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.

“Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God’s law by transgression or neglect—being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will)” (1 John 3:4, AMPC).
It’s good to obey rulers and authorities, but not all man-made laws are wise and just; worldly laws can change frequently, but God’s laws remain constant. When earthly laws contradict God’s Word, we must follow the prompting of His Holy Spirit.

“A sterling reputation is better than striking it rich; a gracious spirit is better than money in the bank” (Proverbs 22:1, MSG).
Money has no spiritual value; there are things much more important in life than mere wealth—like people. God is pleased when He sees us treating others well using the Scriptures as our guideline.
February 26
“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.
February 25
“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.
February 24
“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.
