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 11

“Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name” (Deuteronomy 6:13).

In the Old Testament, the people were taught to be afraid of God. “Fear the Lord” in this context differs from the New-Testament context, which emphasizes respect and reverence.

January 10

“For this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many” (Matthew 26:28, NLT).

January 9

“Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble” (Proverbs 17:17, MSG).

One way God blesses us is by placing family and friends who love and care about us in our lives. These godly people have our best interest at heart and are always willing to cheer us on when we go through tough times.

January 8

“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 1:7).

Contrary to what religion says, we don’t have to die to be declared saints. All that is required is a heart turned toward God and a willingness to obey His law of love.

January 7

“Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few… And a fool’s voice is known by his many words” (Ecclesiastes 5:2, 3, NKJV).

God takes a dim view of the tendency to open one’s mouth carelessly and speak foolishness. If we don’t use godly wisdom in what we say, we can sin with our words.

January 6

“A fool vents all his feelings, But a wise man holds them back” (Proverbs 29:11, NKJV).

Sometimes it’s better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing and make a situation worse. There’s great wisdom in knowing when to keep quiet.
