5 Day Devotional for Backside of Calvary pt 2
Day 1: The Healing Power of Christ's Sacrifice
Reading: Isaiah 53:4-5 and 1 Peter 2:24
Devotional: Today, we reflect on the profound truth that Jesus bore our sins and our sicknesses on the cross. His sacrifice was not just for our spiritual redemption, but also for our physical healing. As you meditate on these verses, consider the completeness of Christ's work. How does knowing that Jesus took your infirmities and carried your diseases change your perspective on your current challenges? Take time to thank God for His all-encompassing sacrifice and invite His healing presence into every area of your life - body, mind, and spirit.
Day 2: Faith That Moves Mountains
Reading: Mark 2:1-12
Devotional: The story of the paralytic man being lowered through the roof demonstrates extraordinary faith. Jesus saw their faith and responded with both forgiveness and healing. Today, examine your own faith. Are there areas in your life where you need to exercise bold, roof-breaking faith? Remember, Jesus is concerned with both your spiritual and physical well-being. Pray for increased faith to believe for the impossible, and for the courage to bring others to Jesus, just as the friends did for the paralytic man.
Day 3: God as Our Divine Physician
Reading: Exodus 15:22-26
Devotional: In this passage, God reveals Himself as Jehovah Rapha - the Lord who heals. Reflect on how God turned bitter waters sweet, symbolizing His power to transform our difficult circumstances. Just as He provided for the Israelites, He desires to be your healer and provider. What "bitter waters" in your life do you need God to make sweet? Invite Jehovah Rapha to work in your life, trusting that He can heal not just physical ailments, but emotional and spiritual wounds as well.
Day 4: Breaking Free from Bondage
Reading: Luke 13:10-17
Devotional: The story of the woman bound for 18 years reminds us that sometimes our infirmities can be spiritual in nature. Jesus saw her, called her forward, and set her free. Today, consider what might be binding you. Are there spiritual, emotional, or physical issues that have held you captive? Remember, as a child of God, you have the right to be loosed from these bonds. Pray for discernment to recognize areas of bondage in your life, and for the faith to receive your freedom in Christ.
Day 5: Standing Firm in God's Promises
Reading: Romans 8:11 and Galatians 3:13-14, 29
Devotional: These powerful verses remind us of our position in Christ and the promises available to us as children of Abraham. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, bringing life to your mortal body. Meditate on what it means to be an heir according to the promise. How does this identity impact your daily life and your approach to challenges? Today, stand firm on God's promises, declaring His Word over your circumstances. Remember, you are not merely hoping to receive healing or blessings - in Christ, you are defending what is already yours.
