NOVEMBER



 



First Sunday of November
Heading: The Strength of God’s Guidance
Verse: John 16:13 (But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.)


In navigation, a reliable guide ensures safe travel. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit’s guidance, energizing our path with truth. We must eliminate reliance on our own understanding and exchange it for trust in the Spirit’s eternal wisdom. This guidance leads us to God’s purpose.


Empathy helps us guide others, like a mentor directing a student. This Sunday, seek the Spirit’s guidance in a decision. Encourage someone seeking direction by sharing this promise, pointing them to the eternal truth of God’s Spirit.

Spirit of Truth, guide my path. Help me eliminate self-reliance and exchange it for Your wisdom, energizing my journey. With empathy, encourage others to follow You, trusting Your eternal light. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Second Sunday of November
Heading: The Power of Love’s Sacrifice
Verse: 1 John 3:16 (This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.)


In history, sacrifices often inspire profound change. John teaches that Jesus’ sacrifice defines love, energizing us to eliminate selfishness and exchange it for sacrificial care. This love reflects His eternal heart and transforms relationships. By loving sacrificially, we honor His example.


Empathy fuels this love, like a soldier risking all for another. This Sunday, consider a way to love sacrificially—perhaps through time or forgiveness. Encourage someone to love like Christ, pointing them to the eternal power of His sacrifice.

Jesus, thank You for Your sacrifice. Help me eliminate selfishness and exchange it for love, energizing my service. With empathy, encourage others to sacrifice, reflecting Your eternal love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Third Sunday of November
Heading: The Call to Faithful Waiting
Verse: Titus 2:13 (While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.)


In astronomy, patient observation reveals cosmic wonders. Paul calls us to wait for Christ’s return, energizing our hope. We must eliminate impatience and exchange it for endurance, trusting in His eternal promise. This waiting shapes our lives with purpose and expectancy.


Empathy supports others in waiting, like a friend comforting during uncertainty. This Sunday, reflect on how you wait for God’s promises. Encourage someone longing for hope, pointing them to the eternal glory of Christ’s return.

Lord, teach me to wait faithfully. Help me eliminate impatience and exchange it for hope, energizing my expectancy. With empathy, encourage others to wait on You, trusting Your eternal return. In Jesus' Name, Amen..

Fourth Sunday of November
Heading: The Joy of God’s Mercy
Verse: Luke 1:50 (His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.)


In law, mercy tempers justice, offering grace. Mary praises God’s mercy, which energizes our worship and eliminates fear of condemnation. We must exchange self-righteousness for humility, embracing His eternal grace. This mercy inspires us to extend grace to others.


Empathy helps us show mercy, like a judge offering leniency. This Sunday, thank God for His mercy in your life. Encourage someone by showing mercy, pointing them to the eternal grace of God’s love.

Merciful God, shower me with Your grace. Help me eliminate judgment and exchange it for mercy, energizing my heart. With empathy, encourage others to show grace, reflecting Your eternal love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
