Scripture for This Morning
“…I live by faith in the Son of God…” Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
Devotional Thought
Monday starts quickly.
Tasks. Decisions. Pressure.
And the instinct is immediate:
“I need to handle today.”
But the truth speaks first:
“I live by faith…”
A man who lives by faith does not begin his day assuming he is the source.
He begins with dependence.
Not vague. Intentional.
Before action— recognition.
I do not have what this day requires. Christ does.
Faith is not a feeling. It is a decision to rely.
Monday begins best when you settle this:
You will not live this day on your own.
Questions to Consider
- Am I beginning this day in self-reliance or dependence on Christ?
- Where do I already feel pressure to perform on my own?
- What would it look like to consciously trust Him today?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me begin this day by faith. Guard me from self-reliance and teach me to depend on Christ in everything I face. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Encouragement for This Morning
You do not need to carry this day alone. Live it by faith in Christ.
