Scripture Reading:

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.””

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Devotional Thought

Have you ever wondered if your everyday life really matters in the bigger picture?

Not just the big moments—but your work, your conversations, your presence with people.

Following Jesus isn’t just something that helps you. It slowly reshapes how you show up in the world around you.

Jesus never asked people to retreat from real life. He sent them into it—into their jobs, friendships, families, neighborhoods, and everyday routines. Not to preach at people, but to live in a way that points to something better.

The Bible says God gives His Spirit to help us live this out. That doesn’t mean becoming intense or religious. It means you’re not doing this alone. God is present with you, helping you love people well, speak honestly, and stay grounded when life gets messy.

You don’t need special knowledge or the right words. You don’t need to convince anyone of anything. You simply carry the impact of what Jesus is doing in you. And that shows up in normal ways—how you listen, how you treat people, how you handle conflict, how you care.

Another part of Scripture calls followers of Jesus “ambassadors.” That’s just a way of saying you represent something beyond yourself. Not perfectly—but genuinely. Your life tells a story. And sometimes the most meaningful moments are small: being there for someone, asking a good question, praying quietly for a friend, or sharing honestly about your own journey when the moment feels right.

This is your mission. Not a project. Not a pressure. Just living your life with purpose, love, and awareness that God is already at work around you.

And the promise is this: Jesus goes with you. Everywhere.

Practice for Today

Take a minute and ask God to bring one person to mind—someone you can encourage, check in on, or simply be present with today.

Then take one small, natural step.
