Greg Laurie Daily Devotions

When we do wrong things, we reap the consequences. There’s no need to scratch our heads and wonder why.And there’s certainly no need to blame God when we reap the bad things we’ve sown.

I like the words of that wonderful woman of God, Corrie ten Boom, who said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” God is in control of our future. He is able to sustain us today, tomorrow, and every day we draw breath in this world.

You will “share in all that belongs to Christ”—if you are faithful to the end.In other words, you need to cross the finish line.

As believers, we must keep our eyes on Jesus. Circumstances will disappoint and, at times, devastate us. People will let us down and fall short of our expectations. Feelings will come and go. But Jesus will always be there to cheer us on.

Remember, even the hardest heart can be softened. You never know—the hard-hearted person you’re trying to reach just might be the next Paul.

When tragic things happen and life ends suddenly, it may not seem logical to us. But God is still in control. And the angels did their job—guiding us, protecting us, and finally taking us to glory.

Periodically, we need to take stock of our lives as believers and look at the things that we’re doing with our time. We need to ask ourselves, “Is it helping me run, or is it weighing me down? Is it speeding me on my way spiritually, or is it slowing me down?

Faithful prayer involves a sense of expectation. That’s not to say that we should have a smug assurance that God will give us everything we ask for when we ask for it. Rather, we should approach God knowing that our heavenly Father will give us His full attention.

You’ll notice that God doesn’t downplay the seriousness of sin or the effect it has on our relationship with Him. But when we repent, He chooses to forgive, to restore the relationship—not with ulterior motives but rather with a sincere desire for reconciliation.

Our best response is to patiently endure what God allows in this life. Because our heavenly Father is gracious and generous beyond our imagining, our patient endurance through these temporary challenges and struggles will be rewarded for eternity.

The only way for God’s people to truly prosper is to be generous. Refreshing others with what God has given us is one of our highest callings.

It's a constant, lurking threat, poised to strike and control our lives at any moment, even when we feel spiritually strongest.

In a universe so vast, do you ever question your individual significance? This devotional unveils the incredible biblical truth that the Almighty Creator is not only thinking about you, but deeply cares about every detail of your life, offering profound comfort and confirming your intrinsic worth.

Discover how God can profoundly use your unique talents and aspirations to fulfill His purpose, far beyond what you might imagine.

God may have closed a door for you because He has another door ready to open at any time. Here’s what you need to do: Wait on the Lord and be faithful to Him. Often the things we go through in life are preparation for something else. Know that God is preparing you for something in your future.
