Daily Devotionals

A daily devotional is a trusted guide, and it is an invitation to nurture your spiritual life. Devotionals include a Bible verse, a reflection on that verse, and usually a short prayer. They can be inspiring, comforting or even humorous. When you make time to read a daily devotion, you make space for your soul. A daily devotional offers a chance to take a break from the busy world and connect with God. Let your daily devotions lead your spiritual life forward.

Bring Joy to Others

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”—Acts 20:35 (NIV)

Are you generous in spirit? Do you offer a kind word, thought and prayer to those around you? Do you give your all to everything you do? Ask God to show you who could use a helping hand today—and feel His love flow through you as you bring joy to others.

Heavenly Father, when I share Your light with others, I feel truly blessed by You.
