Daily Devotionals
- May 5
“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.
- May 2
“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.
- May 1
“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.
- April 29
“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.
- April 28
“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.
- April 27
“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.
- April 25
“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.

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMPC).
If we can correctly analyze the Bible, we can also incorrectly analyze it. What was true under the law may no longer be true under grace. It’s important to know where the Old Testament stops and the New Testament begins so that we don’t find ourselves living under the old, expired law.
April 20
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises” (Hebrews 8:6).
The new covenant of grace surpasses the law because the promises in it lead to life, not death. The old covenant was administered by long lists of rules and involved mediation by human priests; Jesus Himself, is now our mediator.
April 19
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth” (Hebrews 9:16, 17).
It was necessary for Jesus to die in order to put the New Testament in force. The cross was the defining line between the old covenant of the law and the new covenant of grace.
April 18
“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city” (Proverbs 16:32, AMPC).
A person with no emotional control is the weakest person on the planet. If we can control our feelings instead of letting them control us, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.
April 17
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7).
The danger of making decisions based on our emotions is that our feelings can lead us in the wrong direction and get us in trouble. Mastering our emotions leads to self-control, which is one of the fruits of the spirit.
April 16
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8).
When we’re in Christ and He’s in us, we’re in the safest place in the universe: His presence. We don’t have to fear death because when we slip out of our bodies, we’ll instantly find ourselves standing before Him in heaven.
April 15
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2).
Our souls are where our emotions reside. God wants us to exercise the authority He gave us in the emotional realm. When we succeed in controlling our emotions, we prosper in other areas of our lives as well.
April 14
“You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever” (Psalm 16:11, NLT).
Living apart from God isn’t really living, just existing. God wants us to enjoy His presence now, while we’re still on earth, and then spend eternity with Him in heaven.
April 13
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31, 32).
Our God is a generous God who gives His love and all the best of heaven freely. Generosity is His nature; there’s nothing that He won’t give—not even His own Son.
