Today’s Devotional: “Retaliation” In 2021, I saw a powerful message at the remains of the World Trade Center. It was a Bible fused into a heart-shaped piece of steel.

Today’s Devotional: “Keep Your Word” Do circumstances determine whether we keep our promises? If circumstances change, can we break our word?

Today’s Devotional: “We Need Guidance” Accepting that we need help is hard because we dislike admitting we’re lost and asking for directions. So we keep going, more confused than before.

Today’s Devotional: “‘But If Not’ Faith” It’s all about having a “but if not” faith. This was the faith three young Jewish men had when facing possible death.

Today’s Devotional: Consequences and Deliverance for Faithfulness Nebuchadnezzar, king and ruler of Babylon, had just erected a golden image and commanded everyone, including his leaders, to bow down and worship it.

Easter Devotional: “A Renewed Hope” Two of Jesus’s disciples were walking down a road after His death and resurrection. They were feeling what most feel today—exhausted, empty, and trapped.

Today’s Easter Devotional: “A Hope that Lives” Hope is to our spirits what oxygen is to our bodies. When we don’t have enough oxygen to breathe, we die. When we don’t have hope, our spirit dies.

Today’s Devotional: “Why Do You Seek Jesus?” People followed Jesus because of the miraculous signs He did in healing the sick.
