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.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
God doesn’t expect us to live perfect lives without making any mistakes; that’s why He extends His undeserved, unearned favor toward us. The more we miss the mark, the more opportunities He has to show up when we need Him and give us strength that we don’t have on our own.

“However, I am telling you nothing but the truth when I say it is profitable (good, expedient, advantageous) for you that I go away. Because if I do not go away, the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you [into close fellowship with you]; but if I go away, I will send Him to you [to be in close fellowship with you]” (John 16:7, AMPC).
We can’t possibly expect to live a successful life on our own without help from the Holy Spirit. He’s the Spirit of God Himself living in us; fellowshipping with Him guarantees that nothing will be able to overcome us.

“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found’” (Luke 15:31, 32, NKJV).
God’s children have been given the mission of spreading the Gospel of Grace to a lost world that doesn’t know Him. It is a cause for celebration in heaven when even one soul is saved.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1, NIV).
We’ve all had moments when we realized we made a bad decision and felt tempted to beat ourselves up over it. However, Jesus went to the cross and took all the condemnation meant for us so that we wouldn’t have to suffer the pain of self-condemnation.

“This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:23).
God is a good God, and He’s always waiting for opportunities to intercede and do good things for us. His work is unmistakable; when we notice breakthrough that we’re not responsible for and could never achieve on our own, we need to pause and give Him the credit.

“Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back” (Luke 6:38, NLT).
We don’t ever have to be afraid to give financially; generous giving positions us to receive the blessings Jesus has already made available to us. We can give with confidence because we can never outgive God.
