Today’s Devotional
Each devotional has its own Scripture passage. Read it first, then spend a few minutes with the explanation and carry its truth into the day.
The Shepherd Who Restores
Devotional Scripture
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”Psalm 23:1–3 KJV
Sheep do not impress anyone with their independence. They need a shepherd for pasture, water, protection, direction, and recovery. David knew that work from the fields around Bethlehem, yet he placed himself on the dependent side of the picture. “The LORD is my shepherd” is not praise for human ability. It is a confession that everything the sheep needs rests in the wisdom and care of the Shepherd.
David begins with the name of the covenant-keeping God and then speaks personally. The LORD is not a distant idea in the psalm. He leads, restores, accompanies, prepares, and welcomes His own.
The word “my” should never be separated from faith. A person does not belong to the Shepherd through family tradition or religious familiarity. Jesus Christ saves those who come to Him by faith, and His sheep hear His voice and follow Him.
Continue reading the full devotional →A day can fill up before we have given much thought to what is filling our minds. There is work waiting, a message to answer, and usually something we did not plan for. Opening the Bible gives us a place to begin with truth that does not change with the schedule. Read the Scripture here slowly. Notice what it says about the Lord and what it calls for from the people in the passage. The devotional is there to help explain that setting and bring the truth into daily life.
Then take some of the passage with you. Say it aloud, look away, and try to remember its words. If you miss a phrase, look again without getting discouraged. There is no prize for hurrying through it. A verse learned carefully can come back to mind when patience is wearing thin or an old habit is asking for another chance. Your reading plan can take you farther through the Bible, while this smaller portion gives you something to carry through the hours ahead. Let the words you read shape the next ordinary thing you do.

Some days call for patience, others for an honest confession or a renewed view of God’s faithfulness. Each reading begins with KJV Scripture and explains its setting before bringing the passage into the ordinary places where we need to obey it.

The Chairs after the Party
Original fictional illustration
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:26-28 KJV
The birthday guests had gone home. Paper cups sat on the tables, and the chairs needed to be stacked. Noah wanted to open his new building set right away.

Short devotional
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew 20:26-28 KJV
Every home has jobs that somehow belong to nobody. The empty roll waits to be changed. The appointment waits to be made. Both people notice, and both can think of a reason the other should handle it.
Jesus turns His disciples away from competing for importance. He points them toward service and gives His own life as the greatest example. His death paid a ransom we could never pay. Our service is a response to His love, never a way of earning it.
