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.

“While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light” (John 12:36).
Being born again makes us children of God and lights in a dark world. The darker the world gets in these end times, the brighter we’ll shine; there’s no extinguishing the light of Christ in us.

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8, NKJV).
Before we got born again, we were of the world, which doesn’t have the light of Christ. Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior makes us God’s children; we have a responsibility to conduct ourselves accordingly.

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).
In the spiritually dark world we live in, it’s easy to get lost and end up on the wrong path in life. Because God lives in us, we have the light we need to find our way to heaven.

“Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of the great; for it is better that he say to you, ‘Come up here,’ than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen” (Proverbs 25:6, 7, NKJV).
Considering ourselves as better than others sets ourselves up for a fall. An “I am the greatest” attitude goes against the biblical teachings of putting others first. Putting ourselves last allows God to exalt us.
January 26
“Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures—both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the Lord” (Proverbs 20:10, AMPC).
This can apply to how we do business as well as to how we relate to others. In a business sense, God sees the use of two different sets of measurements as dishonest and just plain wrong. In relationships, holding others to a different set of moral standards than what we follow can be viewed as hypocrisy and operating by a double standard.
January 25
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption… So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory’” (1 Corinthians 15:50, 54, NKJV).
Believers have transcended flesh and blood and are now living on the same incorruptible level as Christ. Faith in Him gives us the same victory that He experienced when He rose from the dead.
