Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Romans 8:31

Posted on March 23, 2026

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? – Romans 8:31 (NIV)

The things of life can easily get us down. From being in the middle of bad circumstances to having friends that aren’t sticking with us the way we think they should, day-to-day life can often feel overwhelming.

Here’s the thing we have to keep reminding ourselves. We will never be short of problems. We will always have problems and trouble in our lives. However, it’s how we deal with those things that makes a difference in our lives.

So what do you do when you’re faced with lots of the cares, concerns, and worries of life? Do you let them get you upset? Or do you remind yourself of what today’s Bible verse says.

It tells us that if God is for us, who can be against us? Wow. That’s such a great thing to be reminded about. No matter how big the problem you face, you can know that God is for you. He’s on your side through the middle of the problem, ready to help you out. That’s good news. So don’t get discouraged if you’re faced with a problem. Just be encouraged that you’re not facing it alone.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Psalm 119:165

Posted on March 20, 2026

Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. – Psalm 119:165 (NIV)

I’m usually quite clumsy. I can recall a time when I wore some new shoes to church. In the church’s lobby, somehow, I was able to hook one shoe into the leg of my pants. I don’t know how I did it, but there was no way out of the problem. I was tripping and falling to the floor in front of everyone.

Stumbling in everyday situations isn’t fun. Obviously doing it in front of lots of other people can bring some laughs and embarrassment too.

God doesn’t want us to stumble when it comes to our decisions and in life. And one of the best ways to do that is by falling in love with God’s word or His law. The more we read our Bibles, the more we begin to understand what God is like. And as we do, it helps us not fall and stumble in life.

We all want that. We don’t want to make mistakes in life and stumble, fall, and mess things up. God shows us in this verse that if we read His word we won’t stumble in life and we will be at peace. Those things sound really good to me.

So I encourage you today to determine that you will make God’s word a priority in your life. Reading God’s word brings many benefits and will help you in life. So decide to make time each day to spend in Bible reading and prayer. You’ll be really glad you did.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Philippians 4:7

Posted on March 19, 2026

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:7 (NLT)

God’s best for us is that we live at peace. But our world often feels far from peaceful. Much is going on and it can be easy to become troubled, upset, or even afraid.

We have to choose daily to practice peace. Sometimes that means guarding what you watch and hear, so that fear doesn’t build up in your heart. Other times it might mean being aware of who you spend time around so that you don’t become troubled or upset.

Whatever it takes, be on your guard to keep your heart at peace. God wants you to walk in peace even if you’re going through a storm. So look to Him. Spend time reading the Bible and in worship. Really let the presence of God bring peace to your situation.

God’s best for your life is to walk in God’s peace and be able to share that peace with those around you every day.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – John 1:12

Posted on March 18, 2026

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. – John 1:12 (NLT)

Many times it’s easy to feel like you’re worthless. Maybe someone said something unkind about you, perhaps you didn’t get invited to a friend’s birthday party and it feels like everyone else did. It’s easy to let the things others do change the way we feel about ourselves.

When our self-esteem is low during these times, we can often get into bad self-talk. You might want to call yourself ugly, fat, or worthless. Speaking words like that over your life isn’t good. You’ve got to watch how you talk about yourself because you have value to God.

Regardless of how others treat you, you can be confident that God sees your value. When you accept Jesus, you’ve been made a child of God. To God you have value. As His child, your life means something and you have worth.

Today’s Truth: You mean something to God and have worth.

So today, if you’ve been overlooked, mistreated, or misunderstood, know that you’re important. God has made you His son or daughter. He didn’t have to do it, but He wanted to. He wanted you to be His child. To God, you’ve got purpose and worth. Choose today to speak and act like the person of value you are.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Isaiah 26:3

Posted on March 17, 2026

You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You. – Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)

Peace is something we could all use from time to time. Our world seems to have no shortage of things to cause us to not be at peace.

Maybe things are not going well for you at school, and you just wish something would change to help you be at peace. Perhaps things at home aren’t great, and it just seems like everywhere you turn you’re searching for something to help you stay at peace.

The good news is that as children of God, we can live at peace. Today’s verse tells us that if we can keep our minds on God and trust Him, we can live in peace.

That’s often easier to say than to do. It’s easy to look at all the bad stuff going around and let the troubles of life bring you unrest. However, if you’ll spend more time in God’s presence, listening to a worship song, or reading your Bible, you’ll find it’s easier to be at peace.

So challenge yourself to practice peace today. Determine to be at peace in every situation and circumstance. Not because you don’t have trouble, but rather because you know God and trust Him to help you through.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Romans 5:8

Posted on March 16, 2026

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. – Romans 5:8 (KJV)

One of the most interesting parts of the gospel to me is that God gave Jesus to us while we were sinners. We weren’t made right with God and then God loved us. Instead, Jesus died and when we weren’t right with God and then Jesus made us right.

There is no one that acts like that. No one goes out of their way to help someone when they’re an enemy. And yet, that’s what God did for us.

It makes me so thankful for the goodness of God, when I realize that Jesus loved me when I had nothing to offer Him. Hopefully, this makes you grateful too. Knowing that you are loved by God even when you were unlovely to Him is so powerful. God loved you and made you right with Him.

Today, realize that you’re loved and that God has good plans for you.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Romans 5:1

Posted on March 13, 2026

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, – Romans 5:1 (NIV)

Do you have a sibling? If so, you probably are used to a lack of peace. Sometimes siblings just like to irritate you, don’t they? They know all the things that make you mad, and then just seem to do only those things. With a sibling, you probably don’t experience much peace.

The good news is, regardless of how your siblings treat you, you do have peace with God. That is the kind of peace that really matters.

Peace with God is different than the peace of God. Yes, you can walk in the peace of God, but peace with God is something really special. Peace with God means that you now have access to God. You can talk to Him, and He hears you and loves you. No longer is your sin held against you.

This is such good news for us to remember. Regardless of how difficult those days with your siblings might be, you have peace with God. And that should help encourage you to maybe love your siblings a little more. Because you know that you’ve been forgiven from sin and now have peace with God.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Galatians 3:27-28

Posted on March 12, 2026

for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

– Galatians 3:27-28

Sometimes you can feel limited based on your weaknesses. However, these two verses explain that now that you are a Christian, it doesn’t matter.  We all are now on a level playing field with God. Jesus leveled the field and made each of us significant in Him.

We no longer need to compare ourselves to others or feel that we do not measure up. God offers the same goodness and benefits of knowing Him regardless of who you are and where you’ve come from.

Today’s Truth: Choose to let Jesus be the source of your identity.

Today, ask God to show you in the Bible all the things you now are now that you are in Christ. Choose to allow Jesus to be the source of your identity.

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Esther 4:14

Posted on March 10, 2026

If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14 (NLT)

The account in the Bible of Esther is amazing. However, it can be really easy to read her accounts in the Bible and long to do something big for God. But then you begin to wonder, how do I start? And what should I do?

We can see from the life of Esther that she just did what she saw she could do. She saw that she could go talk to the king about the situation that the Jews were facing. And Esther did it, even though she was a little nervous about it.

The same is true for you. Often doing something BIG for God starts by doing something SMALL you can see to do. Big things don’t always start big. They start as you are willing to take one little step that you can see in front of you.

That’s what Esther did. She did what she could see to do in her life to help her people. And that small thing (talking to the king) turned into the exact thing her people needed to be rescued.

So today, don’t be discouraged if what you see to do in front of you looks small. Just do the step you see to do. As you do, the small thing turns often turns into a big thing.

Esther 4:14

Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – Psalm 32:8

Posted on March 5, 2026

Psalm 32:8

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. – Psalm 32:8 (NLT)

I’ve eaten candy bars before. I’ve eaten Kit Kats and they were ok, I’ve had Nerds and they’re good too. However, I’ve tried Peanut Butter M&M’s and they were the best. Some candy is ok, and then there are some candies that are just better.

In life, there’s a difference between things that are just ok and things that are the best. The same is true with God. There are ok pathways you can take for your life. Many decisions aren’t bad, they just aren’t the best. God wants to show you the best path for your life.

Today’s Truth: God wants to show you the best pathway for your life.

Finding that best pathway takes spending time with God. You’ve got to be open to what He has to say and not be too busy with social media or Netflix to hear Him. Spending time with God helps you know Him better and be ready to hear what He has to speak concerning your future.

God knows you better than anyone. He knows what things will bring you peace. If you’ll trust Him and His leading, you’ll be able to go down the best pathway for your life. So today, decide to lay aside those things that are keeping you from spending time with God. Choose to be real with Him and let Him show you the best path for your life.
