God’s Mercy and Forgiveness | 1 John 1:9 | Christian Daily Devotional
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
As I was driving in my car this week and listening to some worship on the radio, the song Mercy came on by the group Bethel.
As she sang the lyric was “My past embraced. My sins forgiven.” This suddenly struck a chord with me.
I have a lot of really nasty things in my past, just like I’m sure most of you do.
I try to ignore it, bury it, and even pretend it doesn’t exist. But if you ignore your past instead of embracing it, you could be robbing God of his glory.
We need to embrace our past, no matter how ugly, and lean on God our father who took all of those ugly experiences and totally forgave us and showed us mercy.
He wiped all of the bad things away, so even if it hurts we HAVE to embrace what we’ve come through and what we’ve been rescued from to truly give God the glory and the credit he deserves for showing such grace and mercy to us.
I know I did nothing to deserve a second chance, but his pure love caused him to extend it to me anyway.
Prayer: Father THANK YOU for making me a new creation. Thank you for showing me grace and rescuing me from the sins of my past. I’m so grateful to have been forgiven and adopted into your family as your child. Please help me to spread the word of the glorious miracle of your forgiveness and love and never to be ashamed of my beginnings. May my testimony bring you all the glory! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Taming Your Tongue | James 1:19 |Christian Daily Devotional | Christian-Meditations.com
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
James 1:19
I’ve heard it said before that we should listen twice as often as we speak because God gave us two ears and only one mouth.
It sounds kind of silly, but isn’t it true? Sometimes we let our words come out without truly thinking about them.
I know I’m not the best communicator, and sometimes I say things that are taken the complete opposite way that I meant them.
We should be extra careful with the words we speak because our words create change.
God created us with his breath and his words, and we are made in his likeness.
We, too, create the atmosphere with our words. Strive to speak uplifting positive things and that is what you will begin to reap.
Prayer: God please help me to guard my tongue. I want to be a person that lifts up and speaks life into people and situations, not the opposite. Help me to bring about positive changes by my words. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Living Worry Free | Matthew 6:34 | Christian Daily Devotional | Christian-Meditations.com
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. | Matthew 6:34
We hear this a lot in modern day culture.
“Be present”.
But what does that mean?
To be present means to live in the moment.
Yes it is okay to plan for the future, but don’t worry and be anxious about things you cannot control.
Often we worry about things and cause ourselves much stress over things that never even come to pass!
I think that’s why God reminds us here to be present.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, for we aren’t even promised a tomorrow.
Just stay present and do what good you can do for today.
Another side of the “Be present” coin is not to live in the past.
I have a very soiled and broken section of my past that has been very hard to forgive and leave behind.
Things I’ve done continue to resurface in my mind and through people who knew me when I was in the world.
The bible says in Psalm 103:12 that God has removed our sins from us as far as the East is from the West.
God doesn’t hold our past against us anymore, so we shouldn’t continue to punish ourselves either.
Prayer: God thank you for this reminder in your word to be present and not worry about tomorrow. Thank you also for your love and forgiveness and help me to follow your example and forgive myself and not live in the past. Help me to truly soak up and be present in each moment that I’m blessed to have, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Overcoming Comparison | Isaiah 41:10 | Christian Daily Devotional | Christian-Meditations.com
Ever wondered how you can overcome comparing yourself to others? Try this.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Have you ever heard the saying “I have a lot on my plate”?
People usually say this meaning that they are very busy or have a lot of things to do. But have you ever thought about it like this; plates come in many sizes and shapes.
Comparison is the thief of joy. We are all a part of the body of Christ, but all body parts look and function very differently, don’t they?
We are the same in that we all have different functions and different portions that we can handle. Some people may have very large plates, serving platters even.
They may be constantly on the go, constantly praying and doing good works, and you may see their deeds and feel inadequate by comparison.
However, if your own plate is much smaller but you’re still filling it up, do not look down on the allotment you have been given.
God wants you to be obedient to what he has asked of you, not to try to achieve the exact same things that another person has accomplished.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for using me and speaking to me and filling my plate with tasks that are perfectly made for me and my abilities. Help me to do all that you have asked of me with a cheerful heart and help me to never compare myself to others, but to strive to be the best ‘me’ that I can be each and every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Loving Our Brothers And Sisters In Christ | 1 John 4:21 | Christian Daily Devotional | Christian-Meditations.com
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
1 John 4:21
OUCH.
This scripture can be so simple and so difficult all at once!
God says if we love him, we must also love our brother and sister.
He’s not talking about the family tree here, but he’s talking about our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Sometimes people hurt us, and we don’t want to love those people who caused us pain. God says love them anyway.
I have found that when someone causes me great pain, the best way I can show them love is to pray for them.
To truly pray for their health, wellbeing, success, etc.
After you put this into practice, I think you’ll find that God’s love will help fill your heart, so you can continue to pour it out in prayer and maybe eventually in person.
Some people are easy to love, like our friends and family, and we should go out of our way to love and cherish them also.
Some people just need a hand sometimes, and we can help by donating food to a food bank, cleaning an elderly persons yard, etc.
Do these acts of love and God will surely bless you for it!
PRAYER: God help me to find joy in loving everyone around me. I pray that you would fill my heart to overflowing and help me to be a beacon of your love for my friends, family, neighbors, and even my enemies. God give me the strength and bless me in showing love to everyone, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Overcoming Gossip | 1 Peter 3:10-11 | Christian Daily Devotional
For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:10-11
Sometimes to do the right thing or the good thing is hard.
We are bound by our flesh, after all, right?
Wrong. It can be hard when we are temped to gossip to abstain and do the right thing.
We should always seek to be peacemakers and not cause strife among our people.
It is very hard, especially when you’ve been hurt by someone, to NOT jump on the bandwagon and criticize them or air their dirty laundry.
After all, they deserve it right?
They brought this on themselves.
WRONG.
God commands us to keep our tongue away from evil and deceitful speech, including gossiping.
We should not use our mouths to tear people down but find ways to use your words to build people up!
Be an encouragement to others.
Compliment their strong points instead of pointing out their shortcomings.
I promise you, God will bring many blessings to you if you make that effort to keep your words working FOR the kingdom instead of tearing people down.
Prayer: God help me to use my words for GOOD! Please help me to recognize when conversations turn negative and help me to be the factor that shifts it back to the positive. Thank you for guiding us and using us for your Glory, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

If I Have Not Love | 1 Corinthians 13:3 | Christian Daily Devotional
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:3
Its probably nothing new to you as a believer that our greatest commandment is love.
But does it come easy?
Not always. Some people are easy to love, which I am thankful for.
They always help out, they don’t betray our trust, they are the friend that sticks closer than a brother. But others, oh Jesus!
They test us at every turn!
They betray our trust, they grate on our nerves, and they are a challenge.
But Lord, I’m thankful for these people also.
They bring out something rich and deep within us and brighten our character to make us more Christlike.
God tells us in this scripture that if we give our bodies over to hardship, but we don’t have LOVE, we gain nothing from it.
I don’t know about you, but when I labor I want it to mean something!
To produce something fruitful in my life and the lives of others.
Just try to do all things through the lens of LOVE.
Love others and help them, just as Christ loves us.
Love can be the lens that you use to judge all other things by.
If you love yourself, you won’t feed your body harmful things.
If you love your neighbor, you won’t sleep with his wife or steal from him.
Love always leads to the high road.
Prayer: God help me to love in all that I do. Help me to love myself but also to love everyone I encounter today. Please guide me when the going gets tough, and help me to remember that sometimes I’m not so easy to love either, yet your love never fails. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Power of Gods Word | Hebrews 4:12 | Christian Daily Devotional
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
Sometimes in our Christian walk we encounter troubles.
We encounter situations and feelings that we may not naturally know the answer to or how to get through them.
In times like these I encourage you to scour God’s word for answers.
There are many ways to search the Bible; on the internet, using concordances, asking your friends and family their favorite scriptures on the subjects you’re looking for, etc.
If you find yourself feeling lost, turn back to God’s written word for guidance and comfort.
Most Bibles even have a glossary in the back where you can look up scriptures related to certain topics.
Once you have your scripture guideposts, write them and hang them in places that you will be reminded often.
I like to put mine on my bathroom mirror where I get ready for the day and in my planner that I use multiple times a day.
Having a frequent reminder of what God has to say about these situations you are going through will help you to feel like you are not alone and God is working on your problems to turn them around for your good.
Prayer: God THANK YOU for your word! When I don’t know if I can hear your voice in the moment, I always have your scriptures to turn to for comfort and guidance. Lord help me to lock your words away in my heart so that when I need them the most, they’ll come to the surface. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Not Conforming To The World | Romans 12:2 | Christian Daily Devotional
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect”.
Romans 12:2
On my drive to work I don’t usually encounter a whole lot of traffic.
I drive through the woods watching the sunlight filter through the trees in the most beautiful patterns and I often thank God for his creation.
One day, I drove past a wooded area of tall, straight, limbless pine trees and I noticed right smack in the middle is a twisty oak tree.
This tree’s branches twist and turn into all directions, and it definitely didn’t follow the pattern of the other trees.
Seeing this tree reminded me that in a world of evil and unbelief, we cannot be afraid to stand out and be who God created us to be.
We must soak up the son and then tell the whole world of his loving kindness by being set apart.
PRAYER: God help me to be different from the world and not to be afraid to stand out. You made me unique and set apart for a reason and I pray that fear wouldn’t hold me back from spreading your love to those around me. Help me to remember that wide is the path to destruction but narrow is the gate that we should enter into righteousness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Keeping Faith In Hard Times | 1 John 5:15 | Christian Daily Devotional
And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
1 John 5:15
Faith can be a hard thing to practice.
When we pray in earnest and seem to get no answer for the things we’re asking, it can be discouraging.
But remind yourself of this scripture and the fact that our Father who gives us all good things and works everything for our good is on the task.
We ask and pray for God’s best, and sometimes that means a delay or that he has something even better than we imagined planned for us.
Faith is the belief in things unseen, and if you continue to keep the faith, God is so infinitely good he will answer you in his perfect timing in order to work it out for your best.
Prayer: God help me to be patient when I ask things of you. Help me to wait patiently on you as you work everything out perfectly for my best interest. I have faith that you hear and will answer me in your perfect timing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
