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.

“Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them” (Colossians 3:19).
As husbands striving for a Christ-centered marriage, we are to show God’s love to our wives daily. This excludes holding grudges, holding on to anger, and hurting our spouse through petty squabbles.

“It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman” (Proverbs 21:9, 19).
As wives, we have the power to maintain peace in the household with our attitudes. We can make sure that our thoughts and behavior comply with those of Jesus, who set the perfect example for us.

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:26, NKJV).
Meditating on the Scriptures and applying them to our lives allows them to change our way of thinking. What we think eventually takes root and grows in our heart, so that we can reflect the same love and compassion as Jesus Himself. We’re transformed from the inside out, and our spirits are renewed.

“A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart” (Proverbs 21:2, NIV).
If we take the world’s advice to “follow your heart” without first aligning it with the Scriptures, we could unwittingly take the wrong path in life. We may rationalize and think we’re doing the right thing, but God knows our true motives even better than we know them ourselves.
February 22
“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people’” (Jeremiah 31:33, NKJV).
As believers who belong to God, we have His law of love established in our minds and written in our hearts. His Holy Spirit, which is our conscience, guides us in our daily lives and helps us remember what we need to know in our dealings with others.

“‘At the same time,’ says the Lord, ‘I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.’ The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: ‘Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:1, 3, NKJV).
This promise was made when the Law of Moses was still in effect, but it remains relevant even today. When we accept Jesus for who He is, our faith makes us part of God’s family. God fashioned us out of love for us because love is part of His divine nature.
