October 6th, 2026 Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time. Reading: **Isaiah 53** 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 Passover meal reminded Israel that their rescue came through sacrifice. The lamb was sacrificed, the bread reminded them of affliction, and the meal told the story of a costly rescue. Jesus takes this story and places Himself at the center of it. He becomes the One who bears our affliction and gives His body for our freedom. Communion reminds us that our salvation was not cheap—it was purchased through the sacrificial love of Jesus.** **How does remembering the cost of your salvation change the way you think about Jesus’ love for you?** 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: **Jesus, thank You for willingly giving Your life for me. Help me never become casual about the sacrifice You made. Give me a deeper gratitude for the freedom and forgiveness You have given me.** 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:** Spend five minutes today thanking Jesus specifically for what His sacrifice has made possible in your life.
