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.
December 11
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31, 32).
Applying God’s Word to our lives empowers and frees us from whatever the world does to put us in bondage. Jesus Christ is the Word in human form; we can confidently believe what He says.
December 10
“Out of my distress I called upon the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free and in a large place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 118:5, 6, AMPC).
When we’re going through something and we’re under spiritual attack, we can’t possibly lose because God is on our side. He always answers when we call Him, and He reassures us not to be worried or anxious about what others may try to do to us.

“And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:27, 28).
Being a godly leader requires making sacrifices and serving others in the same way Jesus did. The world teaches us to claw our way to the top of the pack for our own gratification with a “win at all cost” mentality, but it takes courage and commitment to follow God’s teachings.
December 8
“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Luke 14:11, NKJV).
The kingdom of heaven is the complete opposite from the way the world operates. Christian service to others can be a humbling experience, but when we humble ourselves God promises to exalt us before everyone.
December 7
“So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor, and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty” (2 Corinthians 6:17, 18, AMPC).
Believers are to live in the world without becoming tainted or infected by it. Just as any earthly father would remind his little ones, our heavenly Father reminds us that we’re His children and should behave as such.
December 6
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26).
As free moral agents, we get to choose for ourselves whether or not we’re God’s children. In the earthly realm we had no control over what family we were born into, but making the decision to get born again and accept Christ grafts us into a new spiritual family, by choice.
