“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.
- 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.
- April 24
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). God saw fit to make us His children, even though the fullness of who we’re in the process of becoming in Christ hasn’t yet been completely revealed. We’ll eventually see Jesus clearly and face-to-face, free from the veil of condemnation and everything worldly.
- April 23
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). As we continue to look at Jesus, and not at our performance, the Holy Spirit begins transforming us without any of our own self efforts. This empowers us be ambassadors for Christ.

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Proverbs 16:18, 19).
Adopting a proud attitude sets us up for a fall. Pride is a spirit not from God; letting it infect our thinking can bring us down.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (2 Corinthians 6:14, 15).
As believers, we must be careful about who we develop a relationship with. We can be strongly influenced by people who we spend time with on an extended basis. The wrong influence causes us to stumble on our faith walk; this is especially important for single Christians to remember.

“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, NIV).
We’ve been blessed with sound minds and strong intellects we can use for good in the spiritual fight that all believers are engaged in. Protecting our thought processes from evil influences by meditating on the Scriptures gives us access to supernatural power to overcome philosophies and thoughts that go against God’s Word.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
On our own and without Jesus, we have no hope at all. When we get born again and Jesus comes to live inside of us, our sins are washed away; we can then truthfully say we’ve been made holy and righteous in God’s eyes.
March 3
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11, NKJV).
When we’re first born again, we’re spiritual children needing the simple basics of God’s Word. The more we study it and apply it to our lives, the more we grow in Christ. Diligently continuing to meditate on it brings us to a point where our once-childish understanding of it matures.

“Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel” (Proverbs 20:17).
The phrase “honesty is the best policy” may have originated with this biblical truth. We often bring punishment onto ourselves by giving in to the temptation to be dishonest. Even if we think no one noticed, we’re left with a guilty conscience that follows us everywhere.
March 1
“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” (Proverbs 20:9).
Under the old-covenant Law of Moses—which was entirely works-based—no one could ever truthfully say they were free from sin because no one could make their own heart clean. Jesus did everything that was needed to cleanse us; we no longer have to rely on our own efforts to be holy.

“The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied… Wealth [not earned but] won in haste or unjustly or from the production of things for vain or detrimental use [such riches] will dwindle away, but he who gathers little by little will increase [his riches]” (Proverbs 13:4, 11, AMPC).
There’s eternal value in being patient, consistent, and willing to work an honest job. Conversely, letting greed motivate us to lean toward get-rich-quick schemes hurts us in the long run.
February 27
“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding… The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute” (Proverbs 12:11, 24).
Sloths are known for being slow-moving and doing very little. Being diligent and putting in an honest day’s work is scripturally based and pleasing to God; we mustn’t be like the sloth.
