Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – September 18

Posted on September 18, 2018

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” – Romans 8:1 (NIV)

When you receive Jesus, spiritually you are placed into Him. Everyday God now sees you through Jesus’ sacrifice. Because of that, there is nothing left for God to condemn you over. Yes, you might mess up and sin. And yes, you should want to live in a way that is pleasing to God. However, despite your short comings, you do not lose this wonderful position that only God could provide. You have been placed in Jesus.

So don’t give into the thoughts that tell you that you’re not enough or don’t measure up. Regardless of what others may say about you, the truth is that in Jesus you are not condemned. You’ve been made righteous and you are equipped to do what God has called you to do.

Today you can relax in the fact that you’re not condemned if you’ve trusted in Christ Jesus. You’re free and loved and God wants to use you to help others know this great truth.

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; – Psalm 103:11 (NIV)

Today’s Bible verse shows how great God’s love is for us. God loves us so much that He had to use a distance to describe it. He loves us greater than we can fathom. And the awesome thing is all you have to do is receive it.

You might not feel like you deserve it, but it doesn’t matter. God loves you in the middle of your mess-ups, faults and short comings. In spite of what you’ve done, God loved you so much that He sacrificed everything He had just to know you.

So if you’re having a bad day, or just need something to keep a smile on your face, remember that God loves you in a very big way!

Today’s Bible Verse – John 3:2

Posted on January 2, 2018

One night he went to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that God has sent you to teach us. You could not work these miracles, unless God were with you.” – John 3:2 (CEV)

Have you ever noticed how the people the closest to you are often the ones you take for granted? Its easy to forget the things your mom does to help you out, or the way your best friend always listens to you. Sometimes, when you’re close to someone, you don’t take time to think about the things that make that person special. The same is true with Jesus. Its easy to get busy, and overlook all the great things that Jesus does for us. This Bible verse shows us one thing that Jesus does for us, and that is teach us.

Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus is our teacher? This verse shows us that He was sent by God to teach us.

What does a teacher do? They show us things, instruct us, and make sure that we’re learning. That’s a lot like what Jesus does. He showed us the father God in the Bible. He helps us learn who we really are in Him.

So as you go about your day, don’t forget about the fact that Jesus was sent to us by God to teach us and help us grow!

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

– Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

In today’s Bible verse, Jesus is talking about how to enter the kingdom of God. He makes it very clear that we can only do this through God’s ability, not in our own strength. There is no amount of good deeds or hard work that can make us right with God. We needed a savior, Jesus. Through Jesus, God made the impossible possible.

[Tweet “Through Jesus God made the impossible possible – @studentdevos”]

God wants to do the impossible in our lives, but we have to trust Him and believe that what He says is true. Today decide to trust in Jesus and know that if He promised it, it’s possible in our lives. Be encouraged that it’s not in our own ability but through His that these things are possible.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the lord and turn away from evil. – Proverbs 3:7

In the Christmas season, it’s easy to get really busy. We get caught up in the excitement of presents, giving, and shopping. In all the busyness, it’s often easy to forget to include God in our daily lives. Many times when things are going good, we don’t really stop to include God in our day to day activities and decision making. If we’re not careful, we can fall into the trap of thinking that we’ve got everything together in our own ability.

However, God encourages us to not get busy and impressed with what we can do in our own strength. Instead we should be respecting God, spending time with him, and turning away from the things that keep us from Him. To do this, you might have to take a break from Snapchat or binge watching your favorite show, but spend some time this holiday season getting close to God.

[Tweet “Take some time this holiday season to get close to God – @studentdevos”]

Challenge yourself today to spend some time identifying any areas in your life where you’ve become impressed with what you can do by yourself. Choose to give those areas to God and to spend time getting to know God.

“And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?”

– Luke 16:12 (ESV)

You might want to do something awesome for God but you’re waiting on Him to put it together for you. And while, it’s always good to get God’s timing on things, today’s Bible verse challenges us to do something else while we’re waiting.

This verse is saying that a first step is to serve another person’s dream. Get involved in helping someone else reach their potential. As you are faithful in the small things, you’ll see that God will advance your steps little by little.

As you learn to give and be a blessing with the money you have you’ll see that God trusts you with more. So choose today to live your life differently. Determine to start being faithful today with the small things and realize that God will take care of your future.

Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the LORD will lack no good thing. – Psalm 34:10

It’s easy to think that if you serve God, you’ll be missing out. You’ll miss out on the parties, and all the fun it appears that those around you are having. Sometimes it even feels like you have to give everything up to serve God. However, today’s Bible verse shows us a different side of things. We see in this verse, that when we put our trust in God we will lack no good thing.

That’s great news. We don’t have to be concerned about having enough fun, relationships, or anything else. If we place our trust in God, He will see to it that we will not miss out on any good thing!

So don’t get discouraged, and don’t think that serving God is not worth it. Rather, focus on the fact that when you serve God you don’t have to lack any good thing.

Even a young man is known by his actions – if his behavior is pure and upright. – Proverbs 20:11

How are your actions? Its easy to say the ‘right thing’ when you’re around your parents or at church. But what’s the real you like? How do you act when no one is around? Do you slack off? Do you only do the minimum of what is expected? How you act when no one is looking shows your true character.

Your actions are what you’re known by, so if your actions aren’t uplifting and helping others, decide today to make any changes that are necessary. Its not always easy to change, but its always worth it. Its worth it to put the effort in to be a person of character. Choose to not compromise, even in the smallest area. Be a person of excellence and always do your best. Its the small choices you make every day that will set you apart from others. Choose to be someone who is known by good actions!

[Tweet “The small choices you make every day are what sets you apart from others. – @studentdevos”]

Pray: Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I ask you to show me if there are things I’m doing that aren’t uplifting and helping others. I desire to be a person that is pure and upright. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
