Daily Devotion: We Preach Christ Jesus by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."
- 2 Corinthians 4:5 KJV

It is said of a great artist, that when painting his immortal pictures on the ceiling of St. Peter's Cathedral, he carried a little lamp fastened to his cap on his forehead, so that no shadow of himself should fall on his work. It would be well if we should learn always so to carry the light by which we work, that SELF shall never in any way come between our lamp and our work. We should so relate our own personality to our serving—that it shall never cast a shadow on the things we are doing for Christ.

Daily Devotion: The Brief Gospel by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Mark 5:36-43 KJV

Key Verse:  "As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."
- Mark 5:36 KJV

"Only believe", the briefest of the "words of Jesus," but one of the most comforting. They contain the essence and epitome of all saving truth. Reader, is Satan assailing you with tormenting fears? Is the thought of your sins —the guilty past — coming up in terrible memorial before you, almost tempting you to give way to hopeless despondency? Fear not! A gentle voice whispers in your ear, "Only believe. Your sins are great — but My grace and merits are greater! 'Only believe' that I died for you — that I am living for you and pleading for you, and that 'the faithful saying' is as 'faithful' as ever, and as 'worthy of all acceptance' as ever."

Daily Devotion: Prayer by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Philippians 4:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
- Philippians 4:6 KJV

O incomparable privilege! to be allowed to pour our petitions into the ear of God, cast our cares upon him, plead the performance of the promise, and cast the burden of our sorrows and necessities over on his sympathy and all-sufficiency! The prayer of faith has won more numerous and more noble victories than all the mighty conquerors since war was taught among the nations. Prayer is the furbishing of all the other pieces of the spiritual armor, and as it were the master of all the graces. Prayer is the key of heaven; Elijah prayed, and it was locked; again he prayed, and it was opened. Prayer is the terror of hell, which will put up with anything but prayer. Prayer is the ambassador of the renewed soul—the trumpet of faith—the support of the weak—the employment of the expectant of glory—and the daily exercise of the Christian.

Daily Devotion: Consider Jesus the Apostle and High Priest by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Hebrews 3:1 KJV

Key Verse:  "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;"
- Hebrews 3:1 KJV

The keynote to the Epistle to the Hebrews is “consider Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Messiah.”  It admonishes us to set our heart on Him. The word “consider” (katanoeo) literally means, “to direct one’s whole mind to an object,” to immerse oneself in it and hence to apprehend it in its whole compass” (TDNT).

Daily Devotion: Do Not Be Deceived by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Galatians 6:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
- Galatians 6:7 KJV

In a world overflowing with opinions, voices, and influences, deception can easily find a way into our hearts and minds. That’s why Scripture gives us a clear and urgent command: “Be not deceived.” This isn’t merely advice—it is a divine warning. God, in His infinite wisdom, knows how subtle the enemy’s tactics are, and He calls us to walk in discernment and truth.

Daily Devotion: Suffer With Him by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Romans 8:14-21 KJV

Key Verse:  "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."
- Romans 8:17 KJV

Not as He suffered. Oh, no! there is no curse, no wrath, no hell in the cup of sorrow which we drink. All these ingredients composed His bitter draught. Yet He suffers with us, and permits our afflictions to be called the "afflictions of Christ."

Daily Devotion: Comforter by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: John 14:16-23 KJV

Key Verse:  "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;"
- John 14:16 KJV

The Great Father revealed Himself to believers of old before the coming of His Son, and was known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty. Then Jesus came, and the ever-blessed Son in His own proper person, was the delight of His people's eyes. At the time of the Redeemer's ascension, the Holy Spirit became the head of the present dispensation, and His power was gloriously manifested in and after Pentecost. He remains at this hour, the present Immanuel—God with us, dwelling in and with His people, quickening, guiding, and ruling in their midst.
