This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: "Remember His Mighty Works."
Luke 19:37 (NKJV) – "Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen."
As Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the disciples could not remain silent. They had seen the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, storms calmed, demons cast out, and lives forever changed. Their hearts overflowed with joy because they remembered the mighty works of Jesus.
The same is true for us today. It is good to pause and reflect on all that Jesus has done in our lives. He has forgiven our sins, given us new life, answered prayers, carried us through difficult seasons, comforted us in sorrow, and remained faithful when we were weak. Every blessing we enjoy is a testimony to His grace and goodness.
When we remember the wonderful works of Christ, our faith grows stronger, our hope is renewed, and our hearts are filled with thanksgiving. Praise shifts our focus from our problems to our Savior. Instead of dwelling on what we lack, we rejoice in the One who has never failed us.
Take a few moments today to remember the ways Jesus has been faithful to you. Thank Him for His saving grace, His daily provision, His unfailing love, and His constant presence. The same Savior who worked mightily then is still working powerfully today, and He alone is worthy of all our praise.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Thank You for the mighty works He has done throughout history and for the wonderful ways He continues to work in our lives today. Help us never to forget Your faithfulness or take Your blessings for granted. Fill our hearts with gratitude as we remember Your mercy, Your provision, Your forgiveness, and Your amazing grace. May our lives be marked by joyful praise, and may our testimony point others to Jesus, who alone is worthy of all honor and glory. In His precious name we pray. Amen.
That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.

His Yoke Is Easy
This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: "His Yoke Is Easy."
Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) – "For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Many people spend their lives carrying burdens they were never meant to bear. Guilt, fear, worry, and the pressure to earn God's favor can leave us weary and discouraged. But Jesus offers something far different. He invites us to exchange our heavy burdens for His yoke.
A yoke symbolizes submission and partnership. When we take Christ's yoke upon us, we are choosing to follow Him as Lord and trust Him as our Savior. We are no longer striving to save ourselves, because Jesus has already accomplished our salvation through His death on the cross and His glorious resurrection. His grace is sufficient, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness.
Following Jesus does not mean life will be free from trials, but it does mean we never face them alone. The Savior walks with us, carries us when we are weak, and gives us peace that the world cannot provide. The burden He asks us to carry is light because He bears the weight of our sin, our shame, and our eternal destiny.
Today, trust Jesus with every burden on your heart. Walk closely with Him, rest in His finished work, and discover the joy and peace that come from following the One whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to save us and to invite us into a life of peace and rest. Thank You that we do not have to carry the weight of sin, guilt, or fear because Jesus has borne it for us at the cross. Help us to walk closely with Him each day, trusting His wisdom, obeying His Word, and depending on His strength. Teach us to rest in His finished work and to find joy in following Him. May our lives reflect the grace and peace that are found in Jesus alone. In His precious and holy name we pray. Amen.

Come to Jesus and Find Rest
This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: "Come to Jesus and Find Rest."
Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) – "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Jesus does not invite us to carry our burdens alone. He calls us to Himself. His invitation is not reserved for those who have everything together, but for the weary, the discouraged, the burdened, and those who have reached the end of their own strength. Our Savior knows every weight we carry, and His heart is full of compassion.
The rest Jesus offers is more than physical relief—it is the deep peace that comes from knowing our sins are forgiven, our future is secure, and our lives are safely held in His hands. At the cross, He bore the greatest burden of all—our sin—so that we could receive the gift of His grace and walk in the freedom of His love. Because He rose from the grave, we can face each day with confidence, knowing He is with us and will never leave us.
Whatever is weighing on your heart today, bring it to Jesus. Lay every fear, every sorrow, every unanswered question, and every anxious thought before Him. He is faithful to sustain you, strengthen you, and give you the rest that only He can provide.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Savior and our perfect source of rest. Thank You that we do not have to carry our burdens alone because Jesus invites us to come to Him. Today we lay every care, every fear, and every struggle at His feet, trusting in His unfailing love and faithful care. Fill our hearts with the peace that only Christ can give, renew our strength through Your Holy Spirit, and help us to rest in the finished work of the cross. May our lives point others to the One who still says, "Come to Me." We ask this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Signed, Sealed, and Delivered.
Have you ever woken up in the morning and thought, "I really made a mess of things yesterday"? Have you been feeling like you've fallen short of the mark?
Yet, in all of our shortcomings, God accepts us in Jesus. That doesn't mean we want sinful behavior to rule over us—we actively seek the Lord's help to walk in victory. Still, our shortcomings serve as a reminder that God's perfection is found in His Son, Jesus Christ, and God has placed us, as believers, in Him.
As it says in Romans 8:38 (NLT): "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love."
So today, be encouraged. If you have faith in Christ, you are signed, sealed, and delivered for heaven. And here on earth, no matter the circumstances, you walk with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God who sent Messiah Jesus.
Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.
