Walking With The Wise

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Walking with the Wise.

Proverbs 13:20 (WEB):

"One who walks with wise men grows wise,but a companion of fools suffers harm."

Who you walk with shapes who you become. Scripture makes that plain. Your friendships, your influences, the voices you allow closest to you—these are not neutral. They are forming your character day by day.

If you walk with the wise—those who fear the Lord, who love His Word, who pursue holiness—you will grow in wisdom. Their influence will sharpen you, correct you, and point you toward truth. But if you keep close company with those who reject God, who treat sin lightly, who live for themselves, Scripture says the end is harm—real, spiritual destruction.

This is a call to examine your circle honestly. Are the people shaping your life drawing you closer to Christ, or pulling you away?

The good news is that true wisdom is found in Jesus Christ. He is the wisdom of God, and through Him, sinners are forgiven and made new. Turn from sin, trust in Him, and walk daily in His ways. Then seek out others who are doing the same, and walk together toward life.

That's it for this podcast. Follow Jesus Radio is here 24 hours a day to encourage you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

Concern for unsaved loved ones

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Concern for unsaved loved ones.

Let’s begin with the words of Jesus in Luke 19:10: "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

Right now, in this very hour, God is actively seeking the lost. He is seeking that daughter, that father, that spouse, or that friend you are so deeply concerned about. It is easy to feel like you are carrying this burden alone, but remember: God sees your loved ones more clearly than you do, and He cares for them with a perfect, infinite love. He is not indifferent to their salvation; He is committed to it.

Even when we see no outward change, God is at work behind the scenes. He is the Master Architect of circumstances. Today, He may be arranging a "divine appointment"—perhaps a conversation at a grocery store, a quiet thought that prompts them to pick up a Bible, or a sudden curiosity that leads them to ask you a question. He is opening doors for the message of salvation found in Jesus Christ alone.

Consider also what Jesus said in Luke 5:31-32: "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

God specializes in sinners. If you ever doubt His reach, just look at us! He reached into our lives when we were far off, and He hasn't changed. He knows the weight of your heart, and He hears every whispered prayer you've offered up on their behalf.

Don’t give up hope. Our God is a persistent seeker. He didn't give up on you, and He isn't giving up on them. He is seeking the lost this very hour.

That’s our thought for today. Follow Jesus Radio is here for you 24 hours a day to encourage your faith. Stay strong, keep praying, and remember: Jesus loves you, He loves your family, and He is just a prayer away.

The Anchor of Our Faith

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: The Anchor of Our Faith.

Scripture: “Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel.” — 2 Timothy 2:8 (NKJV)

In the midst of life’s noise, trials, and distractions, the Apostle Paul gives Timothy—and us—a singular command: Remember. It is easy to forget the foundations when the storms of life are raging, yet our strength is found in looking back at the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.

Paul highlights that Jesus is "of the seed of David." This isn't just a genealogical fact; it is a declaration of God’s faithfulness. It reminds us that Jesus was fully human, entering into our suffering, our limitations, and our history. He is the promised King who understands our weaknesses because He walked among us.

Then comes the victory: He "was raised from the dead." If Jesus remained in the grave, our faith would be futile. But because He is alive, we have a "living hope." The resurrection is the proof that death is defeated, sin is paid for, and the power of God is available to us today.

While Paul focuses on the resurrection in this verse, we cannot forget the path that led there. To remember the Raised Christ is to also remember the Crucified Christ. The Gospel is incomplete without the Cross—the place where His humanity (seed of David) met the ultimate sacrifice. The Cross is where our debt was settled; the Resurrection is where our life began.

Today, whatever you are facing, fix your eyes on the living King. Remember that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you.

Let us pray. Lord, help me to keep the Gospel at the center of my mind today. I remember Your sacrifice on the Cross and I celebrate Your victory over the grave. May the reality of Your resurrection give me strength for every task. Amen.

The Infinite Heart of God

This is Follow Jesus Radio encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: The Infinite Heart of God.

Scripture Focus: “How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!” — Psalm 139:17 (NLT)

Take a deep breath and consider the sheer scale of the universe. We often feel like a tiny speck in an infinite expanse. Yet, the Psalmist David reveals a startling truth: the Creator of those galaxies is preoccupied with you.

God is not merely aware of your existence; He is actively thinking about you. His thoughts aren’t cold or judgmental; they are "precious." If you tried to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand on every shore. Imagine that—for every mistake you’ve made, for every moment you’ve felt alone, there are a billion "precious thoughts" from the Father directed toward your heart.

What does God think when He looks at you? Through the lens of His Word and the sacrifice of Jesus, we know His thoughts toward you are filled with forgiveness and restoration. He thinks of the cross of Jesus, where your sins were washed away; He isn't dwelling on your past but is focused on your restored relationship with Him.

He also thinks of your healing and deliverance. Whether it is physical pain, emotional trauma, or spiritual bondage, His thoughts are plans for your wholeness. Finally, His thoughts extend to eternal life. He has prepared a place for you, thinking of the day you will step into eternity in Jesus, where every tear is wiped away.

Today, when the "accuser" tries to tell you that you are forgotten, unloved, or too far gone, replace that lie with the truth of Psalm 139. Consider which of God’s precious thoughts—Forgiveness, Healing, or your Future—you need to lean into most today.

Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank You that I am never off Your mind. Thank You that Your thoughts toward me are good, full of peace, and rooted in the finished work of Jesus. I receive Your forgiveness and Your healing today. Help me to walk in the confidence of being deeply known and perfectly loved. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
