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 Lost CoinLuke 15:9
No. 259
And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, "Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin."Luke 15:9

One coin. Out of ten. And she searches until she finds it, then throws a party. This is God's posture toward one lost person — not indifferent, not too busy, not writing them off. Sweeping the whole house until He finds what was lost. That's how He pursued you.

Reflect

Is there someone in your life who is lost? How does Jesus's parable shape how you pray for and relate to them?

Prayer

Lord, thank You for sweeping the whole house to find me. Give me Your heart for the lost people in my world. Amen.
