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.
February 8
“Always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins” (Colossians 1:12-14, NLT).
Gratitude flows from knowing we’ve been rescued from darkness and given a new identity in Christ. Our freedom and forgiveness are gifts purchased by His love.
February 7
“Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies” (Psalm 107:2, NLT).
Redemption isn’t meant to be hidden; it’s a testimony that should be shared. Speaking of God’s deliverance strengthens faith and encourages others.
February 6
“When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful” (Proverbs 29:18, NLT).
Without God’s vision and direction, life becomes chaotic and purposeless. Obedience to His Word brings stability and true joy.
February 5
“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8, NIV).
Ideas rooted in popular culture or religious tradition can subtly enslave us if they replace Christ as the foundation of truth. We avoid this danger by remaining vigilant and anchored in Him, discerning every teaching through the lens of His Word.
February 4
“You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross” (Colossians 2:13-15, NLT).
Christ’s victory on the cross erased every accusation against us and defeated the powers of darkness. Our new life in Him gives us not only forgiveness but triumph, secured by His public display of authority over all spiritual opposition.
February 3
“The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit” (Romans 8:3, 4, NLT).
Through Jesus, God accomplished what human effort could never achieve—freedom from sin’s power—through the sacrificial death of His own Son. This calls us to live Spirit-led lives, reflecting the righteousness that the law demanded but couldn’t produce in us.
