Guidelines For Living Devotional

True riches aren’t measured by food or drink, but by the righteousness, peace, and joy that come from living under God’s rule in your heart.

No amount of wealth, fame, or power can earn your way into God’s kingdom—salvation comes only as a free gift through faith and His grace.

What seems right in the moment—chasing ease, thrill, or gain—can quietly trade your gold for brass and lead straight to destruction.

Trust isn’t leapfrogged with fear—it grows when you know God through Jesus and step into His care, just as a child jumps into a father’s arms.

When fear whispers “you’ll be disappointed,” God reminds you that He is your shield, your reward, and faithful to meet your deepest longing.

True obedience isn’t found in rules or rituals, but in loving God fully and letting that love flow to your neighbor, even when it’s hard.

True wisdom isn’t measured by what we know, own, or can do—but by knowing God and trusting His steadfast love and justice, even when life doesn’t make sense.

The same voice that silenced the raging sea still speaks peace into the storms that threaten to overwhelm your life.

When the lines aren’t clearly marked, Jesus’ simple rule—treat others the way you want to be treated—shows you exactly where to stand.

The God who calls us to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly is the same loving Father revealed from Genesis to Revelation.

Love isn’t the rush that fades with feelings—it’s the quiet, steadfast commitment that chooses kindness and endurance long after emotions change.

When you put God first, He takes responsibility for everything you spend your life worrying about.

Success isn’t reaching the top if getting there costs you your soul, your family, and everything that truly matters.

You can spend your life building bigger barns, but none of it matters if you lose what God says matters most.

Knowing the right thing to do means little if your choices—and your calendar—don’t reflect it.

Forgiveness isn’t losing an argument—it’s choosing peace and healing over letting hurt quietly fester.

The giants that intimidate you most may be the very thing God uses to strengthen and nourish your faith.

When the world feels like it’s falling apart, the choice is between growing cynical or returning to God’s unchanging ways.

If the world belongs to God, caring for it isn’t optional—it’s a family responsibility.
