“Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent” (John 6:29). In an unbelieving world, the primary work God calls us to is simply to believe in Jesus, the one He sent. We focus our energy on faith in Him, knowing that belief positions us to receive everything God wants to accomplish in and through us.

“Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4). The Mosaic Law was all about self-effort; attempting to justify ourselves by the law moves us away from the grace that empowers us. Staying rooted in what Christ has done allows His grace, not our works, to define our standing with God.

“For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect” (Romans 4:14). If we try to earn what God has promised by relying on the law, we cancel out the role of faith and empty the promise of its power. We receive what God provides by believing, not by striving, so that His promise remains effective in our lives.

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). God reveals His righteousness to us through faith, not through our performance or self-effort. When we live every day trusting what He has already accomplished, our faith becomes the channel through which His righteousness operates in our lives.

“And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them” (Galatians 3:12). The old covenant of the Mosaic Law operated on the basis of human effort; by comparison, faith under the new covenant of grace depends entirely on trusting God. No matter how good our intentions are or how hard we try, we can never earn true spiritual life through performance; it’s received by relying on God’s grace.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:15, 16). Our affections shape our spiritual direction; whatever captures our love ultimately forms our values. Worldly desires are subtle distractions that can quietly pull the heart away from deeper communion with God.

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Genuine confidence doesn’t come from human qualifications but from spending time in Jesus’ presence. A personal relationship Him gives us boldness that others don’t have.

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you” (John 15:7). Answered prayer flows from abiding in Jesus and allowing what He says to shape our thoughts, desires, and expectations. Planting God’s Word in our hearts and letting it take root redirects our asking with His will.
- April 26
“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires” (Psalm 37:4, NLT). As we delight in God by drawing close to Him and valuing His presence, He reshapes our desires so that what we long for aligns with His will. Pursuing God positions us to receive from Him; He has promised that those who seek Him will find Him.

“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him (Philippians 2:13, NLT). Real change comes from God working within us—He supplies both the desire and the ability to do what He asks of us that we’re never left to struggle in our own strength. The Holy Spirit performs this transformation, empowering us to live out God’s will effortlessly.

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9).
Regardless of what we see going on in the world around us, God’s Spirit guiding us gives us victory, safety from harm, and deliverance from evil. In Him, we have nothing to fear.
May 26
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence?” (Psalm 139:7, NKJV).
When we ask God for His guidance, we discover to our great joy that He’s with us everywhere and in all situations. Nothing is powerful enough to separate us from His loving presence, and there’s no running away from Him.
May 25
“When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ my heart said to You, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek’” (Psalm 27:8, NKJV).
When God talks to us, we hear Him and respond with our hearts. Seeking Him and tuning in allows us to truly feel the messages He delivers. Those messages resonate with power, love, and grace, and we know they are unmistakably from Him.
May 24
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13, NKJV).
This is good for anyone at any age to always remember. Regardless of who we are or what we’re facing, there’s no way we will have the strength and perseverance to face life’s challenges and struggles on our own. Only through Jesus Christ can we overcome.
May 23
“O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33).
Unlike the world’s standards, God’s definition of riches and wealth far exceed mere money; true treasures are found in His Word, which leads to eternal life. His mind is far above human understanding—coming into the knowledge of God can be a lifelong process, and requires complete trust in Him.
May 22
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6, 7, NKJV).
Sometimes it’s hard to let go of whatever issues are causing us anxiety and worry, but when we consciously turn them over to God, He’ll handle them much better than we can. We must resist the human tendency to hang on to problems and try to work them out on our own; completely letting go and trusting Him opens us up to His peace.
May 21
“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone” (Colossians 4:5, 6, NIV).
As Christians, we must remember to model Christ-like behavior in all our interactions with the world. Just like Jesus, everything we say must be motivated by love. We’ll never go wrong when we depend on Him to give us just the right words at just the right moment.

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29, NKJV).
When God calls us to a task and blesses us with the gifts and talents to do the job, those blessings are permanent. Whether or not we respond to that calling and use the gifts in the way He intends is our decision, but He’ll never take them away. The blessings don’t diminish or change, because God Himself doesn’t change.
May 19
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (James 3:17, NKJV).
When we yield to Jesus and let Him begin to influence us, one of the blessings we receive is His wisdom. Unlike what the world has to offer, this type of wisdom is one of the fruits of the spirit God promises us. The giving of this gift is one of the ways He molds us into His image.
