Tell What Jesus Has Done

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: John 9

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

The man Jesus healed didn’t have years of Bible knowledge or a perfectly developed theology. He simply knew what Jesus had done for him. When people asked how his life had changed, he told them his story: he had been blind, Jesus intervened, and now he could see. We can do the same thing. We don’t need an impressive testimony; we simply need to honestly tell people how knowing Jesus has brought hope into our lives.

What has Jesus done in your life that you could share with someone else?
        
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Holy Spirit, help me recognize the ways You have been at work in my life. Give me courage to tell my story when opportunities come. Use my experiences to help someone else see the goodness of Jesus. Amen.
   
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Faith Step:
Think of one specific way Jesus has brought hope, change, healing, direction, or peace into your life. Practice telling that story simply and honestly.
