Scripture: Exodus 17:1–4

Scripture Summary
The Israelites are in the wilderness with no water, and they begin to complain to Moses. In their fear and frustration, they wonder whether God is really with them.

Devotion
Wilderness faith is hard.

It is one thing to trust God when life feels settled. It is another thing to trust when resources are low, nerves are frayed, and the future feels uncertain. That is where Israel finds itself.

Truthfully, that is where many of us find ourselves, too. We look around at the world, at our communities, at our own burdens, and we wonder, “Is God really with us in this?”

The wilderness does not mean God has abandoned us. Sometimes it is the very place where God will provide what we need.

Prayer
God of the wilderness, when I am tired and uncertain, hold me steady and remind me that you are still with me. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:27–42

Scripture Summary
The woman leaves her jar behind and runs back to the city to tell others about Jesus. Her testimony leads many people to come and see for themselves, and many believe.

Devotion
Sometimes the most powerful witness is simply telling the truth about what God has done for you.

The woman at the well does not have all the answers. She does not preach a perfect sermon. She simply says, in effect, come and see.

That still matters. In a world full of cynicism and hurt, people are often not looking for polished words. They are looking for real faith, real kindness, real hope.

Maybe our calling is not to have everything figured out. Maybe it is simply to point toward Jesus with honesty and joy.

Prayer
God, give me courage to share your goodness in simple, genuine ways that invite others to come and see. Amen.
