Meditations for Daily Growth
Obeying the Gospel
Letting the Scriptures Decide (June 17)
The Scriptures are no ordinary documents. To disregard the authority with which God speaks to us in the Scriptures is to do a very foolish thing. In all the great issues of life, it is the standard of the Scriptures to which we should appeal.
Diligently Seeking God
The Pursuit of Christ’s Love (June 17)
What does it mean to pursue the love of Christ? More than our pursuing Him, it means allowing ourselves to be pursued by Him. It’s the choice to accept His benevolent will, ceasing to run away from the great love that He has desired to give us.
Reaching Forward
On Giving Hope (June 17)
When the final tally is made, I hope that I won’t have failed to encourage anyone who needed it. It’s a fine thing to have hope, but it is an even finer thing to give hope. That, above all, is what I want to do. And I’m confident that you do too.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Orderliness (June 17)
Just as unmaintained spaces become chaotic and uninviting, so do our lifestyles when we default on “housekeeping” chores. It doesn’t take long for the chaos to creep in. So what about your manner of life? Is it overdue for some serious reordering?
Challenging Every Person to Take God More Seriously
Is devotion to God your primary passion? Our daily devotionals and Bible studies are designed to help you pursue this goal. More than mere fluff, our readings are “devotionals with a difference.” If you’re ready to reach toward spiritual growth, we’re here to support you.
Devotional Meditation
Rather than thinking about God casually, meditation is a deep pondering of His truth. When we meditate devotionally, the facts about God are given more than a "passing glance." We think about them intently and lovingly so their meaning can truly sink in.
Daily Devotional Books
Unfortunately, many of the best-selling devotionals are popular not because they produce greater devotion to God but because they give the reader a sugary "high." They aim to make the reader feel better, but they do little to stimulate significant spiritual growth.
Devotion to God
Devotional strength must be built up by constant, disciplined practice over time. Paul reminded his young friend Timothy of this when he said, "Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all" (1 Timothy 4:15).

DFBS 325 – Giving honor to God is the highest and best activity in life
There is a great deal of peace in realizing that giving honor to God is the highest activity in life. When we show the proper respect for God, we are doing the very thing we were created for. We find our destiny and our fulfillment in God’s glory.
