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.
January 25
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:27, 28).
Sometimes we do more harm than good by speaking without thinking first; the truly wise person knows when to refrain from saying anything. Words are powerful and can’t be taken back once they’re uttered. In a touchy situation, they add fuel to the fire.
January 24
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14).
Although Jesus is God, He loves us so much that He chose to take on a physical body made of flesh and blood so He could be human just like us and experience the same things we experience. He did this to save us from death.
January 23
“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:39).
After His resurrection, Jesus had a glorified body; this gives us a glimpse of what our bodies will be like when we get to heaven. We’ll have the same kind of physical body He has.
January 22
“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God” (1 John 4:15).
Faith in Jesus as God’s only Son is an integral part of the covenant of grace. Trusting in Him makes us one with Him.
January 21
“And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ” (2 Thessalonians 3:5).
While we wait for Jesus to come back, we can live our lives directed and governed by God’s love. This is completely different than under the old covenant in which the peoples’ lives were directed by a long list of rules and regulations.
January 20
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).
The Spirit of God gives us boldness and confidence, and equips us to live life to the fullest. While others live in fear, believers enjoy the power and authority only God can give.
