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.

“Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers and trees all over the earth, Bans war from pole to pole, breaks all the weapons across his knee. ‘Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything’” (Psalm 46:8-10, MSG).
When we distance ourselves spiritually from the hustle and bustle of the world and shift our focus to God, we can see clearly all that He has done and continues to do. We’ll see the truth globally, as well as on a personal level in our own lives. There’s no one higher or greater than Him.

“May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope” (Romans 15:13, AMPC).
A true relationship with God evokes such peace and joy that we can’t possibly understand the depths of it with our intellectual minds. The hope we find in Him has no doubt or uncertainty attached but is rooted in the knowledge of the truth of the gospel.

“Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another” (Ephesians 4:25).
As believers in the body of Christ, we’re to be truthful with each other in every situation. The devil will try to use lies and deception to divide us and bring us down, but when we rely on the Holy Spirit, we’re victorious against the attacks of the enemy.

“You can’t whitewash your sins and get by with it; you find mercy by admitting and leaving them” (Proverbs 28:13, MSG).
When we do something we know is wrong, we may be able to fool the world, and even ourselves for a while, but not God. There’s no hiding anything from Him because He can see straight into our hearts and minds. The wisest thing to do is honestly admit our mistake and move on.
February 6
“These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace; Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ Says the Lord” (Zechariah 8:16, 17, NKJV).
Christians are on display, and the world is watching us. Our behavior should reflect the behavior of the Prince of Peace, who demonstrated by example how to embrace peace, truth, and justice.

“In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble” (Proverbs 15:6).
This was written back in the days of King Solomon, and it’s still true today. The righteous who live according to God’s standards are blessed with treasures that far exceed just money. When we see people who make money their god, we see the curses their choice brings on their lives.
