Daily Devotionals - May 2024

May 5

A good man deals graciously and lends; he will guide his affairs with discretion. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord (Psalm 112:5, 7, NKJV).

The righteous show mercy and compassion to others, and they use God’s wisdom to guide them in all their dealings. Accepting the Word by faith makes us righteous in God’s eyes. As His righteous children, we can live life unafraid, regardless of what we see happening in the world.

I have chosen the way of truth; your judgments I have laid before me (Psalm 119:30, NKJV). 

God gives us a choice as to how we live our lives. When we make a decision to accept by faith the truths contained in the Bible, we walk the path of eternal life. Putting the Word in front of us and concentrating exclusively on it will keep us focused on our Christian walk.

And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day (Deuteronomy 8:18, NKJV).

The world would have us think that we make our own wealth through our own efforts, but the Word shows us that God is the sole source for everything we need. Put in its proper perspective, money is simply a tool to accomplish the tasks God lays out for us.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2, NKJV).

Faith in God’s promises, and in the power of what Jesus did for us on the cross, makes us holy in God’s eyes and worthy to stand in His presence. When our faith falters, we can focus on Jesus, the One whose faith is perfect.

May 1

Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me’ (Matthew 16:24, NKJV).

When we decide to follow in Jesus’ footsteps, the world will cast disapproval and persecutions our way—we can consider those the cross that Jesus was referring to. To truly tune in to what God wants to say to us, we must stop focusing solely on ourselves, and redirect our attention to Him.
