Proverbs 31 is often discussed as “the virtuous woman,” but the core of the chapter is bigge

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 30 of 31) Proverbs 30 — Theme: Give me what I can steward Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 30:8–9 “Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God.” Reflection Proverbs 30 is one of the most honest prayers in the Bible. It’s not showy. It’s not greedy. It’s a prayer for

Day 30 of 31 — John 20 Theme: From Grief to Glory Scripture (John 20:16, 29, NKJV) “Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’” “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Devotional John 20 opens in the quiet ache of grief. Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb expecting death—and finds it empty. At first, she assumes the worst: someone has taken the body. Then Jesus speaks her name: “Mary.” In a single word, sorrow turns to joy, confusion gives way to clarity, and despair is re

Jan 29,2026- Nightly Devotional Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 29 of 31) Proverbs 29 — Theme: Correction is love that refuses to quit Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 29:17 “Correct your son, and he will give you rest; Yes, he will give delight to your soul.” Reflection Proverbs 29 speaks to something that’s hard in the moment but beautiful in the long run: loving correction.

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 25 of 31) Proverbs 25 — Theme: God’s timing is wisdom Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 25:11 “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver.” Reflection Not every true thing needs to be said right now. And not every strong opinion needs a microphone. Proverbs 25 teaches that wisdom isn’t only what you say—it’s when you say it and how you say it. “A word fitly spoken” is a word delivered at the right moment, with the right spirit,

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 24 of 31) Proverbs 24 — Theme: Don’t quit in the fight Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 24:10 “If you faint in the day of adversity, Your strength is small.” Reflection Proverbs 24 doesn’t try to flatter us—it tries to fortify us. Because adversity will come. Pressure days. Opposition days. Disappointment days. Days when you feel tired of doing the right thing. This verse isn’t saying, “You’re weak, so shame on you.” It’s a wake-up call: adversity

And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” — 1 John 2:1 “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” — 1 John 2:6 1 John 2 holds two truths together that every believer needs: holiness and hope.

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 23 of 31) Proverbs 23 — Theme: Don’t trade your soul for a moment Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 23:4–5 “Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease! Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.” Reflection Proverbs 23 speaks to a tired heart that’s been chasing—chasing money, approval, success, security, “enough.” And God interrupts th

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 22 of 31) Proverbs 22 — Theme: Your steps follow what your heart loves Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 is often quoted, but it’s deeper than a parenting slogan. “Train up” carries the idea of dedication—to set someone on a path, to shape patterns early, to point them toward what is right and life-giving. And it’s not only about what you te

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 21 of 31) Proverbs 21 — Theme: God is after your heart, not your image Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 21:2 “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.” Reflection It’s easy to feel justified. Most of us can explain our choices, defend our reactions, and point to reasons why we did what we did. Proverbs 21 says that’s normal: our ways look right to us . But then comes the holy reality: the Lord weighs the hearts.

Day 21 of 31 — John 21 Scripture (John 21:17, NKJV) “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ … Jesus said to him, ‘Feed My sheep.’” John 21 is the mercy of Jesus on full display. Peter had failed loudly—denying the Lord three times. But Jesus doesn’t discard him. He restores him. On the shoreline, with a simple breakfast and a personal conversation, Jesus asks Peter the most important question: “Do you love Me?” Not, “Why did you fail?” Not, “How

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 20 of 31) Proverbs 20 — Theme: The life you live becomes a legacy Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 20:7 “The righteous man walks in his integrity;His children are blessed after him.” Reflection Proverbs 20 reminds us that integrity isn’t just about “being a good person.” It’s about walking —day after day—when it’s convenient and when it costs you. Integrity is consistency. Same faith in public and private. Same truth when nobody’s looking. And the

Day 20 of 31 — John 20 Scripture (John 20:16, NKJV) “Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).” Devotional John 20 is resurrection morning—grief turning into glory. Mary came to the tomb expecting death. She stayed because she loved Jesus, but she didn’t yet understand what God had done. Then it happens: Jesus speaks her name. One word—“Mary”—and everything changes. That’s what the risen Christ still does. He doesn’t only p

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 19 of 31) Proverbs 19 — Theme: Slow down—wisdom saves you from regret Scripture Proverbs 19:2 “Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet.” Reflection Proverbs 19 gives a warning that hits hard in a fast world: hurry creates mistakes.  When you move too quickly—talk too fast, decide too fast, react too fast—you don’t just risk being wrong… you risk sin. “It is not good for a soul to be witho

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 18 of 31) Proverbs 18 — Theme: Life and death live in your mouth Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” Reflection Tonight’s proverb is simple, but it’s heavy—in the best way. Your words produce fruit. Not just feelings. Not just reactions. Fruit. What you speak consistently will eventually shape the atmosphere around you: in your home, your marriage, your friendships, your w

Day 18 of 31 — John 18 Scripture (John 18:36, NKJV) “My kingdom is not of this world.” John 18 is intense—betrayal, arrest, interrogation, pressure. Everything around Jesus looks like defeat… but Jesus speaks with calm authority: “My kingdom is not of this world.” That one sentence reframes everything. The world fights for power, position, and control. Jesus stands in chains and still declares a Kingdom that can’t be threatened. His authority doesn’t come from politics, platf

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 17 of 31) Proverbs 17 — Theme: God uses fire to refine, not to ruin Proverbs 17:3 “The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the Lord tests the hearts.” Reflection Some days feel like pressure. Not a little inconvenience—real heat. The kind that exposes what’s inside you: impatience, fear, pride, discouragement… or faith you didn’t know you had. Proverbs 17 reminds us that God doesn’t waste the “furnace.” Silver is refined
