Thursday
We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
- John 20:19
The empty tomb tells the greatest story ever told—not of absence, but of presence. Satan's influence always leaves emptiness behind, but Jesus specializes in filling what feels hollow. Where there was an empty tomb, Jesus provided evidence of life. Where Mary felt empty grief, He gave His comforting presence. Where disciples experienced empty fear, He spoke peace. Where Thomas battled empty doubt, He offered proof. The same Jesus who filled every empty space in His followers' lives is ready to fill yours too. That emptiness you're feeling isn't permanent—it's an invitation. God allows us to experience emptiness so we become fully aware of our need for Him. Your hollow places aren't meant to stay empty; they're meant to be filled with His presence, peace, and purpose.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Memory Verse
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
