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.
January 9
“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching” (2 Timothy 4:2, NKJV).
Whether we’re in school, at work, or in a public place, we must be ready to testify about Jesus, who is the Word made flesh. The Holy Spirit emboldens us and gives us the courage to speak as we’re instructed to do, regardless of the consequences.
January 8
“And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:15, 16).
The world tells us to keep quiet about the Good News of the Gospel of Grace, but Jesus Himself tells us to preach it everywhere. As His representatives, we have a responsibility to do this. Everyone needs the opportunity to decide for themselves whether or not to accept Him.
January 7
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
God’s Word fits all occasions and circumstances, and should be used as a model for how to think, act, and conduct our everyday affairs. It’s our instruction manual for life.
January 6
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
Prayer is direct conversation with God that we can have when we confidently come before Him. Religion would have us cowering before God and begging for blessings and favor when we pray, but grace has already made them available to us. We have the blood-bought right to approach Him.
January 5
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12, NKJV).
God’s Word has a way of cutting to the chase and getting right to the heart of the matter. It sees right through us and exposes our true motives, both good and bad. There’s no hiding from Him.
January 4
“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His” (Hebrews 4:9, 10, NKJV).
Unlike the unsaved, believers can rest from laboring through their own efforts to earn what Jesus has already accomplished. It’s a relief knowing that we don’t have to depend on ourselves for everything we need in life. By faith, His finished works have made it all available to us.
