“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor” (1 Peter 5:6, NLT). God promises to exalt us, but this comes in His timing, not ours. Learning to live according to His schedule takes patience and a shift in our mindset.

“And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’ So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:6, 7 NLT). Humility is the gateway to receiving God’s grace; by comparison, pride puts us in opposition to God. Spiritual authority begins with our submission—first to God, then resistance against the devil becomes effective.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19). Personal decisions often affect future generations, influencing families and communities. The instruction to “choose life” reveals God’s desire for people to walk in obedience and receive His blessing.

“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8, NLT). The devil seeks opportunities to bring discouragement, temptation, deception, and destruction. This comparison to a roaring lion emphasizes the seriousness of spiritual warfare.

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:6, 7). Salvation is entirely the work of God’s grace, not human achievement. He accepts us because we’re united with Christ, “the beloved.”

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). God initiated His love toward us long before humanity responded to Him. The sending of Jesus demonstrates the depth and sacrifice of the Father’s love.
- July 19
“For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith” (1 John 5:4, NLT). As believers, we’re overcomers because of our relationship with God. Being His children gives us a supernatural advantage in an environment where the odds are against us.
- July 18
“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). Death isn’t separation from God but entrance into His presence. We can therefore face this transition with hope because our future with God is secure.

“Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven” (Luke 10:19, 20, NLT). Snakes and scorpions symbolize victory over dangerous spiritual opposition. Jesus taught that salvation is more important than supernatural demonstrations of power.

“In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere” (Ephesians 6:10-12, AMPC). We’re commanded to rely on God’s strength rather than our own human ability or self-confidence. God’s armor is necessary because the enemy uses strategies, deception, and spiritual opposition against believers.

“He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich” (Proverbs 10:4, AMPC).
In our imperfect world, we see lazy people with the ability to hold a job, but choose not to. God gives us the power to get wealth, and He rewards diligence and a willingness to put in an honest day’s work.

“Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of your pasture with your feet? Is it not enough for you to drink clear water? Must you also muddy the rest with your feet? Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have muddied with your feet?” (Ezekiel 34:18, 19, NIV).
God issued this reprimand to the Old-Testament leaders who selfishly put themselves first before the people they were charged with leading, but this still applies today. There are self-centered leaders not only in the world who only care for their own interests, but sometimes even in the church.

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
The world relies on its own brand of intellectual knowledge to get by; this type of knowledge is devoid of God’s wisdom and can shift and change at any time. The gift of spiritual discernment is required for us to understand His teachings.
March 13
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8, 9).
Trouble is part of life. We all feel discouraged occasionally; even the apostle Paul felt it from time to time. However, having a biblical perspective on this emotion helps us maintain our authority over it.
March 12
“Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?” (1 Kings 3:9).
King Solomon, known far and wide for his wisdom and faithfulness to God, prayed this. Solomon could have asked for and received anything he wanted, yet he was wise enough to ask God for the gift of discernment.
March 11
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1).
Spiritual discernment is a gift from God and is something every wise person should earnestly pray for. Without this supernatural ability, it’s impossible to tell the difference between the lies the world passes off as truth, and the eternal truths that undergird His spiritual laws.
March 10
“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir” (Galatians 4:4-7, NIV).
Jesus rescued us from having to live under the Law of Moses, which focused on self-effort and punishment. Because of His death and resurrection, we’re now living under grace, which focuses not on what we do, but on what He did through His love for us. Believers are now God’s children.
March 9
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26).
Without faith in Jesus and in what He did to give us eternal life and reopen the gates of heaven to us, we are part of a dying world. Our trust in God changes our family tree on a supernatural level, making us brothers and sisters to Christ Himself.
March 8
“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility” (Proverbs 18:12).
A proud, haughty attitude displeases God, and we create problems for ourselves when we operate in pride. We demonstrate true humility when we agree with what His Word says.
