Daily Devo | Does What We Do Match What We Say? (New Testament in a Year, Luke 4:31-44)

After claiming that Isaiah's prophecy about the messiah is about himself, Jesus goes about proving it to be true. Jesus fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah by healing the sick, bringing liberty to the spiritually oppressed, and by preaching the good news. His words are as good as his actions and there is an invitation for us to have the same kind of integrity. Do our actions match what we say?

For Reflection:

- What do you make of Simon’s mother-in-law’s immediate return to serving after being healed (v39)?

- Why do you think Jesus refuses to stay where he is most wanted (vv42-43)?

- Jesus shows integrity by immediately fulfilling his promise in v.21. How have you grown in your integrity as you've followed Jesus? Where might God be challenging you to continue to grow in integrity?

- Prayer: Jesus, thank you for your compassion and integrity, giving us every reason to always trust you.
