The Promise of Salvation Daily Reading: (Romans 10:9): “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Today’s promise of salvation is one that we are tempted to move past as believing it is a past event that we will experience in our future and miss the salvation God has promised to give you today. It is a huge victory to know that you have salvation and to put your trust in Christ alone. If y

The Promise to Meet Our Every Need Daily Reading: (Philippians 4:19): “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” This is a grand promise that I believe has confused a lot of people because there are things, we think we need that we don’t, and aren’t considered needs. When it comes to a verse like Philippians 4:19 and the promise of God to meet our every need, I think one of the issues we might have has to do with our understand

Troubled and Peace Daily Reading: (John 14:1, 27, John 16:33): “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” What I absolutely love about this text is that t

Worry and Trust Daily Reading: (Psalm 112:7-8 Matthew 6:33-34): “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.” “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” “They w

Joy and Sadness Daily Reading: (Psalm 30:11-12, Jeremiah 31:13): “You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.” “Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.” David wrote in the same chapter a few verses earlier “Sing praises t

Free From Condemnation Daily Reading: (Romans 8:1): “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Who wouldn’t want no condemnation? Every single one of us has done things and said things that we wish we would not have. Romans 8:1 is grace in a nutshell that God will not count my sins against me. I deserve to be punished for my sins. I deserve to be separated from God forever. I should be forever condemned but God gave me what I didn’t deserve w

More than Conquerors Daily Reading: (Romans 8:37): “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Cyrus the Great, and even Hitler what did all these men all have in common. They were all conquerors. When we hear the word conqueror we might think of ones of these individuals, but the chances are we might not think of ourselves in that way. You are not just a conqueror, but more than a

Stability in the Stillness Daily Reading: (Psalm 37:1,3-5,7): “Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways.” The Psalm starts off wi

Peace of Christ Daily Reading: (Colossians 3:15-17): “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God th

Peace with God Daily Reading: (Romans 5:1-2): “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.” Before we received salvation through Christ we were not at peace with God and it was impossible for peace to be with us. Sin had separated us from a holy and righteous God. Right away the first

Daily Reading: (Acts 16:4-10): “As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but

Daily Reading: (Acts 13:1-5): “Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. The two of them, sent on their w
