MY Devotional: Daily Biblical Encouragement & Prayer from Leading The Way

Do you live as though God has written your name in the Book of Life with a pencil? One day, you’re in, but the next you blow it, and your name is erased? When God writes your name in the Book of Life, He doesn’t write with pencil. He writes with the indelible blood of Jesus, who promised that those who trust in Him “shall never perish” (John 10:28). No one can snatch you from His hand. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef shows how salvation and joy are interconnected.

Jesus said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26).

As Jesus was traveling to Jerusalem, He was confronted with a question: “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). It was a poignant question. Of course, Jesus did not tell him this many or that many will be saved. Instead, He urged the man to “make every effort to enter through the narrow door” (v. 24). In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef explains what it means for the Christian to “make every effort to enter through the narrow door” (Luke 13:24).

In Jesus’ time it was commonly taught that suffering is always judgment. For example, when Jesus’ disciples encountered a man born blind, they asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:2). And Jesus took time to correct this false understanding of God’s Word. Truly, He offered a wake-up call—offensive to those who believed they had no need to repent.
