Daily Devotionals
- December 13
“Then Jesus told him, ‘I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.’ Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked, ‘Are you saying we’re blind?’ ‘If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,’ Jesus replied. ‘But you remain guilty because you claim you can see’” (John 9:39-41, NLT). Jesus came to turn the physical, carnal world upside down. Those who are spiritually blind, such as highly religious people, will be offended by His message of grace.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:19, 20). Christ commands us to share His Word—and His love—with everyone. As we do, He goes with us to empower us to do His will.
- December 11
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus assures His presence when believers gather in His name. Even a small group can experience His nearness because He wants to be with us.
- December 10
“Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me” (Psalm 51:11). In the Old Testament, David had to plead for God’s presence to remain with him because he feared losing the Holy Spirit because of sin. Now, we no longer have to beg God not to leave us, because He now lives inside of us and promises to always be with us.
- December 9
“Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]” (Hebrews 13:5, AMPC). God promises never to fail or abandon His people, no matter the circumstances. He’s emphatic about this because He wants us to be confident and secure, without a doubt, about His unwavering faithfulness.
- December 8
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The world pushes many different philosophies at us, one of which says that there are many ways to get to heaven. These are based in self-effort; the only way to heaven is by accepting Christ and trusting in Him.
- December 7
“But now Jesus the Messiah has accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since he is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far more wonderful promises!” (Hebrews 8:6, TPT). Under the law, the promises man operated by were punishment and death for less-than-perfect performance. Under grace, the promises we inherit are forgiveness, mercy, and compassion, even when we miss the mark and fall short.
- December 6
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance” (Hebrews 9:15). Jesus accepted death on a cross to replace the old covenant of the law with the new covenant of grace. Our sins—past, present, and future—have been redeemed, and we’ve been forgiven. We now have access to all the good things promised in the Bible.
- December 5
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). In the Old Testament, there was no one to advocate before God on behalf of man, but that has since changed. Jesus is now the mediator who stands between us and God; He alone reconciles people to God and to each other.
- December 4
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both” (Job 9:32, 33). In the Old Testament before Jesus, man was separated from God because of sin in the garden of Eden. Jesus came to reconcile all mankind to God through Himself and accept the judgment that we deserved.

“Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of the great; for it is better that he say to you, ‘Come up here,’ than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen” (Proverbs 25:6, 7, NKJV)
Considering ourselves as better than others sets ourselves up for a fall. An “I am the greatest” attitude goes against the biblical teachings of putting others first. Putting ourselves last allows God to exalt us.
January 26
“Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures—both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the LORD” (Proverbs 20:10, AMPC).
January 25
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:27, 28).
Sometimes we do more harm than good by speaking without thinking first; the truly wise person knows when to refrain from saying anything. Words are powerful and can’t be taken back once they’re uttered. In a touchy situation, they add fuel to the fire.
January 24
“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).
A humble attitude pleases God. We live in an environment that exalts pride and self-centeredness; we therefore must beware of ungodly mindsets.
January 23
“Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established” (Proverbs 15:22, NKJV).
Seeking quality input before we begin something is the key to well-informed conclusions. Wise leaders never make decisions in a vacuum, but instead surround themselves with knowledgeable experts. This is true at any level of leadership.
January 22
“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:3, NIV).
God wants to grant our requests when we pray, but only if we ask with the proper motivation and without selfish intent. He honors our prayers when we put others first the way He tells us to.
January 21
(Proverbs 12:26, NKJV).
The people we socialize with and spend time with are the ones whose morals and values ultimately affect us. This is a lesson we teach our children, but this Scripture is something adults should also remember.
January 20
“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 5:9, 10, NKJV).
Jesus was fully human just like us, yet was perfected through His obedience to God. This gives us hope that we, too, can be perfected through Jesus when we obey His Word.
January 19
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 54:17).
Violence can happen with no warning and at any time, but those who depend upon the Almighty for protection have nothing to fear. Trusting in God’s Word keeps us in perfect safety; He won’t allow any harm to come to us.
