- 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.

“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.
- 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.

“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.

“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” (Psalm 139:7).
No matter where we go in life, we can’t escape God. He loves us so much that He promises to stick by us, no matter what happens. We can try to run away from Him, but there’s nowhere to hide. Regardless of the situation, when we get in trouble and call to Him for help, He’ll be there.
March 15
“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
There’s more—much more—to life than what we see and experience here on earth. For those who wonder if this is all there is, we have God’s promise that He has an eternal reward waiting for His children. Living in heaven with the one who is perfect love means unimaginable joy.
March 14
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
Unlike what religion teaches us, we don’t have to cringe fearfully when coming into God’s presence. Grace is the unearned, undeserved favor He has for us; knowing that He wants to extend that grace to us allows us to approach Him boldly.
March 13
“Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31, 32, AMPC).
To banish something is to forcefully reject it, as in a king banishing an evil enemy from the kingdom. We must forcefully reject any evil issues that can afflict us and keep us in bondage to anger and unforgiveness. Jesus has already forgiven us; we’re therefore to extend that same forgiveness to others.
March 12
“Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says” (James 1:21, 22, NIV).
Evil and immorality are all around us in the world, but believers are to back away from it. God’s Word, which has been planted in us like a gardener plants a garden, keeps us safe. We’re commanded to act on the Word, not just to listen passively.
March 11
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13, 14, NIV).
As Christian soldiers fighting a spiritual battle, we’re urged to stand strong and be on guard against the enemy’s attack. The devil wants us to be afraid; however, when we act out of the perfect love Jesus exhibited, it pushes out all fear.
March 10
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26, NKJV).
Life can be confusing, but we have divine help in making the right decisions. When we receive a prompting from the Holy Spirit, it’s wise to heed that prompting, whether or not we understand it at the moment. He teaches us things the world can’t, because His knowledge and wisdom are infinite.
March 9
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it” (1 Corinthians 12:27, NIV).
Contrary to what the world tries tells us, the church is not a physical building or even a particular denomination, but rather the believers who are part of God’s universal, global church. He has blessed each of us with individual gifts which we use collectively to serve Him.
March 8
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:1, 2, 8).
Walking often involves following, which can be an unpopular concept in the world. However, there’s no better person to follow than Jesus Christ, who did His share of walking during His earthly ministry. Following in His footsteps fills us with light and makes us stand out in a dark world.
