Day 77 of 365: Thank You, All

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the Sacred Journey Devotional Blog Community. There are subscribers literally from all over the world.

When I looked at the map that contained the geographic location of our community, I was truly honored and supremely grateful for all of you who are walking with me on such a personal spiritual journey. I want to continue to encourage you with this scripture from Ephesians.

Ephesians 4:2-6

Living Bible

Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Try always to be led along together by the Holy Spirit and so be at peace with one another.

We are all parts of one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. For us there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and we all have the same God and Father who is over us all and in us all, and living through every part of us.

Outside of the United States, here are where other subscribers are from:

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU. 😊

Day 76 of 365: The Real Work Begins

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, yesterday we talked about consistency in our faith and how Satan tempted Jesus right after His 40‑day fast. What’s powerful is this: Jesus knew the fast wasn’t the finish line—it was the preparation.

The 40-day fast crucified His flesh so He could fulfill His earthly mission. The testing revealed what was already settled in Him. Satan thought he was interrupting Jesus’ journey, but he was actually participating in God’s greater plan. Every temptation Jesus resisted brought Him closer to victory over death, hell, and the grave.

Sometimes we believe our hardest season is the end—but often, it’s just the beginning. Your struggle is not wasted. Your pain has purpose. God is strengthening you for what comes next.

If you’ve endured a tough season, take heart. The fast may be over. The trial may be ending. But the real work—and the real victory—is just beginning.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Luke 24:1-8
New International Version


Jesus Has Risen
24 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, help us remain consistent in our faith. Give us strength to endure testing and wisdom to see purpose in pain. Prepare us for what You’ve called us to do. In the name, power and majesty of Jesus Christ our Lord.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen
