243: Carry each others burdens | Galatians 6:2

When we first seek after God, we don’t need to be anxious about tomorrow. Follow Him today, and tomorrow will take care of itself. 
 
 Once again, our One Verse for today is one that makes you think, “Did Jesus really say that?” Matthew 6:34 says to focus on today and for us to let tomorrow take care of itself. Is that right? It seems so irresponsible. Shouldn’t we plan for the future? Shouldn’t we save and plan for a rainy day? Yes. So, what does this verse mean? Well, the verse right before is a famous passage: “Seek first God and His Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.” Jesus is speaking here, and He makes a powerful point. Will we trust God to take care of us? If we truly put God first TODAY, then TOMORROW will already be decided. If we put God first, He will protect us and provide for us. Is it ok to save? Of, course. But we don’t need to worry about the future. Put God first today. Think about how you can serve Him and love others today. And when tomorrow comes, do it again. If we would live our lives with that level of God-focus, we can take comfort in the fact that He will provide for us.

196: Let tomorrow take care of itself | Matthew 6:34

The Bible calls us to live with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. But is this what we see in our churches today? 
 
 I’ve been creating One Verse Devotional videos for over four years. I am just a few months away from completing my first year with this podcast. In short, I have recorded hundreds of devotionals about hundreds of Bible verses. I don’t say this to brag or puff myself up. My point is this: After years of looking at verse after verse after verse, I have come to one conclusion. God desires that we live with love, kindness, and patience toward others. Colossians 3:12 says it perfectly, but I have seen this same message over and over, again. Yet, our churches rarely look like this picture of Christ. Instead, we feel as though it is our job to defending the faith and acting as enforcers of biblical principles. The crazy thing is, that was never our job. Go ahead, look it up. We are called to speak truth (in love!), but not go on a crusade to make sure the world follows God’s rules. God will take care of that. The Holy Spirit will direct people. As for us, we are called to love with kindness and patience.

When you don’t know how to pray or feel like your prayers are hitting the ceiling, take comfort in the fact the the Holy Spirit is praying to God FOR YOU on your behalf. 
 
 We all face some rough times in our prayer lives. Maybe you feel like you’ve never really known how to pray. This is paralyzing for many Christians, but it doesn’t have to be. How do I know this? Our One Verse for today, that’s how. Romans 8:26 says that the Holy Spirit prays for us, even when we don’t know what to pray! How cool is that? That gives me some much comfort and encouragement. It also gives me confidence in my prayer life. I don’t need to pray the perfect prayer (pro tip: There is no perfect prayer). Instead, I know I can simply share my heart, and the Holy Spirit will take care of the rest. Have you struggled in your prayer life? That’s ok. Keep going. The Spirit of God has got your back.

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 
Freedom. It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, today. But what is it really? Does it simply mean you can do whatever you want? No. Otherwise, we would have no laws in this country. That isn’t freedom. That is anarchy. So what is freedom? For me, freedom is breaking free of bondage. When it comes to our spiritual lives, it is freedom to break free of the bondage of our past, our sin, our guilt, our shame, and our regrets. It is the freedom to discover a new life filled with promise. The ability to live according to God’s promises and discover my purpose and use my special gifts. That is freedom. And how do we find freedom? John 8:32 makes it clear. The Truth will set you free. Other verses in John tell us that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The closer we get to Jesus, the more we will find true freedom in our lives.

Look out for #1! That’s what our culture tells us. Unfortunately, that thinking is totally opposite of the Bible. 
Work hard to get ahead, no matter the cost. That's what our world teaches. Love first. That’s what the Bible teaches. Put others before ourselves. Whenever we do that, it always seems to work out for us, too. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Maybe Jesus was on to something.

Power = Love + Self-Discipline | 2 Timothy 1:7 | One Verse Devotional

God loved us when we had done nothing in return, nothing to earn it. That is true love! 
How did God demonstrate and show His love for us? By sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to live a sinless life and pay our penalty of death on the cross. We did nothing to earn it or deserve it. He loved us when we were truly unlovely. As Christians, it is so easy to take the gift of salvation for granted, isn’t it? We start to check out when someone brings it up or we hear a sermon. Take some time today to reflect on just what Jesus did for us on the cross. Think about how much God must love you. He showed us His love when we could do nothing in return and had done nothing to earn it!

A Light On My Path | Psalm 119:105 [Daily Devotional]

I am passionate about living a Love First life and inspiring others to do the same. 
Prequel! We have been looking at a few verses in Colossians 3. Today, we rewind back to verse 14 because it is the foundational verse that laid the groundwork for verses 15, 16, and 17. At the heart of all of our actions should be love! This week, we have learned to let the peace of God be the guiding light to all of our decisions. We have learned to lift up others and allow the message of the Gospel of Jesus be real in our lives. We discovered that we must do everything--from work to family to the art we want to create to the legacy we want to leave behind--in the name of Jesus. But before Paul (the writer of Colossians) taught us all of these things, he gave up one foundational truth: Love. Let us live our lives with a Love First mentality. Before we jump to conclusions, before we seek to judge, before condemn, let us always Love first!

Love First | Colossians 3:14 | One Verse devotional

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly! 
Yesterday, we learned to let peace guide our life path. But once we’re on that path, how should we live? Today’s One Verse answers this question. We must lift up one another, allow the message of Jesus to be alive within us, and live a life of worship. This is my goal with the One Verse Devotional: helping you grow deeper in your faith every day. I want the message of Christ to be real in our lives and influence how we act, what we say, and how we treat others. Let us live a life of worship with the Gospel message being a real part of our lives. And let us lift up those around us! It all starts with diving into His Word every day! I hope this devotional helps you with that.

Lift up one another | Colossians 3:16 | One Verse Devotional

When the future seems unclear, tapping into the peace of God can act like a compass in our lives. 
I have experienced this two different times in my life when I faced major decisions. I wasn’t sure what to do. It would affect my family. I was scared. However, I had peace about my decision. It was a peace I cannot fully explain. When I looked at my options, one choice clearly brought a level of peace that guided me to make the right decision, even though I was afraid. This is the peace of God that can guide our hearts and lives!

We don’t need to fear the valley of the shadow of death. God’s love and goodness and mercy will follow us wherever we go! 
Our One Verse today comes from the famous 23rd Psalm. In this Psalm, David talks about going through the shadow of death. Yet, he ends his song reminding us that no matter where we go, God is following right behind us with His goodness, His mercy, and His love. If we truly believed this and lived this way, what would we attempt?
