When We Are Really Free
JULY 4 & 5, 2026
Daily Reading—2 Chron. 28-30 / Acts 9:1-19
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Acts 7:55-56 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Today, on July Fourth in the United States, we celebrate the Independence of our Country. Free to live apart from any other country’s rule or control. This is a freedom that many men and women have given their lives to defend. We thank them for their sacrifice.
In today’s verse, Stephen saw his freedom at hand. It says He looked up and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God. One day, we as believers will also see Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. Today, if you are saved, you have been set free from the penalty and the price of sin. We will be really free when we are also set free from the presence of sin.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Can we take time today to thank the One who died for that total freedom?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message. Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
