“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.”
- July 20
“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.
- July 17
“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.

“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.
March 6
“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.
March 5
“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.
March 4
“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.
March 2
“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.
