Day 5: The Gathering of Believers
Five-day devotional based on the message, "Don't Worry, Be Ready" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on May 4, 2025. Click here to watch the video.
Devotional
In the culmination of God's promise, the gathering of believers is a profound moment of reunion and redemption. Jesus assures us that at His return, those who have placed their faith in Him will be gathered together. This truth offers comfort and encouragement, particularly in times of uncertainty and trial. As we await this gathering, let us live each day as a testament to His love and grace, reaching out to others with the same hope we have received. Our readiness is not just for ourselves, but for the world to witness the transformative power of Christ.
Bible Verse
“Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Reflection Question
How does the promise of being gathered with other believers influence your relationships and your daily life?
Sermon Quote
“Believers will be saved… those who have surrendered the leadership of their life to Him and claim allegiance to one King.”
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of eternal life with You. Help me to live each day in the light of this promise, sharing Your love and hope with others. Unite us as believers, that our lives may reflect Your glory until the day we are gathered in Your presence. Amen.
