Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
The Lordship of David’s Lord (April 16)
Psalm 110 is a powerful prophecy of the Messiah — every part of it meshes seamlessly with Jesus Christ. No wonder the New Testament writers saw in David’s words clear references to Jesus, the Lord who is now seated at the right hand of God.
Diligently Seeking God
Strength for the Loyal Heart (April 16)
If we sought God with a loyalty that He could count on — a faithful love that would hold us at His side — what strength He would impart to us! Our greatest need is for fidelity, the honor that holds steadfastly to all the truth we know of God.
Reaching Forward
Checkmate (April 16)
When we find ourselves checkmated by God, we should be thankful. By all rights, He should have given up on us long ago, but in His grace He has not yet done so. We should respond rightly, in word and deed, to the fact that God has blocked our path.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Goodwill (April 16)
As we work on our goodwill, let’s make it better by making it more specific. Generic goodwill toward the human race is relatively useless. What we need is an active, practical goodwill toward the people we actually have to deal with from day to day.
Challenging Every Person to Take God More Seriously
Is devotion to God your primary passion? Our daily devotionals and Bible studies are designed to help you pursue this goal. More than mere fluff, our readings are “devotionals with a difference.” If you’re ready to reach toward spiritual growth, we’re here to support you.
Devotional Meditation
Rather than thinking about God casually, meditation is a deep pondering of His truth. When we meditate devotionally, the facts about God are given more than a "passing glance." We think about them intently and lovingly so their meaning can truly sink in.
Daily Devotional Books
Unfortunately, many of the best-selling devotionals are popular not because they produce greater devotion to God but because they give the reader a sugary "high." They aim to make the reader feel better, but they do little to stimulate significant spiritual growth.
Devotion to God
Devotional strength must be built up by constant, disciplined practice over time. Paul reminded his young friend Timothy of this when he said, "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all" (1 Timothy 4:15).
Themes for Families to Talk About
DFBS 316 – The gospel of Jesus Christ produces peace
Working constructively toward peace challenges both our wisdom and our courage. It calls for the highest and best within us. May we be people whose work results in a greater degree of true harmony, based upon the revealed truth of God’s word.
