Daily Devotions

Today’s Scripture:  

“All flesh is like grass 

    and all its glory like the flower of grass. 

The grass withers, 

    and the flower falls, 

but the word of the Lord remains forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25, ESV 

Theme: We serve globally (even though it stretches us to do so) because our comfort is temporary, but God’s message is eternal. 

Today’s Scripture: “And when it was day, he departed and went into a desolate place. And the people sought him and came to him, and would have kept him from leaving them, but he said to them, ‘I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.’” Luke 4:42-43, ESV 

Theme: When Jesus was urged to stay, He remained focused on the purpose of preaching the Gospel in other places, also. We strive to do likewise. 

Today’s Scripture: “As they were going along the road, someone said to him, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’” Luke 9:57-58 

Theme: We serve beyond our borders and far from our homes because we want to become more like Jesus, valuing eternal things over temporary comfort and security. 

Today’s Scripture: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19, ESV 

Theme: We serve globally because in every season, God wants to bring us along to where He is doing a new thing and making a way.  

Today's Scripture: “And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!’” Romans 10:15, ESV 

Theme: Even if you can’t go yourself, you can send others by generously supporting financially.
