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.
April 7
“But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ” (Ephesians 2:13, NLT).
Jesus shed His blood so that we would never again be separated from God like those in the Old Testament. God is no longer a harsh judge, but now a loving Father who wants a relationship with us.
April 6
“Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble” (Proverbs 17:17, MSG).
God wants the best for us. This includes the blessing of godly friendships and enduring family relationships.
April 5
“Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few” (Ecclesiastes 5:2).
We can sin with our mouths by speaking carelessly and hurting others with what we blurt out. A sign of emotional maturity is knowing when to hold our tongue.
April 4
“And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately” (Acts 9:32-34).
It’s not God’s will that we tolerate sickness; He therefore gave us the same healing power that He gave to Jesus Christ. We have the same ability to get results as the apostles.
April 3
“Praise the Lord! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever” (Psalm 106:1, NLT).
Unlike imperfect human love, God’s love is perfect and unconditional. Even when we’re struggling to love ourselves because of a mistake we’ve made, His love always welcomes and accepts us; this is truly a reason to be thankful.
April 2
“Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. Grace be with you all” (1 Timothy 6:20, 21, NIV).
Paul wanted to warn against the influences worldly philosophies can have on a Believer’s way of thinking. This is timeless advice because countless theories that go against the Word of God can infiltrate our mind. What begins in the mind eventually works its way into the heart.
