Obeying the Gospel
Take My Yoke Upon You (November 8)
What we need is not the “freedom” of more lawlessness, but to return to the will of God and find our rest therein. In comparison to the yoke of the enemy, the yoke that Jesus offers is easy. It requires nothing but what contributes to our true good.
Diligently Seeking God
God’s Kingdom, God’s Will (November 8)
God’s kingdom is the realm of His rule, a spiritual domain within hearts surrendered to His will. Jesus taught us to pray for God’s kingdom to come on earth, a call for each of us to live in alignment with His divine sovereignty.
Reaching Forward
It Does Good to Do Good (November 8)
Every action impacts the world. Doing good spreads light and positivity, while negative actions contribute to darkness. As interconnected parts of God’s creation, our choices ripple outward, influencing others. Let’s choose goodness and shine as lights.
Enthusiastic Ideas
Equality (November 8)
All people hold equal value, created in God’s image, and deserve respect beyond appearance or circumstance. True equality requires love — a commitment to treating each person with dignity, as God sees no one as unimportant.
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).
Themes for Families to Talk About
DFBS 346 – Like Noah, we ought to have an obedient trust in God
In areas where we may not understand the rationale for what God commands, let’s trust that God knows what He is doing. Because we have faith that God is wise and that He will never lead us astray, let’s obey whatever God’s will is.
