About

A short and substantive daily devotional to feed your joy in Jesus every day of the year.

  • Better Than Everest
    If you live inside the massive promise of Romans 8:28, your life is more solid and stable than Mount Everest.
  • Two of Our Deepest Needs
    In the Father, you are under God’s care and protection. In the Son, you are under God’s charge and authority.
  • What Binds the Hands of Love?
    Only one thing satisfies the heart whose treasure is in heaven: doing the works of heaven. And heaven is a world of love!
  • If He Calls, He Keeps
    Our perseverance doesn’t rest decisively on the reliability of our own resolve. It rests decisively on God’s work to keep us trusting him.
  • As Sure as God’s Love for His Son
    God will not spare any effort to give you all that Christ died to purchase — all things, all good, and all bad working for your good.
  • When Everyone Deserts You
    When others abandon you, strengthen your heart with God’s inexorable oath: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
  • 10 Results of the Resurrection
    Because Christ rose from the grave, God’s children are forgiven. No one can successfully bring a charge against those who are in Christ.
  • How to Delight in God’s Word
    Never reduce Christianity to a matter of demands and resolutions and willpower. It is a matter of what we love, what we delight in, what tastes good to us.
  • Forever Satisfied
    When we trust Jesus, his presence and promise is so satisfying that we are not dominated by the alluring pleasures of sin.
  • Ministry and the Fear of Man
    Hear God say to you in all your troubles, “I will deliver you. You will triumph in the end. You will be more than a conqueror.”
  • Ignorance Guarantees Ungodliness
    Knowledge doesn’t guarantee godliness. But it seems that ignorance guarantees ungodliness. The power that leads to godliness is given through knowing God.
  • Satan’s Candy Store
    When temptations come, arm yourself with this thought: When my Lord suffered and died to free me from sin, I died to sin!
  • God’s Best Promise
    Whatever else gives way, whatever else disappoints, whatever else fails, God’s all-encompassing promise of future grace can never fail.
  • Jesus Died for This Moment
    If there is any hope for eternity in the presence of God, we need a Redeemer, a Substitute, a Savior. Christ died and rose to be that hope.
  • A Six-Point Summary of the Gospel
    Good news! Eternal life is a free gift to all who will trust in Christ as Lord and Savior and supreme Treasure of their lives.
  • Why We Must Hold Fast Our Hope
    The salvation Jesus obtained through his blood was everything it takes to save his people, not just part of it.
  • Prayer’s Exclamation Point
    Prayer is the confident plea for God to make good on his promises of future grace — for Christ’s sake.
  • Jesus Will Finish the Mission
    Christ can promise universal victory because he is sovereign. He knows the future because he makes the future.
  • Subversive for the Savior
    Since Satan’s doom is sure, and he knows it, we can always remind him of it when he tempts us to follow him.
  • The Triumph Is Sure
    God is so powerful and so gracious that in the end he will turn ruthless nations to revere him. He cannot fail.
