Happy November, friends, and welcome to a new series of blog posts! November has always been Hunger Games month for me, mostly because I first read the series over Thanksgiving break in middle school. I found this super cool devotional several years ago called Finding God in the Hunger Games, and I’m finally working through it. I’ll be sharing what I learn from each of the thirty-day devotional readings, and applying what I learn using my very own Katniss-inspired prayer journal. Hope you enjoy!
Day 1
Day 1 of this devotional is titled “We All Need a Savior,” and I think it’s a good way to start the study off. Honestly, I’m amazed that this author came up with 30 devotional readings based on The Hunger Games! I’m glad she did, as this is literally my favorite series EVER, so I welcome any chance to live in it a little longer.
Verse of the Day
Romans 3:23-26 NASB20for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. [This was] to demonstrate His righteousness, because in God’s [merciful] restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished; for the demonstration, [that is,] of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
What I learned
The point of today’s lesson is that extreme settings like Panem point out our universal need for a Savior. I thank God for the Savior who did come, fulfilling the Law that was only ever intended to point out our need for Him. I praise Him that His righteousness can never be tainted or diminished, and pray that His glory will be shown through His transformation of my heart and life.
