| November 30, 2025 Bible Verse “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. John 15:26-27 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Jesus was preparing His disciples for a time when He would no longer be with them in the flesh. He promised the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to live within them and guide them into truth. This same Spirit dwells in us today, reminding us of Jesus’ words, His love, and His power. We need this testimony so that our faith does not waver and so that we remember that Jesus still lives and works through us. As the Spirit testifies about Him, we too are called to share that testimony, showing the world that Christ is alive in us. |
| November 29, 2025 Bible Verse Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. Proverbs 3:13-14 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. Proverbs 10:8 (NIV) |
| November 28, 2025 Bible Verse Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Proverbs 3:7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom. Proverbs 10:23 (NIV) |
| November 27, 2025 Bible Verse Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. Proverbs 1:5-6 (NIV) |
| Takeaway How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? Proverbs 1:22 (NIV) |
| November 26, 2025 Bible Verse The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 (NIV) |
| November 25, 2025 Bible Verse The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame. Proverbs 3:35 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, honor is not fitting for a fool. Proverbs 26:1 (NIV) |
| November 24, 2025 Bible Verse Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips. Proverbs 14:7 (NIV) |
| November 23, 2025 Bible Verse Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 (ASV) |
| Takeaway The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel. Proverbs 12:15 (ASV) |
| November 22, 2025 Bible Verse Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. John 1:16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Throughout the Bible, we see the word fullness used to describe, as best as human language can, our holy God. He is so vast that no words can truly capture who He is or all that He has created and done for us. One of the many blessings we receive from God is His grace, and through Jesus, whom He sent to save us, we receive even more grace. |
| November 21, 2025 Bible Verse I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Paul says in the verses before this that he kneels before the Father, even in suffering. He understands the power of God’s Holy Spirit living in us, giving us strength and endurance. Through this, we can experience the fullness of God’s love and remain whole, even in times of hardship. This prayer reminds us to take heart and trust God’s power working within us. |
| November 20, 2025 Bible Verse For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. Proverbs 2:6-9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The verse from yesterday, 1 Corinthians 8:1-2, spoke about pride and how we use knowledge. Today’s passage reminds us that all wisdom and understanding come from God. True wisdom is not about showing off what we know, but about allowing God’s Word to guide our decisions. When we seek His wisdom, it blesses our lives and shields us from harm. God’s wisdom helps us walk in what is right, just, and fair, ensuring that every path we take honors Him. |
| November 19, 2025 Bible Verse Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. 1 Corinthians 8:1-2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The verse from yesterday is related to this one, addressing another aspect of pride. This time addresses how we show pride through knowledge. Even if something doesn’t harm your faith, it might harm someone else’s. True maturity in Christ means being considerate of others’ spiritual journeys. What we know is important, but how we treat others with that knowledge matters more. Love should guide our actions, not pride. |
| November 18, 2025 Bible Verse For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. Romans 12:3 (NIV) |
| Takeaway There have been times when pride has consumed our thoughts. Who we are, what we have accomplished, or how we live can make us feel superior in some way. Those thoughts come from a place of pride. We are all strong in some areas and lacking in others. This verse serves as a reminder to remain humble. |
| November 17, 2025 Bible Verse Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. James 1:2-3 (ESV) |
| Takeaway Usually, I provide the scripture in the NIV version of the Bible, but this time I’m pulling from the ESV version because I like the phrase “Count it all joy.” How often do we beat ourselves up when we go through a trial in life or fall short of expectations? Consider the counterbalance, be joyful when you succeed and count those times. I bet you’ll see how far you’ve come in your faith. |
| November 16, 2025 Bible Verse I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. Ephesians 1:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Some prayers are not about asking for things, but for understanding. There are moments when we just need God to show us what to do or how to respond. But maybe the answer is found in knowing Him more deeply.His character, abilities, and wisdom are found in the pages of the Bible. In the next verse it says, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you.” When your heart is open and your eyes see clearly, you begin to understand your purpose. Step into that calling and trust that God will continue to reveal everything you need in His perfect timing. |
| November 15, 2025 Bible Verse A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse should serve as a prescription. Sometimes, the best medicine isn’t found in a pill bottle but in a smile or a laugh. I wonder how much of our health and peace are tied to simply not finding joy in the small moments God gives us. So your dose of medicine today is simple: laugh, smile, and find joy. It will lift your spirit and bring healing to your heart. |
| November 14, 2025 Bible Verse “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:1-2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I love the symbolism used throughout the Bible that describes our Christian life in relatable ways. I’m not the greatest gardener, but I do understand the concept here, how a gardener trims away what is dead to make room for new blossoms. God does the same for us. He removes the things in our lives that are not beneficial and clears away what takes up space and resources. That makes room for new spiritual or personal growth. |
| November 13, 2025 Bible Verse I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. Job 19:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Job’s life is truly one of an overcomer. He overcame the loss of his family, health, and possessions. His friends even accused him of sinning, yet he still believed that God would redeem him. Although he didn’t know if it would happen in this life or the life to come, he was confident it would. Spoiler alert, Job was right, and his trust in God was rewarded. I encourage you to read the full book of Job and be inspired by his faith. |
| November 12, 2025 Bible Verse The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out. Proverbs 20:5 (NIV) |
| Takeaway What God brought to my mind for this verse is how deep the ocean is and how vast the plans are in our hearts. We often have grand ideas and lofty goals, but it takes wisdom and insight to bring them to the surface. Insightful people know how to discern which plans should be pursued and have the discipline to carry them out. |
| November 11, 2025 Bible Verse Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Romans 13:7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Just as yesterday’s verse, Luke 20:25, talked about giving to Caesar in taxes or to God in tithes and offerings, Romans 13:7 goes a little deeper. This is about more than money; it is about giving in a relationship. So think about what you need to give today, and give it. |
| November 10, 2025 Bible Verse He said to them, "Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God’s." Luke 20:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The reason I love this verse and its backstory is because it shows Jesus’ brilliance. The teachers of the law wanted to trap Jesus into picking a side between Rome and His followers. The Romans imposed taxes that negatively impacted the Jews, so the religious leaders posed what they thought was an impossible question, asking if they should pay taxes to the Romans. Jesus simply replied with this verse and let them draw their own conclusion. |
| November 09, 2025 Bible Verse Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Romans 13:1 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Think about governing authorities as everything from politics, to work, to school, or any other governing body. We are all under authority. Therefore, we should be careful to respect the authorities that God has established. This verse is a reminder that God is ultimately in control and He places authority where He wills. Even when we may not agree with the people or systems in charge, showing respect for authority is a way of showing our trust in God’s sovereignty. When we honor the order God has set in place, we are living in obedience not only to man but also to Him. |
| November 08, 2025 Bible Verse When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This is so important to keep because it speaks to your character. When you make God a promise, but you fail to make good on the promise this scripture tells us it is better not to make a promise at all. God does not want your empty promises, he wants you to be honest and faithful. This extends to our relationships with others as well. You would be better off not making a promise if you do not intend to keep it. |
| November 07, 2025 Bible Verse For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway We should thank God each day for the grace He has given to us. Grace is not something we can earn, it is a gift freely given by God. We could never do enough good works to deserve it, which is why we can only receive it through faith. Since we have been given this gift, we should also extend grace to others, even when we feel they may not deserve it. God does not withhold grace from anyone, and neither should we. |
| November 06, 2025 Bible Verse Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38 (NIV) |
| Takeaway In the garden, just before His arrest, Jesus asked Simon Peter to keep watch and pray. Instead, Peter fell asleep. Jesus understood the weakness of the human body and the pull of temptation, but He also knew the power of prayer. Prayer strengthens us where our flesh fails. The same command He gave to Peter applies to us today. Stay alert, stay prayerful, and rely on God to give you the strength to overcome temptation. When you pray, God hears you, and He will always provide a way out. |
| November 05, 2025 Bible Verse And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV) |
| Takeaway In this verse we learn that love is the greatest of all time. If you want to know the attributes of love you can read the full chapter. Just in case you want the cliff notes, here they are: Love is kind Love does not envy Love does not boast Love it is not proud Love does not dishonor others Love is not self-seeking Love is not easily angered Love keeps no record of wrongs Love doesn’t not delight in evil Love rejoices in truth Love always protects Love always trusts Love always hopes Love always perseveres Love never fails |
| November 04, 2025 Bible Verse Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:3 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Wisdom is such a valuable trait. It guides you along this journey of life and keeps your light shining. People are drawn to wisdom because people are drawn to light. Let your wisdom shine today and every day. |
| November 03, 2025 Bible Verse For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway When I think about the word handiwork my mind goes straight to woodworking or some handmade custom piece of art. That makes sense because Jesus Himself was known as a carpenter. When we create something with our own hands it is just a piece of work. However, when the hand of God is the Creator we become living and active works, designed with purpose and prepared for the good He planned in advance for us to do. |
| November 02, 2025 Bible Verse The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Think about a path lit with the light of the sun. It is much easier to see everything around you. You can look back to see how far you’ve come. From your current position you can hope for what is ahead. This is in stark contrast to walking in darkness where you can’t see how far you’ve come, and you can’t see the obstacles you are walking into. Let your righteousness shine today and always so that your path will be well lit. |
| November 01, 2025 Bible Verse God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 (NIV) |
| Takeaway God is so much more than our refuge, strength, and an ever-present help. Therefore, this should give you the courage to push forward. Lean on God for these three things and watch what He will do for you. |
| October 31, 2025 Bible Verse And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Not everyone has your best intentions at heart. That is why we should pray to be delivered from evil and wicked people. The Lord is faithful, and because He is not a God of confusion, He will protect and strengthen us along our journey. |
| October 30, 2025 Bible Verse Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12 (NIV) |
| Takeaway With both wisdom and money it comes down to how you use both. What good it is to have wisdom if you don’t use it in every area of your life? Likewise, what good is it to have money if you are stingy? How you use each is crucial. The advantage to wisdom is it gives you the ability to make money and use it properly. Having money on the other hand doesn’t guarantee you will know how to be a good steward over what you have. Those who are truly wise will ask God how to use their wisdom and money. |
| October 29, 2025 Bible Verse For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory. Deuteronomy 20:4 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This is an unfair fight, because God will always reign victorious. The plans of your enemy will not succeed because you have God almighty on your side. |
| October 28, 2025 Bible Verse Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway There is nothing to fear when the Lord is on your side. He is stronger than anything that may come against you, and there is no greater defender than Him. Salvation is found in no other name but Jesus, and when you rest in that truth you can walk in confidence and peace knowing He is your strength and your shield. |
| October 27, 2025 Bible Verse David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished. 1 Chronicles 28:20 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The takeaway from this scripture is how David instructed his son Solomon to do the work of the Lord. This can be seen as the physical work of building the temple, but also as the spiritual work of trusting in the Lord’s strength rather than his own. David provided Solomon with everything he needed for the task, but more importantly, he gave him instructions and an example to follow. In the same way, Christ has given us both His Word and His life as an example. We are called to be strong, courageous, and faithful, knowing that the Lord will never fail us as we do the work He created us to do. |
| October 26, 2025 Bible Verse And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The Lord Jesus wants us to be thankful for the miracles, blessings, and wonderful things He has done. Likewise, He wants us to be thankful for the daily routines. That email I sent, “Thank you Jesus.” Dropping my kid off at school, “Thank you Jesus.” Posting this takeaway online, “Thank you Jesus.” It doesn’t have to be grand to let the Lord know we are thankful, it just needs to be authentic. |
| October 25, 2025 Bible Verse “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Galatians 2:19-21 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This scripture tells us that laws are not what make us righteous according to the Lord. They are important to keep you in right standing with local, state, federal court systems and should be obeyed. Righteousness is gained through letting Christ dwell in your heart and living daily for His purpose not your own. The takeaway is your good deeds alone are not enough, they are great, but not enough. Your good deed needs to be paired with faith. That is what bring you in right standings with the Lord. |
| October 24, 2025 Bible Verse The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Jesus said He came to bring us life. In this world there is a real enemy whose goal is to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus has overcome the world and all its evil so that we may have life in Him. Do not let the distractions around you pull your focus away from the life that Jesus offers. Through Him, you can live a full and abundant life. |
| October 23, 2025 Bible Verse For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:45 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The takeaway from this verse is a good progression from yesterday’s. In society we often see a social structure that places people in a hierarchy, deciding who should serve and who should be served. Jesus, however, took a completely different approach. He said we should serve others, and then He went further by actually living it out. He gave us the perfect example of service, even to the point of laying down His life. Now it is our turn to follow His lead by humbly serving others in love. |
| October 22, 2025 Bible Verse This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 1 John 3:16-17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The takeaway here is that Christ performed the ultimate sacrifice for us by laying down His life for us. Laying down your life in the literal sense would be exactly what it says. If you read on the next verse gives us a practical example of what this could look like on a day-to-day basis. A practical example of what this could look like is to lay down your life by sacrificing something to help others. Seeing a brother or sister that has a need and being willing to fulfill that need. |
| October 21, 2025 Bible Verse Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Hebrews 13:15-16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway God wants us to give two sacrifices. First, a sacrifice of praise to Him, not just once a week during service, but continually. Second, a sacrifice of doing good by sharing and loving others. If you want to know how to please God, there it is. |
| October 20, 2025 Bible Verse Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The thought of Jesus laying down His life for us is overwhelming. How can a perfect God in the form of a perfect man give His life for people who could never earn it? We are not worthy, yet He chose to love us so deeply that He sacrificed Himself for all of us. That is the kind of God we serve. |
| October 19, 2025 Bible Verse Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV) |
| Takeaway We have all lived imperfect lives. We have done or said things that we wish we could take back. However, what is done can be forgiven. This verse reminds us that love covers our sins. Christ sacrificed Himself in an act of love for our sins. |
| October 18, 2025 Bible Verse Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The phrase about being transformed by the renewing of your mind is exactly what we need. Our thoughts are constantly pulled in many directions, filled with distractions, pressures, and worries. If we are not careful, our minds begin to reflect the world around us rather than the Word of God within us. That is why slowing down to meditate on God and His truth is so important. It is in those quiet moments that our hearts and minds are refreshed and aligned with His will. When we allow God to shape our thinking, we begin to recognize His good and perfect plan for our lives more clearly. |
| October 17, 2025 Bible Verse Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. Malachi 3:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Tithing is one of those principles that teaches both trust and obedience. My mom instilled this in me from a young age, and it has become a practice that I deeply value. Not once has God failed to provide when I put Him first in my giving. But the purpose of giving is not simply so we can get something back, it is so that God’s work can be done through the church, and more people can come to know Jesus. When you give, know that God sees it, He honors it, and He blesses it in ways that go beyond what we can imagine. |
| October 16, 2025 Bible Verse “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly f I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Faith is more than just believing, it is trusting fully in God’s power and promises. Jesus reminds us that our faith is the key that unlocks the door to miracles and blessings. You may not need a physical mountain to move, but your faith can move the heavy obstacles, fears, and challenges in your life. When you pray, believe that God hears you and that He is able to do what seems impossible. Faith in Him allows us to see beyond the mountain to the victory He has already prepared. |
| October 15, 2025 Bible Verse “ ‘ “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ’ Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I want all three of these blessing from the Lord on my life, and the life of all believers. May everyone reading these verses have these blessing pronounced over their lives: “ ‘ “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ’ |
| October 14, 2025 Bible Verse Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Every gift from God is perfectly matched to the season and purpose of our lives. He knows what we need and provides it at just the right time. You can take this in two ways: as an actual gift or tangible blessing, or as a unique ability or talent He has placed within us. No matter how the gift is given, it is good, when it is from Him, and it is meant to be used not only for our own benefit but to bless others as well. God does not change, so we can always trust His gifts to be good. |
| October 13, 2025 Bible Verse The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him, Nahum 1:7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This description of the Lord should give us comfort. We know that the Lord is good, good in character and good to those who put their trust in Him. A refuge, a place of safety and protection, is what the Lord is for those who trust in Him. No matter what troubles arise around you, the Lord is good, and He will care for you. |
| October 12, 2025 Bible Verse The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalms 121:7-8 (NIV) |
| Takeaway What I see in these verses is that the protection from the Lord covers me from all harm and always will. |
| October 11, 2025 Bible Verse Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalms 91:1-2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I love knowing that the Lord is concerned with my life, protecting and watching over me. Stress and worry may try to steal my peace, but remembering that the Lord has kept me safe in the past gives me confidence for today and for the future. His faithful promise to protect forevermore is all the assurance I need to rest in Him, because I know I am covered by Him. |
| October 10, 2025 Bible Verse For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, Titus 2:11-12 (NIV) |
| Takeaway It is interesting that one of the first words babies learn to say is no. Why? They pick it up because they hear it often, as parents we use it to guide them and keep them safe. In the same way, God teaches us how to say no. Not to limit us or hold us back, but to protect us. Saying no to the things that draw us away from Him is actually saying yes to freedom, peace, and the joy of walking in His will. |
| October 09, 2025 Bible Verse But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) |
| Takeaway These verses hold a special place in my heart because it is what I believe is the first scripture my youngest son learned in children’s church several years ago. I say it to him every night before I put him to bed. I do it because I want him to always embrace these qualities. The takeaway is if you have kids or not find a scripture to speak over the next generation of believers. |
| October 08, 2025 Bible Verse Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The Christian life requires discipline. To love, to be kind, to show compassion, to remain faithful, these are all part of our training. We are not running for applause, fame, or earthly crowns. Our prize is an eternity with Christ. But this race is not a sprint and it is not meant to be run alone. It is more like a relay. Each of us runs our portion with endurance and faithfulness, then passes the baton of faith to the next generation. The way we live and the way we love testifies to those who come after us, encouraging them to run their leg of the race with strength. Remember, your faithful race today may be the reason someone else chooses to pick up the baton tomorrow. |
| October 07, 2025 Bible Verse Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. Titus 3:2 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Sometimes we need a reminder to be obedient. If you have ever worked for a bad leader you know that not slandering them is tough. However, we are told in this scripture to remember to be not only obedient, but also peaceable, considerate, and gentle. This instruction challenges us to rise above frustration and disappointment. Instead of letting our words tear down those who lead us, we are called to live in a way that honors God through our actions and speech. Obedience does not mean we must agree with every decision, but it does mean reflecting Christ in how we respond. When we practice peace, consideration, and gentleness, we shine a light that points back to Him. |
| October 06, 2025 Bible Verse Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 1 Peter 3:13-17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Someone who does not yet believe may ask about your faith out of curiosity or to challenge your reason for hope. This is a chance to tell your faith story. The storm or trial that you faced and the Lord brought you through could have been for this very moment. How they receive it isn’t within your control, but you can pray that the Lord works in their heart. What they do with the information is up to them, but at that point you have shared your faith and invited them into a relationship with the Lord. A companion scripture to this is Romans 8:31-37, reminding us, “If God is for me, who can be against me.” |
| October 05, 2025 Bible Verse Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:5 (NIV) |
| Takeaway These absolute words such as “all” are where most people, including myself, struggle. Being gentle to all is not an easy task. When you interact with someone, if you knew the Lord was standing near you within earshot would you have the same response? Think about it like this, the Lord lives in our heart so He hears and knows everything. Therefore, yes we should be gentle to all. |
| October 04, 2025 Bible Verse A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) |
| Takeaway How you talk to people and interact determines how they will receive or dismiss your words. Using kindness will always be welcomed and well received. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and likewise say to others what you would have them say to you. |
| October 03, 2025 Bible Verse Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments. Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway As people of sound mind and judgment we often struggle to trust after we have been disappointed or let down by others. The counterbalance is that we have a God who has always been faithful. His love has stretched across generations, proven through His covenant and through His sacrifice. By giving His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us, God gave the ultimate proof of His faithfulness and love. That is more than enough reason to put our trust fully in Him. |
| October 02, 2025 Bible Verse Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 1 Corinthians 4:2-4 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Basically stated, whatever we are called to do we should put our full effort into doing it. Worrying about what people will say or think may weigh on our mind, but what is more important is that we care more about what God puts into our heart. He is our judge, and He is our only judge that matters. |
| October 01, 2025 Bible Verse Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Proverbs 3:3-5 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Video: Proverbs 3 | Todd Dulaney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUhg-w_7Sak |
| September 30, 2025 Bible Verse Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23 (NIV) |
| Takeaway When life presents challenges it is easy to throw up our hands and give up. Holding on to unswervingly is next level hope and faith. As this verse states if He promised it, whatever that it may be for you, He will faithfully fulfill it. Just keep trusting and keep being the best version of yourself. |
| September 29, 2025 Bible Verse Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV) |
| Takeaway No matter how hard we fall, or how hard we think we have fallen, the Lord’s great love and compassion is with us every day. His mercy is fresh, not recycled or repurposed, but new for us each morning. His love is continuous and personal, covering our failures and reminding us that He is faithful. |
| September 28, 2025 Bible Verse Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Psalms 34:8 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse reminds me of walking through Costco and seeing the free samples. You get to try something first to see if you like it before buying the full product. In the same way, this verse invites us to try the LORD and experience His goodness. A sample gives you just a taste, not the whole thing. God offers us more than just a preview, He offers the fullness of His love, protection, and blessing. The verse tells us to take refuge in Him, which means not stopping at the sample but going all in. Trusting Him fully is where the true blessing is found. |
| September 27, 2025 Bible Verse For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 2 Peter 1:5-7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Nothing more needs to be said than what is already written in these verses. It gives us a clear step-by-step guide on how to live out our faith. We start with faith, then we add goodness, then knowledge, and we continue building with self-control, perseverance, godliness, affection, and ultimately love. Each step builds on the other, leading us closer to the life God intends for us. Like the Nike slogan says, “just do it.” |
| September 26, 2025 Bible Verse Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Every opportunity we have to do good, we should take it. This verse reminds us that our kindness and love should reach everyone, but especially those who belong to the family of believers. Often, we can be quick to help strangers while unintentionally neglecting those closest to us. God calls us to care for our brothers and sisters in Christ, making sure they are encouraged, supported, and loved. When we do good to the family of believers, we not only strengthen our relationships but also build up the body of Christ as a whole. |
| September 25, 2025 Bible Verse Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I often wonder how much better the world would be if we embraced this scripture and applied it to our lives. This will serve two purposes if you overcome evil with good you are actively and intentionally taking the high road. Also this will become contagious, others will see how we respond to evil, and it will encourage them to overcome evil with good as well. |
| September 24, 2025 Bible Verse Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalms 23:6 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This chapter begins by declaring, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing,” showing how God provides everything we need. It concludes with the assurance that His goodness and love will follow us throughout our lives, and then gives us the eternal hope of dwelling in the house of the Lord forever. |
| September 23, 2025 Bible Verse But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:4-5 (NIV) |
| Takeaway There is a beautiful transformation that takes place when we are cleansed through our faith and love for Jesus, and His faithfulness in loving us in spite of our past mistakes. This is a love that could only come from God, who loves us so much that He sacrificed His Son to save us. The rebirth Paul speaks of here in his letter to Titus is not something we could ever earn by our own effort, it is a gift of mercy poured out through Christ. His Spirit renews us daily, reminding us that our worth is not in what we have done, but in what He has done for us. Today, let us live in gratitude for that mercy and allow His Spirit to renew our hearts. |
| September 22, 2025 Bible Verse Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I love how this verse says to clothe ourselves in these virtues. It is basically saying to put them on to cover ourselves. Just as clothes cover the physical parts of our body, we should cover our spiritual self in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. When we do this, others do not just see us, they see Christ reflected through us. |
| September 21, 2025 Bible Verse Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway What does it mean to lend to the Lord? How can we lend anything to the Creator of the universe? Jesus explained in Luke 6:38 that when we give, it will be returned to us in abundance. God sees every act of kindness and measures it back to us according to how we give. This verse goes deeper than money. It is about kindness, compassion, and service. As 1 Peter 4:9 tells us, we are to offer hospitality and use our gifts to serve others. And just as Ephesians 4:32 reminded us yesterday, we are called to "be kind and compassionate to one another." |
| September 20, 2025 Bible Verse Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse is not always easy to live out, but it is always necessary. Forgiveness is a two-way street, if we want to be forgiven we must also be willing to forgive. In the same way, if we desire kindness and compassion to be shown to us, we should make it a practice to show them to others. When we remember how freely Christ forgave us, it becomes easier to extend that same grace to those around us. |
| September 19, 2025 Bible Verse You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. James 5:8 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Every moment of everyday day we are one moment and one day closer to the Lord’s coming. Keep living a life pleasing to the Lord, and patiently wait for His return. All that he has promised will come to pass in His timing. |
| September 18, 2025 Bible Verse Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse reminds us of the importance of patience and endurance. You will fail 100% of the time if you give up, but endurance leads to success. A farmer would never plant a crop and then walk away without tending to it, just as we should never start something and fail to maintain it. God sees your good works and blesses them in His timing. So while you are working, keep at it and do not give up, because the harvest is coming. |
| September 17, 2025 Bible Verse But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. Romans 8:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway In this hope and waiting patiently, we can take the time to prepare for what we are hoping and waiting for until it comes into existence in our lives. Therefore, keep hoping, waiting, and exercising patience. As verse 26 says, pray in the Spirit in our weakness and the Spirit will intercede for us. |
| September 16, 2025 Bible Verse Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. Proverbs 14:29 (NIV) |
| Takeaway We have always heard that patience is a virtue, and it is true because patience is not easy. Our lives and culture often push us toward instant gratification, but spiritually all good things require time and effort to grow. How we carry ourselves while we wait says a lot about our character and faith. If we keep our temper in check and choose patience, we will be in a better position to receive the best of what God has for us. |
| September 15, 2025 Bible Verse The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. Ecclesiastes 7:8 (NIV) |
| Takeaway We are constantly waiting for the end of one phase such as graduation or retirement, because we hope for what is at the end. But the close of one season always ushers in the next great season of life. God teaches us that patience is greater than pride, because waiting with patience allows us to see His timing unfold. Patiently wait for the end and look with hope to new beginnings. |
| September 14, 2025 Bible Verse Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Paul ends his letter to the Thessalonians with a blessing of peace, knowing they would encounter trials and hardships. He reminds them that true peace comes from the Lord, regardless of their circumstances. In the same way, we should speak blessings of peace over our brothers and sisters in Christ, encouraging them that the Lord is with them in every situation. |
| September 13, 2025 Bible Verse You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. Isaiah 26:3-4 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The link between peace and being intentional about keeping our minds set on the Lord is strong. If we focus on the Lord, His goodness, and His power, His peace will outweigh any other thoughts that aim to take our peace. When we trust Him fully, our foundation is unshakable because He is the Rock eternal. |
| September 12, 2025 Bible Verse Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) |
| Takeaway How do we let the peace of Christ dwell in our hearts? We must look at the verses preceding this one. We are told to put on love, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and as this verse reminds us, to be thankful. When we clothe ourselves with these qualities, we create the space where Christ’s peace can truly reign. Gratitude then keeps our hearts centered on God, and together these things unlock the door to peace. |
| September 11, 2025 Bible Verse Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 (NIV) |
| Takeaway One thing in life we all strive for is peace. Jesus tells us that He freely gives it to us. The peace the world offers is temporary and comes with a cost we must pay. The peace Jesus offers is lasting because He already paid the price on our behalf. |
| September 10, 2025 Bible Verse Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Philippians 4:4 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Throughout the letters that Paul wrote to the various churches, one theme he repeated was to rejoice and give thanks. I think this was to remind us all to take the time to give God praise and let Him know we are grateful for the many things He has done for us. |
| September 09, 2025 Bible Verse You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The Lord sends us out with His joy and His peace so that we can walk confidently in His will. Just as creation responds to His presence with songs and praise, our lives should reflect that same joy. When God leads, He provides peace for the journey and ensures that His purposes are accomplished through us. |
| September 08, 2025 Bible Verse The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes. The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. Psalms 118:22-24 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Jesus, the stone that many rejected, became the cornerstone of our faith. What the world cast aside, God lifted up as the very foundation of salvation. This is a reminder to us that God’s plans are greater than human rejection and His work is marvelous. Today is a gift from the Lord, so let us rejoice and be glad. |
| September 07, 2025 Bible Verse May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 (NIV) |
| Takeaway There is no greater hope than the hope that comes from God through the Holy Spirit. When we place our trust in Him, He fills us with joy and peace that can only come from Him. That joy and peace overflow into a lasting hope, not just for today but for the days to come, giving us strength and assurance in every season of life. |
| September 06, 2025 Bible Verse Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:14 (NIV) |
| Takeaway What does it mean to do everything in love? It looks like doing things with excellence, with patience, without complaining, and with the intent of helping others even when no one notices. It also means being willing to recognize and appreciate when others act in love toward you. Love is not just a feeling, it is a choice to let God’s love guide your actions in every situation. |
| September 05, 2025 Bible Verse Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13:10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway To be clear, love does not harm anyone. A neighbor is not just the people that live on your street or the coworker in the next cubicle, but anyone you encounter in life. The person in front of you in line, the slow driver in traffic, or even the one who posts something that upsets you on social media, these are all our neighbors. God’s law is fulfilled when we choose to love others in every situation. |
| September 04, 2025 Bible Verse Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Love is easy when it is directed toward a spouse, family, or friends, but we can’t just pick and choose who to love, just as God doesn’t pick and choose who He loves. To be God’s child we must also love all of God’s children. |
| September 03, 2025 Bible Verse Lord, save us! Lord, grant us success! Psalms 118:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway These 7 words should be our daily ask of the Lord. To save us from ourselves. To save us from the harm of others. To save us through a relationship with Jesus Christ. The second part of the verse is asking for the Lord to give us success in whatever His will is for us. True success comes when we align our goals with His purpose, trusting that He knows what is best for us. |
| September 02, 2025 Bible Verse A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold. Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The legacy that we build through honesty and integrity is what this verse points us toward. A good name that reflects trust and respect will outlast possessions, wealth, or status. People may forget what we owned, but they will remember the kind of person we were and how we treated others. Our reputation rooted in godly character is far more valuable than silver or gold. |
| September 01, 2025 Bible Verse “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. Acts 17:24-25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse is another example of God’s selfless acts toward mankind. He deserves everything we have to offer, yet it would never be enough for the Creator of the universe. The beautiful truth is He does not require it. Instead, He simply wants us to seek Him and have a relationship with Him. Unlike the objects of worship Paul mentioned in this same chapter, our God is not made by human hands but is the One who made the heavens, the earth, and everything in them. |
| August 31, 2025 Bible Verse Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This is a continuation of the verse from yesterday telling us what to pursue; this time Timothy addresses those who are rich. How having money is only valuable when you have a willingness to do good deeds with your wealth. That is how you can have treasure in this life and the life to come. |
| August 30, 2025 Bible Verse But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 (NIV) |
| Takeaway 1 Timothy 6 warns against the dangers of greed, false teaching, and discontentment, urging believers to be content with what God provides. It encourages pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness while keeping a firm hold on eternal life. |
| August 29, 2025 Bible Verse If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. James 4:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I love the simple verses that are short but have clear instructions.The verse tells us that when we are knowingly defiant, that is sin. This verse reminds us that God cares about the good we choose to do. To withhold good when we clearly see the opportunity is just as much sin as doing wrong. |
| August 28, 2025 Bible Verse You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Who else would you want to live inside of you besides God? I submit that there is no one else who can keep your heart and mind clear from the issues of the world. When we recognize that God’s Spirit lives in us, we gain confidence to face whatever comes our way. No matter what opposition rises against us, the truth remains, He who is in us is greater than anything that could ever come against us. |
| August 27, 2025 Bible Verse The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:19 (NIV) |
| Takeaway At every phase of our life the Lord is with us. That is what we can take away from this scripture. Just a few verses before this one the Lord was speaking to Samuel. Now the Lord has appointed Samuel to speak to the people. God does the same with us. He not only speaks into our lives but also allows us to be a vessel to speak into the lives of others. When the Lord is with us our words carry His truth and purpose, and they do not fall to the ground. |
| August 26, 2025 Bible Verse Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 1 Samuel 3:7-9 (NIV) |
| Takeaway We can take a page out of Samuel’s playbook. When we hear the Lord, we need to let Him know we are listening. By opening our hearts and responding with humility, God can reveal to us what He wants us to know. Like Samuel, our willingness to say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” prepares us to hear His voice and walk in His guidance. |
| August 25, 2025 Bible Verse I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. Psalms 37:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway No matter what season of life we are in, we can look back and see how God has always provided. His promises remain the same through every stage of life. We can trust that just as He has provided before, He will continue to provide again and again. |
| August 24, 2025 Bible Verse Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. John 21:25 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Can you imagine the magnitude of how many miracles Jesus performed, how many conversations He had with those considered outcasts, and how many lives He touched before, during, and after His death, burial, and resurrection? Now think about how many miracles He is still performing today in us and through us! |
| August 23, 2025 Bible Verse Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20:29 (NIV) |
| Takeaway In our day and time, many people live by the saying seeing is believing. I wonder if that phrase may have been inspired by this verse. Jesus spoke these words to Thomas, who needed to see proof before believing. Yet Jesus extends a blessing to future generations, including us, who would have to believe not by sight but by faith. Our belief rests not on what we see with our eyes, but on what we hold in our hearts. |
| August 22, 2025 Bible Verse Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. John 17:24 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse is part of Jesus’ prayer for His followers. In this prayer, Jesus desires for us to be with Him. He longs for us to share in His presence and to see the glory that the Father gave Him from the very beginning. This prayer shows His deep love and desire for us to remain close to Him, both now and for eternity. |
| August 22, 2025 Bible Verse Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. John 17:24 (NIV) |
| Takeaway This verse is part of Jesus’ prayer for His followers. In this prayer, Jesus desires for us to be with Him. He longs for us to share in His presence and to see the glory that the Father gave Him from the very beginning. This prayer shows His deep love and desire for us to remain close to Him, both now and for eternity. |
| August 21, 2025 Bible Verse My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. John 17:15-16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway It is comforting to know that Jesus prays for us. He does not ask the Father to remove us from the challenges of this world, but instead prays for our protection in the middle of them. Jesus understands the struggles and temptations we face, and He knows how much we need God’s strength to endure. On our own, we cannot stand against the evil one, but through the covering of Jesus’ prayer and the Father’s protection, we are kept safe. What a blessing it is to know that Christ Himself is interceding for us. |
| August 21, 2025 Bible Verse My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. John 17:15-16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway It is comforting to know that Jesus prays for us. He does not ask the Father to remove us from the challenges of this world, but instead prays for our protection in the middle of them. Jesus understands the struggles and temptations we face, and He knows how much we need God’s strength to endure. On our own, we cannot stand against the evil one, but through the covering of Jesus’ prayer and the Father’s protection, we are kept safe. What a blessing it is to know that Christ Himself is interceding for us. |
| August 20, 2025 Bible Verse If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. John 15:19 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The world is like a leech or mosquito, draining you and holding on as long as you have something to give. Once you are empty or no longer useful, it moves on to someone else because it has already taken what it needs. God, however, is the complete opposite. Instead of draining you, He fills you. Instead of using you, He gives you purpose. Instead of discarding you when you are weak, He draws even closer. While the world takes and abandons, God continually pours out His love and strength, even when you feel you have nothing left to give. |
| August 19, 2025 Bible Verse This is my command: Love each other. John 15:17 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Jesus knows the sting of rejection and the pain of being hated by the world. He experienced it firsthand, even to the point of being crucified. Yet His instruction to us is not to respond with bitterness or revenge but with love. This love is not based on how others treat us but on His example and His command. When we choose to love, especially in the face of hostility, we reflect His heart and show the world that we belong to Him. |
| August 18, 2025 Bible Verse You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John 15:16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The first part of this scripture makes me feel wanted and accepted. I do not have to win Christ’s approval, I simply have to be available to do the work He has sent me to do. So whenever I ask for something in Jesus’ name that will allow me to bear fruit, it will be given to me from the Father. |
| August 17, 2025 Bible Verse As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. John 15:9-10 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Imagine being in a loving relationship that is truly unconditional and undeserved. That is not something you have to imagine, it is what we have received from God through His Son Jesus. |
| August 16, 2025 Bible Verse Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 (NIV) |
| Takeaway No other way, no other truth, and no other life can compare to what is found in Jesus. The path to the Father is not through good works, status, or religious traditions, but only through Him. Have you tried Jesus? He offers a life filled with peace, hope, and purpose, both now and for eternity. Your past does not have to define you or keep you from knowing Him. Through Jesus, a beautiful and lasting relationship with God is possible, one that changes everything. |
| August 15, 2025 Bible Verse “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 (NIV) |
| Takeaway One of the many things about being a Christian is that our belief system is not built on religious traditions, but on the command to love. Jesus teaches us to first love God, then our neighbor, ourselves, and even our enemies. He repeatedly speaks about love in Scripture and demonstrates it through His actions and His sacrifice for us. |
| August 14, 2025 Bible Verse For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. Proverbs 24:16 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Being righteous has its perks, like knowing that when you fall, you will rise again. However, the next two verses immediately warn the righteous not to gloat when their enemy falls. Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn His wrath away from them. Proverbs 24:17-18 (NIV) |
| August 13, 2025 Bible Verse “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. John 4:34 (NIV) |
| Takeaway The whole purpose for us to eat is to get strength from the food, nourish our body with vitamins and minerals, and stop us from being hungry. I encourage you to read the full chapter to see why Jesus makes this comment to His disciples. TL;DR, Jesus is at the well with a woman, explaining her life choices and introducing Himself to her. The disciples come to Him and urge Him to eat something. Jesus replies by telling them His food and strength come from doing God’s will and finishing His work. |
| August 12, 2025 Bible Verse Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. John 4:23 (NIV) |
| Takeaway Worship is about acknowledging God in your heart. It is striving to be like Him, honoring Him, and adoring your relationship with our eternal and all-knowing God, then expressing that love to Him. This reminds me of the saying, “Thanks not spoken is no thanks at all.” God wants to hear our true and sincere words of thanks, praise, and adoration for who He is in our lives. That is what true worship looks and sounds like. |
| August 11, 2025 Bible Verse Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. John 3:36 (NIV) |
| Takeaway John 3:36 gives us one of the clearest presentations of the Gospel. It lays out two choices, believe in Jesus and receive eternal life, or reject Him and remain under God’s wrath. There is no middle ground. This truth forces us to confront where we stand with Christ. |
| August 10, 2025 Bible Verse “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” Luke 18:29-30 (NIV) |
| Takeaway When deciding to change lives often as a result we have to leave various things behind. That fact may make this verse a little hard to swallow. When you think about what you may need to give up in your life to follow Jesus it is well worth it. If the people you are surrounded by are not supporting your relationship or actively trying to stop you for having a relationship with Jesus that is what I believe this scripture is referencing. If I'm wrong feel free to leave in the comments your thoughts |
| August 09, 2025 Bible Verse Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips. So that your trust may be in the Lord, I teach you today, even you. Proverbs 22:17-19 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I love when verses start with a command to do something. In this case it wants our attention to those who are wise. Following a wise person leads to wisdom. |
| August 08, 2025 Bible Verse Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.” Luke 8:48 (NIV) |
| Takeaway These two women came to Jesus with different stories but the same need, to be restored. And in both cases, Jesus didn’t just heal their bodies, He gave them peace. In both accounts of these two women, Jesus gave instructions on how to move forward. He told her to go in peace. To me, this signifies not to continue to worry about the past but to move forward with peace. |
| August 07, 2025 Bible Verse Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:50 (NIV) |
| Takeaway If we're honest with ourselves, how often do we think that our good deeds, success, or even finding the right spouse will make us whole? The truth is, none of those things can truly fix what’s broken inside. They might bring temporary comfort, but they can’t bring lasting peace. Wholeness, as Jesus tells this woman, comes through faith. Once we start to learn what faith really means and begin to live it out, then we can experience the kind of healing that makes us whole from the inside out. |
| August 06, 2025 Bible Verse But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7 (NIV) |
| Takeaway I am thankful for verses like Ephesians 2:4-7 and Romans 5:6-8. They speak of the depth of God’s love for us, how He gave us Jesus to be sacrificed for our sins, even while we were still sinning, all to draw us closer to Him. These verses remind us that this gift of salvation is free to us, yet it came at an immeasurable cost. God did it all because of His grace and mercy. Because of this, we should never take His grace for granted, but instead choose to live our lives for His purpose. |
| August 05, 2025 Bible Verse God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:28 (NIV) |
| August 04, 2025 Bible Verse My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. John 17:20-21 (NIV) |

| July 31, 2025 Bible Verse I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 (NIV) |
| July 30, 2025 Bible Verse For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) |
| July 29, 2025 Bible Verse Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 (NIV) |
| July 28, 2025 Bible Verse And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (NIV) |
| July 27, 2025 Bible Verse Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV) |
| July 26, 2025 Bible Verse You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20 (NIV) |
| July 25, 2025 Bible Verse When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.” Matthew 8:16-17 (NIV) |

| July 23, 2025 Bible Verse For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV) |
| July 22, 2025 Bible Verse I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 (NIV) |
| July 21, 2025 Bible Verse Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Revelation 1:3 (NIV) |
| July 20, 2025 Bible Verse Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.

| July 11, 2025 Bible Verse If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalms 139:8-10 (NIV) |
| July 10, 2025 Bible Verse For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:13 (NIV) |

| July 08, 2025 Bible Verse At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:3-5 (NIV) |

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

| June 11, 2025 Bible Verse This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart. Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (NIV) |

| June 05, 2025 Bible Verse In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
