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
“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another” (Ephesians 4:25).
As believers in the body of Christ, we’re to be truthful with each other in every situation. The devil will try to use lies and deception to divide us and bring us down, but when we rely on the Holy Spirit, we’re victorious against the attacks of the enemy.
February 7
“You can’t whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them” (Proverbs 28:13, MSG).
When we do something we know is wrong, we may be able to fool the world, and even ourselves for a while, but not God. There’s no hiding anything from Him because He can see straight into our hearts and minds. The wisest thing to do is honestly admit our mistake and move on.
February 6
“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; Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ Says the Lord” (Zechariah 8:16, 17, NKJV).
Christians are on display, and the world is watching us. Our behavior should reflect the behavior of the Prince of Peace, who demonstrated by example how to embrace peace, truth, and justice.
February 5
“In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble” (Proverbs 15:6).
This was written back in the days of King Solomon, and it’s still true today. The righteous who live according to God’s standards are blessed with treasures that far exceed just money. When we see people who make money their god, we see the curses their choice brings on their lives.
February 4
“Put God in charge of your work, then what you’ve planned will take place” (Proverbs 16:3, MSG).
Work doesn’t have to feel like work when we let God lead us to the career path He wants for us. We see people every day who insist on making their own decisions on where to work and what to do, yet they struggle constantly. Asking for God’s guidance makes us twice as productive as everyone else, with no effort.
February 3
“Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace” (Proverbs 15:18, MSG).
The more we walk in God’s Word and let it sink into our psyche, the more it changes us from the inside out. Applying what we learn from the Scriptures teaches us self-control and renews our spirit. The Word transforms us into the likeness of Jesus, also known as the Prince of Peace.
