Daily Devotional

Want to be part of God’s Family?

The greatest invitation ever extended is to become part of God’s family. Through faith in Jesus Christ, ordinary people like you and me are adopted into the household of the King of kings. This is not a distant religious membership — it is a living, eternal relationship as beloved children in the Father’s house.

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church. As Ephesians 5:23 (TLB) declares, “For a husband is in charge of his wife in the same way Christ is in charge of his body the Church. (He gave his life to save her.)” Just as a body cannot live without its head, the Church finds its life, direction, and purpose in Christ alone. He leads, nourishes, and protects His people with perfect love and authority. When we surrender to Him, we are joined to this living organism — the Body of Christ — where every member has a vital place and function.

We are also members of the Bride of Christ. Scripture paints a beautiful picture of the Church as the pure bride being prepared for her wedding day with the Lamb (Revelation 19:7-9). This intimate relationship speaks of covenant love, faithfulness, and the joy that awaits us. One day the Bridegroom will return for His bride, and we will celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb. Until then, we live as those betrothed — holy, set apart, growing in devotion to our Savior.

Most wonderfully, we become a Child of God and a Member of the Family of God. Galatians 3:26 (TLB) tells us, “For now we are all children of God through our faith in Jesus Christ.” John 1:12 adds that to all who received Him and believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. Adoption into God’s family means we are no longer spiritual orphans! We have a loving Father who knows us, provides for us, disciplines us in love, and has prepared an inheritance that will never fade.

This new family identity changes everything. Old divisions of race, status, or past failures dissolve. We are brothers and sisters united by the blood of Christ. The Holy Spirit within us cries, “Abba, Father!” (Romans 8:15), giving us confidence to approach God’s throne and the power to live as His representatives on earth.

If you have not yet entered God’s family, the door stands open today. Simply believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection for your sins, repent of your sins and receive Him as Lord and Savior, and you are instantly welcomed home! For those already in the family, live worthy of your calling — loving one another, serving faithfully, Witnessing to others and eagerly awaiting the return of our Head and Bridegroom.

May this truth fill your heart with gratitude and boldness. You are not alone. You belong to God’s forever family.

Amen.

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

²Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

³Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

⁴Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

⁵Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

^{6 H}e established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 09 in Proverbs for today: (JUNE 09 (MT) (ESV)

9 Wisdom has built her house;
    she has hewn her seven pillars.
²She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.
³She has sent out her young women to call
    from the highest places in the town,
⁴“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    To him who lacks sense she says,
⁵“Come, eat of my bread
    and drink of the wine I have mixed.
⁶Leave your simple ways,^[a] and live,
    and walk in the way of insight.”

⁷Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
    and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
⁸Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
    reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
⁹Give instruction^[b] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
    teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life.
¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
    if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

The Way of Folly

¹³The woman Folly is loud;
    she is seductive^[c] and knows nothing.
¹⁴She sits at the door of her house;
    she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
¹⁵calling to those who pass by,
    who are going straight on their way,
¹⁶“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    And to him who lacks sense she says,
¹⁷“Stolen water is sweet,
    and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸But he does not know that the dead^[d] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

CHAPTER 16 ISAIAH for today: (JUNE 09 (JJ) (ESV)

16 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land,
from Sela, by way of the desert,
    to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
²Like fleeing birds,
    like a scattered nest,
so are the daughters of Moab
    at the fords of the Arnon.

³“Give counsel;
    grant justice;
make your shade like night
    at the height of noon;
shelter the outcasts;
    do not reveal the fugitive;
⁴let the outcasts of Moab
    sojourn among you;
be a shelter to them^[a]
    from the destroyer.
When the oppressor is no more,
    and destruction has ceased,
and he who tramples underfoot has vanished from the land,
⁵then a throne will be established in steadfast love,
    and on it will sit in faithfulness
    in the tent of David
one who judges and seeks justice
    and is swift to do righteousness.”

⁶We have heard of the pride of Moab—
    how proud he is!—
of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence;
    in his idle boasting he is not right.
⁷Therefore let Moab wail for Moab,
    let everyone wail.
Mourn, utterly stricken,
    for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth.

⁸For the fields of Heshbon languish,
    and the vine of Sibmah;
the lords of the nations
    have struck down its branches,
which reached to Jazer
    and strayed to the desert;
its shoots spread abroad
    and passed over the sea.
⁹Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer
    for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
    O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over your summer fruit and your harvest
    the shout has ceased.
¹⁰And joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no songs are sung,
    no cheers are raised;
no treader treads out wine in the presses;
    I have put an end to the shouting.
¹¹Therefore my inner parts moan like a lyre for Moab,
    and my inmost self for Kir-hareseth.

¹²And when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, when he comes to his sanctuary to pray, he will not prevail.

¹³This is the word that the Lord spoke concerning Moab in the past. ¹⁴But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “In three years, like the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab will be brought into contempt, in spite of all his great multitude, and those who remain will be very few and feeble.”

Revelation 10

for today: (JUNE 09 (NN) ESV)

10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. ²He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, ³and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. ⁴And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” ⁵And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven ⁶and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, ⁷but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

⁸Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” ⁹So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” ¹⁰And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter. ¹¹And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
