DEVOTIONAL
WEEK 1 – STILL WATERS
DAY SIX
There are many things in life that can’t satisfy your soul. Nicodemus was recognized as a spiritual leader, but he was running on empty. The position, the respect, the authority, the admiration, the rules, the rituals, the leadership, the applause, and the knowledge could not fill the void. Something was missing. The outside story looked great, but the inside story was hollow. One night, Nicodemus approached Jesus because he knew there must be more.
A relationship with God is very different than religion.
We must be born again, and there is a cure for false teaching and legalistic traditions. Jesus is the answer. Sometimes you need to step out of your peer group to abide with and listen to the Good Shepherd. Take risks and be counter-cultural, so that your soul will abound with hope.
Just Choose Hope
HOPE POINT
Seek Jesus instead of being religious.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
What questions would you like to ask Jesus?
Why doesn’t religion ultimately satisfy our souls?
What does Jesus say in these verses that encourages you?
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank You for calling us out of religious traps and empty religion. We reject legalism, pride, and self-sufficiency today. Jesus, You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. To Your name be the praise and the honor. Jesus, You are our Good Shepherd, and we pray in Your name, amen.
