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.

“But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches” (1 Corinthians 7:17).
God gives each one of us special gifts and talents, and we’re to use them to serve His kingdom. When He calls us into service, we’ll feel that calling in our hearts. Using our talents and abilities the way He intends bring us success.

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise” (Proverbs 12:15, NKJV).
People who make their own decisions according to what they feel at the time will stumble through life making a series of bad choices. Conversely, those who seek godly counsel from others before making a decision are considered wise in God’s eyes.

“He who earnestly seeks good finds favor, but trouble will come to him who seeks evil” (Proverbs 11:27, NKJV).
God favors wise individuals who deliberately apply the principles of His Word to their lives, but not everyone has godly wisdom in this area. People who reject His instructions in favor of the world’s prevailing sentiment at the moment create their own problems in life.

“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand” (Daniel 12:3, 10, NIV).
In the end times, the core of believers who continue to obey God’s Word will shine brightly in a spiritually dark world like a thousand-watt spotlight on a hill, and those who lead others to Christ will be blessed. God’s children will understand the wisdom contained in the Word, but the Scriptures won’t make sense to many others.

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22, 23, NKJV).
When we minister to the lost souls God puts in our path, we must remember that when we bring them His Word, it’s the only thing saving them from perishing. God shows compassion and mercy for His lost sheep through us, when we reach out to others in trouble. The Good Shepherd faithfully watches over all of His sheep, and won’t let the enemy snatch even one of them out of His hand.

“[My] brethren, if anyone among you strays from the Truth and falls into error and another [person] brings him back [to God], let the [latter] one be sure that whoever turns a sinner from his evil course will save [that one’s] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins [procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the convert]” (James 5:19, 20, AMPC).
Forgetting about God’s Word and His plans for our lives puts us in danger of the spiritual death lurking everywhere in the world. As believers, we have a responsibility to watch out for each other and rescue each other as needed.
