October 25 -- John 13: 23-30 "One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at the table at Jesus' side, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, 'Lord, who is it?' Jesus answered, 'It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.' So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, 'What you are going to do, do quickly.' Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that, because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him, 'Buy what we need for the feast,' or that he should give something to the poor. So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night."
Prayer focus for today: Have you ever TRULY stopped to think about the fact that none of us is ever truly alone. No matter what deep, dark truth we hold, the one true God knows it all. He knows our thoughts, actions, every little detail of every situation in our lives --- and He knows it before we ever start down that path. Jesus knew Judas - his heart, his plans, his future. Pray today for humility to stop and seek God's face. Ask forgiveness for those sins you are so comfortable with you don't even ask forgiveness anymore, because they are such a part of you you don't even recognize them as sin anymore.
