Devotional: Only God Is Worthy

Only God Is Worthy

Scripture:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
—Revelation 5:12

When we strip away everything else — every worry, every fear, every uncertainty — what remains is the unshakeable truth that God alone is worthy.

People see our outward life, our choices, our struggles, our avatar. But beneath all of that is the deeper reality:
a spirit made to behold God.

We were created for worship.

Not because God is needy —
but because our souls come alive in His presence.

And when we lift up the name of Jesus, we join a chorus older than creation itself:
Jesus, the Lamb of God,
slain from the foundation of the world,
the One whose sacrifice cleanses, frees, and restores.

When we declare:

God is love — we proclaim His heart.
God is good — we proclaim His character.
God is glory — we proclaim His worth.
God is sovereign — we proclaim His rule over all things, including our stories.

Praise is not something we give God because our lives are peaceful.

Praise is something we give God because He is God, and He remains worthy in every season of life, especially the confusing ones.

As we wait for answers — from circumstances, from life — remember this:

We are not waiting alone.

We are waiting with the One who holds all authority in heaven and on earth.
And the Lamb who was slain is the Shepherd who leads our steps.


Take a breath and say slowly:

“My spirit belongs to God.
My life is in His hands.
And He will not fail me.”

Let that truth settle deeper than anxiety, deeper than confusion, deeper than the noise around you.

A Prayer

"Father, You alone are worthy.
You alone are God.
I lift my praises to You, not because my circumstances are simple,
but because Your mercy and power are greater than anything I face.
Jesus, Lamb of God,
thank You for bearing my sins,
for rescuing my soul,
for loving me before the world began.
Holy Spirit,
steady my heart today.
Let Your peace govern my thoughts.
Let Your presence quiet every fear.
Lead me in Your way,
hold me in Your hands,
and keep me surrendered to Your will.
God, You are love.
You are good.
You are glory.
You are sovereign.
And I trust You."

Amen.

Devotional: Letting God Hold the Pen

Letting God Hold the Pen Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 We all wake up already telling a story. Before we even step out of bed, there’s a narrator in our head working overtime: “This day is going to be stressful.” “I’m behind.” “No one understands me.” “I’ve got to fix everything myself.” “This will never change.” And without even realizing it, we start living according to that script—one we didn’t ask for, didn’t pray over, and didn’t consult God about. It’s a story shaped by old fears, old wounds, old habits of thinking. But Scripture shows us something radically different: We are not meant to be the sole authors of our lives. We are meant to be co-authors with God— and ultimately, to let Him hold the pen. Here’s the mystery: God doesn’t force His way into our story. He waits for permission. He waits for surrender...

Devotional: The God Who Stays in the Quiet Places

The God Who Stays in the Quiet Places Scripture: “A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out.”   Isaiah 42:3 When Faith Feels Quiet There are seasons when faith doesn’t feel bright or strong. Some days belief comes easily; other days it feels thin, tired, or distant. Sometimes faith feels real and alive; sometimes it feels like a memory. It can even feel like something overlaid on life rather than growing naturally from the heart. These quiet seasons do not mean faith has died. They simply mean the heart is tired. And God knows how to meet a tired heart. God Does Not Ask for Performance Many people fear that God expects constant strength, constant confidence, or constant passion. But Scripture paints a very different picture. God does not demand emotional intensity. He does not require perfect clarity. He does not ask the weary to pretend. A wavering heart is still seen. A quiet prayer is still heard. A faint spark is still honored. God does not ...
