OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: WEDNESDAY MAY 13TH 2026 THEME: MIND YOUR FOOTPRINTS I MEMORISE: Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1 READ: Galatians 6:7-8 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. MESSAGE All human beings on earth leave their footprints in the sands of time. While some leave negative footprints, others leave positive ones. The actions you take today are the footprints you are leaving behind, and they will determine your future. Today's Bible reading says that you will reap whatever you sow. Just as you cannot plant onions and expect to reap apples, you must be intentional about the seeds you sow in your journey through life if you want to get the best out of your time on the earth. You must act and speak carefully every day to ensure that you do not jeopardize your future by sowing the wrong seeds. In this age and time, one of the popular places a fellow can leave negative footprints is on the internet. There is even a popular saying that the internet never forgets. You should be mindful of the things you post on social media and your communication on the internet in general. Posting negative content and portraying inappropriate behavior online might come back to haunt you later in future. However, if your digital footprint is good, you will not need to worry about any negative impact. Today's memory verse says that we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. Many people think that this refers to the hosts of heaven alone. However, the devil and his agents are also watching every move you make, and they are on the lookout for any mistake they can use against you in the future. Furthermore, your fellow human beings are also part of the cloud of witnesses that are observing every move you make. Beloved, do not think you can do some things in secret without anyone knowing about them. Even if no one sees you, God sees you, and the hosts of heaven are recording all your actions. In Jeremiah 17:10, God said, " the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." He is constantly looking at your heart and evaluating your thoughts and actions. Therefore, you must ensure that you renew your mind daily with His word (Romans 12:2) and honor Him with your actions (Colossians 3:17). Make a commitment today to never engage in anything that will have a negative effect on your future. I pray that the Lord will continually guide you to do the right things at the right time, in Jesus' name. KEY POINT Do not be deceived; you shall reap whatever you BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 21-24 AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 28 GUIDE ME, O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH! 1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!
