Read the Instructions
God has given us an instruction manual, the Bible. Build your life on His word and it will stand strong no matter what comes. This devotional keeps me accountable to staying in it too.
relationshipJuly 28, 2026
He Wants to Stay for Dinner
Following Jesus isn't a religion or a barter. He doesn't just hand you a ticket to heaven and move on, His plan is to come in and stay for dinner. So make room.
courageJuly 27, 2026
Not a Suggestion
God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Courage isn't something you work up on your own, it's your inheritance. Fear was never part of the package.
courageJuly 24, 2026
God Is With Me, Always
After a week of letting go and trusting God's plan, Joshua 1:9 sends us into the weekend with a simple thought: God is with me, always. Nothing can stop us.
burdensJuly 23, 2026
Bear One Another's Burdens
Kathryn Ledford, a member of our Be Nice Grace Wins family, is fighting colorectal cancer for the third time. Bear one another's burdens. Give, pray, or send encouragement.
prayerJuly 22, 2026
Soliciting vs. Understanding
We say Lord willing, but do we actually trust His answers? Prayer and trust go hand in hand. I'm trying to spend my prayer time understanding God rather than soliciting Him.
waitingJuly 21, 2026
A Better Script
Waiting is boring and passive, and we want things now. But waiting on God builds trust and lets us see His will unfold. When I am ready, He unfolds a script beyond anything I could write myself.
purityJuly 20, 2026
Clean the Inside
Purity isn't about looking clean on the outside, it's an internal state that produces right action. What areas of your life need cleaning up? I know where I can start.
repentanceJuly 17, 2026
Sorry Enough to Change
There's a big difference between saying sorry and actually being sorry. Repentance means turning away from the wrong, sorry enough to change. God's love means He will always forgive us.
forgivenessJuly 16, 2026
Give Up the Right to Get Even
Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting, it means giving up the right to get even. Stop keeping score. Will you fail at this? Every day. But every day starts a new journey. Start with forgiving yourself.
graceJuly 15, 2026
We Got It
Paul worked harder than any of them, but knew it wasn't him, it was grace. We don't work hard to get grace, we work hard because we got it. Let your work be worship.
confessionJuly 14, 2026
Retreat or Restore
After our greatest failures, we want to hide. But hiding means nobody helps clean up the mess. Real men own up, confess, and let God cleanse. Retreat or repent and restore, what will you choose?
sufferingJuly 13, 2026
Now My Eye Sees You
Job had it worse. Everything was stripped from him, and yet he came to truly know God. We don't need to understand why we suffer, our job is to remember daily that God is sovereign.
witnessJuly 10, 2026
The Only Bible They'll Read
If someone followed you around all day, would they find Jesus? Not church, not rules, not your favorite preacher, would your life lead them to Jesus? You might be the only Bible some people read.
renewalJuly 9, 2026
Self-Corrected
Our lives are driven by our strongest thoughts. But through faith in Christ, we don't have to stay stuck in the negative. A little prayer, and we're back on track. Where is your mind today?
hopeJuly 8, 2026
The Hope That Is In You
What are you really into? What do you talk about? I want to be known for the hope that is in me. The hope that is Jesus. Who can you tell today?
self-denialJuly 7, 2026
Selfless
Every screen tells us to love self, focus on self, better self. Jesus says the opposite. Deny self. When there's more of God, you're Selfless.
compassionJuly 6, 2026
Angels Unawares
I pray nightly for compassion, especially toward those who oppose me. Compassion isn't giving up on truth. It's loving people while staying rooted in the Word. Some have entertained angels unawares.
scriptureJuly 3, 2026
Don't Stop With My Ramblings
The daily writing has kept me in the Word, and I hope it's kept you there too. But don't stop with my ramblings. Abide in the vine. Get into the Bible yourself. Happy Independence Day.
speechJuly 2, 2026
Nothing Nice to Say
Death and life are in the tongue. What comes out of the mouth flows from what's stored in the heart. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Turns out that was the whole thing.
mindJuly 1, 2026
Take Every Thought Captive
Loss makes the dark thoughts show up fast. We have to take every thought captive and gauge it against God's Word. Paul told us what to think about. Ask God to help. He will.
responsibilityJune 30, 2026
What's Yours to Carry
We duck responsibility, delegate it, blame someone else. We've been doing it since the Garden. But we can't dodge our own load. We get to choose how we respond, and God holds us to it.
humilityJune 29, 2026
Just Let Him Have It
How humble are you? David wasn't perfect, but he was humble enough to come back. Jesus humbled Himself to the cross. So humble yourself and come back to Him. He's got you. Just let Him have it.
faithJune 26, 2026
I Got This Boys
The world demands proof. But Christians walk by faith, not by sight. When the seas crash, Jesus comes in like a relief pitcher saying I got this boys. Look beyond the raging seas.
