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.

“Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go” (Isaiah 48:17).
When we seek God’s guidance in all areas of our life, we profit on every level. Applying His lessons to our life opens the door to financial blessings, as well as profitable results in all our endeavors.

“Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace” (Acts 18:9).
When God gives us a message, it’s something only we can hear because it’s directed specifically at us. If we respond to what He tells us, we’ll boldly speak the truth.

“And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:2, 3).
Although this Scripture was written before Jesus came, it points to Him. God reveals to us the vision He has for our lives by writing it on the tablet of our hearts. It’s the truth because it comes straight from Him, and will be fulfilled in His time. Believing what He tells us empowers us to run when others can only crawl.

“And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision” (1 Samuel 3:1).
In the Old Testament, messages from God to the people were rare. His Spirit hadn’t yet been given to the general population, but God spoke to Samuel because Samuel’s heart was turned toward Him. We now have direct access to God through the Holy Spirit.
August 15
“That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints” (Ephesians 1:17, 18).
When we get born again, God reveals to us who He is, and who we are in Christ. We receive our divine inheritance as God’s children, and a hope that the world does not have. Our spiritual eyes are opened, and we receive His wisdom.
August 14
“You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you” (Psalm 91:5-7, NKJV).
The world is a violent, spiritually dark place; if we focus on everything going on around us instead of on God’s Word, our courage will fail us. We can be confident that God will never let evil overcome us.
