Day 1: When Work Replaces Worship
Reading: Revelation 2:1-5
Devotional: The church at Ephesus was doing everything right on the outside. Their doctrine was sound, their labor was consistent, and their patience was proven. Yet Christ brought a charge against them that cut to the heart of the matter: they had abandoned their first love. Activity had quietly replaced intimacy. This is a warning that every believer must take seriously. It is possible to serve God faithfully in public while drifting from Him privately. Ask yourself today not what you have done for God, but when you last simply sat in His presence because you loved Him.
Reflection: What areas of your spiritual life have become routine rather than relational?
Application: Set aside ten minutes today with no agenda, no request list, and no task to complete. Simply be still before God and acknowledge His presence.
