Daily Devotions

Today's Scripture:  

“Say to the daughter of Zion,  

‘Behold, your king is coming to you,  

 humble, and mounted on a donkey,  

 on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’” Matthew 21:5, ESV  

Theme: The LORD and King comes to us with humility on a donkey, not a war horse, just as was prophesied and came to pass when Jesus entered Jerusalem.  

Today's Scripture: "And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!'" Matthew 21:9, ESV 

Theme: We may praise God rightly while at the same time wrongly imposing on Him our expectations of His Kingdom. 

Today's Scripture: “For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:17, ESV  

Theme: When we think we are rich and self-sufficient, we deceive ourselves, failing to recognize our need for a Savior.  

Today’s Scripture: “You shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you.” Deuteronomy 6:17, ESV 

Theme: Diligent attention to His commands is a sign of respect and honor for the LORD. Obeying His Word in turn brings us light and life. 

Today’s Scripture: “And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Hebrews 6:11-12, ESV 

Theme: Earnestness, not sluggishness, embodies those patient, faithful ones who inherit the promises.
