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.

“Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor will increase” (Proverbs 13:11, NKJV).
The mindset some people have—one of greed and lust for money—has been around since the beginning of time. The behavior of the dishonest tax collectors in the Bible can be seen in many businesses and corporations today. In these end times, we’re seeing this verse come to pass.
January 14
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV).
The world and all its prevailing philosophies change every so often; this can be unsettling and confusing to us. We find direction, stability, and firm footing in Jesus Christ; the truths we find in Him remain true forever.
January 13
“For who is God, except the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?” (2 Samuel 22:32, NKJV).
When we consider something as large and immovable as a boulder, it’s hard to imagine anything more solid; however, Jesus—also referred to as the Rock—is stronger. Over time, earthly rocks can move and get worn down by weather, but God never shifts or changes. This means that His promises are eternal and permanent.

“Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God’s Word and life’s experiences], for the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold” (Proverbs 3:13, 14, AMPC).
We all know people who never learn from their mistakes, but the wisdom to learn valuable lessons from life experiences comes from God. Receiving the gift of divine wisdom is infinitely better than any earthly knowledge we try to acquire on our own.
January 11
“My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck” (Proverbs 1:8, 9).
Living a godly life begins early; when children learn obedience, respect, and discipline, they’re off to a great start. God promises to honor those who honor their parents and others placed in authority over them.
January 10
“There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers… The eye that mocks a father, that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures” (Proverbs 30:11, 17, NIV).
Children who learn to respect and honor their parents aren’t only pleasing to others, they’re also pleasing to God. Disrespectful and out of control young people are an abomination to Him; He’ll deal with them accordingly.
