Devotion: Day 1

Day 1: When God Commands Your Emotions

Reading: Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32

Devotional: God created us with 27 distinct emotions, and He desires to command every single one. Like the invasion in "Body Snatchers," emotional sin infiltrates quietly while we're spiritually asleep. A small grudge, a spark of jealousy, a flicker of pride—these seem harmless at first, but left unchecked, they grow roots deep in our souls. The enemy doesn't roar; he whispers. He waits for unguarded moments when prayer fades and forgiveness is postponed. Today, ask God to scan your heart. What emotion has taken root that doesn't reflect His character? Don't let the sun go down on your wrath. Wake up to what's creeping in before it replaces your true self with something hollow. God wants to transform your emotions, not just forgive them.

Reflection Question: What emotion do I need to surrender to God's transforming power today?
