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 3
“I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place” (Psalm 118:5).
Life seems to have plenty of opportunities for trouble and distress, but God is always willing to come to our rescue. When we feel trapped and hemmed in by a situation, we can go to Him in prayer, ask for His help, and He’ll deliver us.
January 2
“We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
God is the very essence of love, which is His nature. Because of this, everything He does is motivated by His love for us. God loved us and knew us by name even before we were born; when we accept Him, He chooses to make us His children
January 1
“Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be” (Job 8:7, NIV).
As we make our New Year’s resolutions and anticipate the year ahead, we have joy and encouragement in God’s promise of prosperity in every area of our lives. There’s no fear of the future for God’s children who live in Christ.
December 31
“That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy” (Colossians 1:10, 11, NKJV).
We walk fully in the Lord when we do what we know is right because it pleases God. Persevering in doing this strengthens and deepens our understanding of His Word and brings us joy
December 30
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).
This is a commandment, not a suggestion. Jesus has the power to walk on water, raise the dead, heal the sick, and cast out demons; through Him we can do all that, and more.
December 29
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, NKJV).
Many people have trouble believing this straightforward and direct promise. Jesus is God, who made all of creation, given to us in human form; the same power that raised Jesus from the dead also makes us strong enough to overcome evil and adversity.
