Just One Day - Day 4 of 5

Five-day devotional based on the message, "The Power of One Prayer" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on July 27, 2025. Click here to watch the message.

Devotional:
Continuing in faith when others are upset requires resilience and confidence in God’s purpose. The actions of the paralyzed man’s friends were disruptive, yet they pressed on because they knew the importance of bringing their friend to Jesus. In our journeys, others may not always understand or support our faith-driven actions. Stand firm in your convictions, knowing that obedience to God is paramount, even amidst criticism.

Bible Verse:
“But the Pharisees and teachers of religious law said to themselves, ‘Who does he think he is? That’s blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!'” — Luke 5:21

Sermon Quote:
“Not everyone will cheer you on when you step out in faith. But once you’ve experienced the power of one day—you won’t want to go back.”

Reflection Question:
Is there someone in my life I worry about being upset with my for seeking God?

Prayer:
Lord, give me the courage to continue seeking You, even when other people are upset. Strengthen me to follow Your path despite opposition. Help me to prioritize Your will above the opinions of others. May my actions glorify You and inspire others to seek Your presence. Amen.
