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.

“I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well” (Psalm 139:14, NKJV).
We aren’t accidents that just evolved; God, Himself, deliberately made us in His own image. We can praise Him because His works are indeed marvelous. We’re at the top of that list of works.

“If you let people treat you like a doormat, you’ll be quite forgotten in the end” (Proverbs 29:21, MSG).
Being humble and avoiding pride and arrogance is good, but part of having godly wisdom is also maintaining healthy self-esteem. When our self-respect shows through in everything we say and do, others will notice. This makes our message of the gospel even more powerful.

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:12, 14, NKJV).
Accepting Jesus into our life and receiving the Holy Spirit enables Him to reveal to us godly wisdom, eternal truths, and things hidden from the world. The world operates in the natural realm—it can’t understand and won’t accept the supernatural realm.

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” (Hebrews 10: 35, 36).
Obeying God’s Word gives us confidence that we’re behaving according to His will. The world tries to take that confidence away, but we must hold fast to it. When life gets difficult, we mustn’t give up; God always keeps His promises.

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16, NIV).
Religion tells us to be meek and timid in God’s presence, but the Scriptures tell us the exact opposite. Believers have been made righteous and holy through Jesus; because we’re the righteousness of God, we have a level of confidence the world doesn’t have.
September 3
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22).
What we speak certainly is important, but our actions show the world whether or not we really believe what we say. Those professing to be Christians must be careful that their behavior demonstrates their belief and reflects God’s teachings.
