Max Lucado Devotional 31st January 2024: God’s Forever Family
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 31 JANUARY 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE: Gary and Steve had acted like brothers for twenty-five years. In 1998, when a caseworker called Gary asking some personal questions, she discovered both Gary and Steve were adopted. Later she phoned Steve with the news. “You have a brother – your friend, Gary!” Turns out they were more than buddies; they were brothers. Not just friends, but family.
How do you imagine these two men felt? Well, God wants you to find out. He offers you a family of friends—his church.
“His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure” (Ephesians 1:5). You see when you transfer your trust into Christ, he not only pardons you, he places you in his forever family of friends.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR OF THIS DEVOTIONAL: Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and best-selling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.
As a writer, Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: “What can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?” He’s been dubbed “America’s Pastor” by Christianity Today, and “The Best Preacher in America” by Reader’s Digest.
