- September 22
“And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death” (Exodus 19:12). The Mosaic Law resulted in awe of God but also a strictly enforced distance from Him. In contrast, through Jesus Christ, believers now have confident access to God because His finished works removed the barrier that once separated humanity from Him.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed” (Romans 13:11). Time has a spiritual urgency, and believers must live with a sense of expectation. Every day brings us closer to the full realization of our salvation; therefore, complacency has no place in the life of faith.
- September 20
“And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15). Repentance is more than feeling sorry for sin—it’s a change of mind that leads us to place our trust in Christ. When our thinking changes, our lives begin to reflect the reality of God’s kingdom.
- September 19
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death” (Romans 8:1, 2, NLT). The freedom that God’s grace offers us isn’t something we strive to earn, but something we receive by faith. Living with this understanding empowers us to walk boldly in the liberty Christ has provided.
- September 18
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” (Romans 12:2, NLT). God changes our lives by first changing the way we think, enabling us to reject the world's patterns and embrace His truth. Aligning our thinking with His Word better equips us to recognize His will and experience the peace and wisdom that come from walking in it.
- September 17
“Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes” (Ephesians 1:4, NLT). God's plan for our lives began long before we were ever born. He chose us in Christ based on His love and grace, not on our works or qualifications.
- September 16
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while” (1 Peter 1 6, NLT). Life brings us more than our share of trials; suffering doesn’t negate God's promises but becomes part of the process through which faith is strengthened and refined. We can endure hardships with confidence because our ultimate hope rests in God's eternal salvation.
- September 15
“God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant” (Romans 5:20, NLT). This highlights both the seriousness of sin and the surpassing greatness of God's mercy. Instead of leaving us condemned because of our sins, He responds to our need with an overflowing supply of grace through Jesus Christ.
- September 14
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work” (Romans 11:6). There’s a clear distinction between grace and works that we must understand if we’re to avoid being deceived. Salvation is a gift that can’t be earned or deserved; if human effort contributed to salvation, grace would cease to be grace.
- September 13
“And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord” (Exodus 19:8). When the people readily agreed to obey God's covenant before fully understanding the demands it would place on them, their response demonstrated good intentions but also the limitations of human commitment apart from God’s enabling grace. This serves as a reminder that obedience requires more than just enthusiasm, but also dependence on God.

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Proverbs 16:18, 19).
Adopting a proud attitude sets us up for a fall. Pride is a spirit not from God; letting it infect our thinking can bring us down.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?” (2 Corinthians 6:14, 15).
As believers, we must be careful about who we develop a relationship with. We can be strongly influenced by people who we spend time with on an extended basis. The wrong influence causes us to stumble on our faith walk; this is especially important for single Christians to remember.
March 5
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, NIV).
We’ve been blessed with sound minds and strong intellects we can use for good in the spiritual fight that all believers are engaged in. Protecting our thought processes from evil influences by meditating on the Scriptures gives us access to supernatural power to overcome philosophies and thoughts that go against God’s Word.
March 4
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
On our own and without Jesus, we have no hope at all. When we get born again and Jesus comes to live inside of us, our sins are washed away; we can then truthfully say we’ve been made holy and righteous in God’s eyes.
March 3
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11, NKJV).
When we’re first born again, we’re spiritual children needing the simple basics of God’s Word. The more we study it and apply it to our lives, the more we grow in Christ. Diligently continuing to meditate on it brings us to a point where our once-childish understanding of it matures.
March 2
“Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel” (Proverbs 20:17).
The phrase “honesty is the best policy” may have originated with this biblical truth. We often bring punishment onto ourselves by giving in to the temptation to be dishonest. Even if we think no one noticed, we’re left with a guilty conscience that follows us everywhere.
March 1
“Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” (Proverbs 20:9).
Under the old-covenant Law of Moses—which was entirely works-based—no one could ever truthfully say they were free from sin because no one could make their own heart clean. Jesus did everything that was needed to cleanse us; we no longer have to rely on our own efforts to be holy.

“The appetite of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the appetite of the diligent is abundantly supplied… Wealth [not earned but] won in haste or unjustly or from the production of things for vain or detrimental use [such riches] will dwindle away, but he who gathers little by little will increase [his riches]” (Proverbs 13:4, 11, AMPC).
There’s eternal value in being patient, consistent, and willing to work an honest job. Conversely, letting greed motivate us to lean toward get-rich-quick schemes hurts us in the long run.
February 27
“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding… The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute” (Proverbs 12:11, 24).
Sloths are known for being slow-moving and doing very little. Being diligent and putting in an honest day’s work is scripturally based and pleasing to God; we mustn’t be like the sloth.
