Remember, see the devotional introduction for instruction on how to follow this devotional for the Be the Church series.

Verse: Luke 17:11-19

Reflect

• The lepers had received the incredible gift of renewed health, but only one took the time to thank the Healer. As you put your faith in action, you may not always receive the response you might expect. Yet, you can keep caring for people, as Jesus did, because this is his work, not yours. What expectations might you need to leave in God’s hands as you reach out to care for others?
• A spirit of thankfulness provides great fuel for helping others. As we acknowledge what God has done and continue to do for us, we’re inspired to share these great gifts with others. What are two ways you can remember each day to thank God for all your blessings?

Spend Time in Prayer

• What is God showing you personally through your devotion time today? Ask God to guide you in applying what you have learned.
• Pray for the spiritual growth ofanother person whom God may be challenging to put his or her faith in action.
• Pray for someone you know is in need.
