Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Suffering ServantIsaiah 53:3
No. 230
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.Isaiah 53:3

Jesus knows what rejection feels like. He knows grief. He knows what it is to have people turn their backs on you. He wasn't sheltered from the human experience of pain — He walked directly into it. He is not a distant, unmoved God. He is familiar with what you're going through.

Reflect

What suffering or rejection are you carrying that you can bring to the One who is familiar with pain?

Prayer

Jesus, You understand my pain from the inside. Not from a distance. Thank You for being familiar with what I'm going through. Amen.
