Day 15 of 31 — John 15 Scripture (John 15:5, NKJV) “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15 is Jesus calling us to a life that’s more than trying harder—it’s a life of abiding. A branch doesn’t strain to produce fruit. It simply stays connected to the vine. Fruit is the result of connection. And Jesus makes it plain: without Him, we can do nothing that truly lasts. We can stay busy.

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 15 of 31) Proverbs 15 — Theme: A gentle answer is strength Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 15:1 “A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” A lot of spiritual battles don’t look “spiritual.” They look like a tense conversation. A misunderstood text. A disagreement at home. A moment where emotions rise fast and patience runs thin. Proverbs 15 gives us a weapon that feels backwards: a soft answer. Not a weak answer. Not a pass

Day 14 of 31 — John 14 Scripture (John 14:27, NKJV) “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14 is Jesus speaking calm into a storm. The disciples can feel change coming—uncertainty, fear, and the pressure of “what’s next.” And Jesus doesn’t deny the trouble… He offers a different kind of peace. The world’s peace is usually conditional: if everything goes right, if

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 13 of 31) Proverbs 13 — Theme: Hope grows where discipline lives Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.” Reflection There’s a special kind of weariness that comes from waiting. You’re doing your best. You’re praying. You’re trying to be faithful. But the answer feels delayed, the breakthrough feels distant, and the “when?” starts to weigh on your heart. God names

Day 13 of 31 — John 13 Scripture (John 13:15, NKJV) “For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” John 13 is where Jesus shows us what love looks like when it’s not just words. The King of Glory wraps Himself in a towel and kneels low—doing the kind of work nobody fights to do. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone. He was teaching a kingdom lesson: Greatness in the Kingdom is measured by service. Foot washing wasn’t glamorous—it was gritty. And th

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 12 of 31) Proverbs 12 — Theme: Faithful words heal Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 12:18 “There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.” Some wounds don’t come from fists—they come from phrases. A harsh comment. A cutting joke. A repeated criticism. Words can puncture the heart like a blade, and the scars can linger long after the conversation ends. But Proverbs 12 gives us a different picture o

Day 12 of 31 — John 12 Scripture (John 12:32, NKJV) “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” John 12 points our hearts to the center of the Gospel: Jesus will be lifted up—and when He is, He will draw people to Himself. He wasn’t talking about being lifted up in popularity or applause. He was pointing to the cross… to sacrifice… to the moment love would be displayed in its fullest form. This is freeing for us. Because it means the weight of

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 11 of 31) Proverbs 11 — Theme: Integrity is the quiet strength God blesses Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.” Integrity isn’t loud. It doesn’t post about itself. It doesn’t demand recognition. Integrity is what you do when nobody’s clapping… and when nobody’s watching. Proverbs 11 says integrity guides. That means when you’re unsure what to do

Day 11 of 31 — John 11 Scripture (John 11:25, NKJV) “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” John 11 meets us in one of the most painful places of life: waiting while it hurts. Mary and Martha loved Jesus. Lazarus was His friend. And still… Jesus didn’t rush. He delayed long enough that the situation looked final. That’s the tension we all feel sometimes: “Lord, if You had been here…” (John 11:21). But John 11 shows us som

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 10 of 31) Proverbs 10 — Theme: Words build… or words break Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” By the end of a long day, most regret doesn’t come from what we did—it comes from what we said. A sharp reply. A sarcastic comment. A vent that went too far. A “truth” delivered without love. Proverbs 10 is packed with contrasts—righteous and wicked, wise and foolish

Day 10 of 31 — John 10 (The Good Shepherd) Scripture (John 10:11, NKJV) “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10 is a chapter of comfort and clarity: Jesus is not a distant ruler—He is a present Shepherd. He doesn’t lead from afar. He walks with His people, protects them, and proves His love with sacrifice. A shepherd knows what each sheep needs: guidance, correction, rest, and safety. Jesus says He knows His sheep, and His sheep know

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 9 of 31) Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9 paints a picture of two invitations. One is wisdom—steady, holy, life-giving. The other is foolishness—loud, enticing, and empty. Both call out. Both offer a “seat.” But only one table leads to life. Tonight’s verse tells us where wisdom truly begins: the fear of the Lord—a reverent awe tha

January 9th, 2026- The book of John Morning devotional Day 9 of 31 — John 9 Scripture (John 9:25, NKJV) “One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see.” John 9 is a reminder that Jesus doesn’t just fix problems—He opens eyes. The man in this chapter doesn’t have every answer. He can’t explain every detail. But he has a testimony that can’t be argued away: “One thing I know…” That’s faith in its simplest form. When you’re pressured, questioned, or doubted—don’t feel lik

January 8th, 2026- The Book Of Proverbs Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 8 of 31) Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 8:17 “I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.” Proverbs 8 pictures wisdom like a voice that’s not hiding in a corner—it’s calling out. Not just in church moments, but in everyday moments: decisions, relationships, money, words, integrity, temptation, priorities. And here’s the comfort for tonight: God isn’t playing hide-and-seek with d

January 8th, 2026- The Book of John Day 8 of 31 — John 8 Scripture (John 8:12, NKJV) “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Darkness doesn’t always look like chaos—it can look like confusion, heaviness, temptation, resentment, fear, or that quiet feeling of being stuck. In John 8, Jesus doesn’t just point to light… He declares, “I am the light of the world.” That means you don’t have to manufacture your own bri

January 7th, 2026- The book of Proverbs Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 7 of 31) Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 7:2–3 “Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart.” Proverbs 7 is God’s loving warning about temptation—how it talks, how it flatters, and how it tries to pull you when you’re tired, alone, or drifting. But tonight’s focus is protection. God says: keep My commands and live. Not “kee

January 7th, 2026- The Book of John Day 7 of 31 — John 7 Scripture (John 7:37, NKJV) “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” Some thirst is obvious—fatigue, pressure, stress, the weight of responsibility. But the deeper thirst is quieter: the need to feel steady, forgiven, clean, hopeful, and truly alive inside. In John 7, Jesus stands in the middle of a crowded, religious moment and makes a personal invitation: “If anyone thirsts…” Not “if the strong thirst.” Not

January 6th, 2026- The Book of Proverbs Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 6 of 31) Proverbs 6 — Theme: Let God’s Word guard you while you sleep Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 6:22 “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.” Some nights your body is in bed, but your mind is still “on shift.” Replaying conversations. Worrying about tomorrow. Carrying what you couldn’t fix today. Proverbs 6 gives you a simple

January 6th, 2026. The Book of John, Chapter 6 Morning Devotional Scripture (John 6:35, NKJV) “And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’” Lord, we come into today with hunger—maybe not for food, but for peace, clarity, strength, and reassurance. John 6 reminds us that You don’t just meet needs… You are the need we were made for. So often we chase what’s temporary: approval, comfort, c

Nightly Devotional — Proverbs (Day 5 of 31) Proverbs 5 — Theme: God sees the path, so choose it wisely Scripture (NKJV) Proverbs 5:21–23 “For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.” Reflection Proverbs 5 is a sober reminder that choices don’t stay small. They grow
