Sanctity of Life Day is a reminder that human life is not accidental or ordinary—it is created, intentional, and sacred. This devotional centers on the biblical truth that people have value because they are made in God’s image. Our worth isn’t earned by performance, productivity, age, ability, or circumstance. It’s given by the Creator who formed us, knows us, and calls us His. The devotional also emphasizes God’s personal involvement in every life. Scripture describes Him as the One who sees us before we’re even fully formed, who writes our days with purpose, and who breathes life into humanity. That means every person carries God-given dignity and is never invisible to Him. From the beginning, God’s hand has been on our lives—shaping, guiding, and appointing good works for us to walk in. Because life is sacred to God, His people are called to value it too. That includes choosing life in our own hearts and decisions, and also standing up for those who are overlooked, vulnerable, or not valued by the world around them. The devotional calls believers to reflect God’s heart by protecting, honoring, and advocating for human dignity—speaking up, showing compassion, and living with conviction that every life is worthy of care and protection. Today is an invitation to gratitude for the gift of life, and a renewed commitment to represent God well—by cherishing life the way He does. Main Takeaways Human life is sacred because every person is made in the image of God. Your life is not accidental—God’s hand and purpose are present from the very beginning. Our worth is rooted in God’s creation and care, not in culture’s standards or achievements. God calls His people to choose life and to value the lives of others. Part of godly character is advocating for those who are vulnerable and not valued by society. Today’s Bible Verse: “What is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of Your hands; You put everything under their feet.” - Psalm 8:4-6 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Strengthen us to value and choose life for ourselves, and stand up for individuals who are not valued in our culture.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.
