Daily Devotions

Today's Scripture: “When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work.” Nehemiah 4:15, ESV  

Theme: Don’t be distracted by enemies and their plans. When God moves to allow your work to continue, faithfully return to that work.  

Today's Scripture: “Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.” Jude 1:24-25, ESV  

Theme: Doing what God has called us to while avoiding negativity is made possible, not by our own strength or authority, but in His. 

Today's Scripture: “But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.” Jude 1:20-21, ESV 

Theme: Avoiding the negative is necessary. We do this by building something different: faith, prayer life, staying within God’s love, and remembering we don’t have anything without Jesus’ mercy. 

Today’s Scripture: “They said to you, ‘In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.’ It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit.” Jude 1:18-19, ESV 

Theme: Negative, complaining, and/or sarcastic comments cause trouble and division. Don't be distracted or join in the negativity; follow the Holy Spirit’s leading instead. 

Today’s Scripture: “I also persevered in the work on this wall, and we acquired no land, and all my servants were gathered there for the work.” Nehemiah 5:16, ESV 

Theme: Work diligently alongside those you lead because of your integrity and love for God, not in pursuit of affluence or respect.
