Daily Devotionals
Would you like to read the Word daily, but don’t know how to begin? Reading our Daily Devotionals is a good way to develop the habit of studying the scriptures.

Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose… You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had (Philippians 2:2, 5, NLT).
What we expose ourselves to influences how we think, and how we think determines how we feel. Our thoughts and our feelings are closely linked, and we excel in life when we learn to think like Jesus.

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him” (James 1:12, NIV).
Everyone will be tested at some time in their lives; this is God’s way of refining and purifying our character while teaching us to trust in Him. However, not everyone will be able to withstand the testing process. Only when we stand on His promises to us are we guaranteed victory.

“But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They’re like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers—Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season” (Jeremiah 17:7, 8, MSG).
God promises that when we trust Him—absolutely and without reservations—He’ll take care of us. We will live abundantly and not perish, and we won’t be plagued by fear or worry about anything.

“These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace” (Zechariah 8:16, NKJV).
As children of God, we are to deal with others honestly and make decisions according to His Word. The world doesn’t operate this way because the world doesn’t know Him. When we do this, we’ll stand out like beacons of light.

“Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being done now with it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one body and members one of another” (Ephesians 4:25, AMPC).
When we are born again, we become part of the universal church, which is Christ’s body. The only way this body can work effectively is in the spirit of truth, who is the Holy Spirit.
November 4
“Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:11, 12).
When we make the personal decision to follow Jesus and pattern our lives after His, we shouldn’t be surprised when the world turns hostile toward us. However, in the same way God delivered Timothy from trouble, He’ll also deliver us.
