those sanctified in Christ, set apart for His glory, and empowered to stand firm against the wiles of the enemy.

Prayer: Lord, sanctify me by Your truth; let Your Word be the foundation of my life and the shield against the evil one. Amen.
