Day 17 :: March 16 [Monday]

Read:
Acts 1: 12-15; Hebrews 10:24-25

Reflect:
  • Who are the people closest to you?
  • What are your relationships like?
  • What do these passages teach you about God’s plan for relationships?
  • Being with others who will wait on God with you and renew your strength often means having to rearrange your relationships.
  • Read and ask God for some intimate allies.

  • What could you do to simplify your life today?
  • What are some things that get in the way of spending quality time with others?
  • Remove one of those obstacles today, and make plans to meet with someone to talk about God’s Word together.
  • Transforming relationships are those that create space for God to act and speak.
Respond:
Lord, you have made me to live in relationship with others. Give me strength to move toward others, away from isolation. May my relationships not be shallow; may they not be trivial. Give me meaningful words and a listening heart. I belong to God’s people and am no longer alone. Thank you, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
