Today's Devotionals

Father, let us be churches that are known for celebration. Let us set up figurative stones of remembrance so that we can be reminded of your faithfulness on a regular basis. Help us not to forget who you are and what you have done through us.

Feel like you’re falling short? Here’s the biblical reason your weakness might be the very thing God plans to use.

Life comes at you fast—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. God offers wisdom for every choice you face today.

All these small, daily displays of love total up to walking a thousand miles every day.

Only God can bring hope to the hopeless, and fearlessness to those who fear.

Before God deals with other human relationships, He begins with family. “Honor your father and your mother.” Family is very important to God. Few things can bring us as much pleasure in life as our families. And few things can bring us as much pain in life as our families.

I love how the Lord employed unlikely people to do extraordinary things.

September 11 changed us forever. Here’s how we can still respond—with prayer, with hope, and with hearts that refuse to forget.

Go to God before you go to people. Ask Him for what you need then trust Him to provide it. God loves you with all His Heart. He wants you to trust Him just like a child trusts Him as their Heavenly Father.

What would marriage be like if we never conversed? What would it be like never sharing our feelings or our daily experiences with each other? What if we always sat silently in front of the TV? We wouldn’t have much of a relationship. We would be two people co-existing. Roommates. Business partners.

If this season hasn’t gone how you prayed it would, you’re not alone.

Heartache can make us feel lonely as if no one cares or understands what we’re going through. Those negative thoughts mislead us into thinking God isn’t there, and we are left to struggle alone. But the soul-satisfying truth is that God wants to see us whole. He is a God who heals, comforts, and restores our brokenness.

I made a decision years ago not to let bitterness consume me. Some days, it’s hard… really hard. Some days, it’s a challenge to remember the forgiveness He pours out on me, the forgiveness I’m expected to give others. But it’s the right way, the best way, the only way.

We’re safer with God in a storm than anywhere else without Him. I would rather be with Jesus in a storm than in the plushest, most luxurious place on earth without Him.

In case you need this reminder today, if you are following the Lord, you will not miss out on anything He has for you. Look around you. Look at where you find yourself right now. Perhaps life isn’t perfect. It never is.
