Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Proverbs 21:30

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.

Proverbs 21:30

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

No matter how fresh the start nor how great the plans we have made this new year, if we do not walk with God, this coming year will not be a spiritual success. As we receive this gift of a new year, let's commit to serving the LORD. As we plan for the coming year ahead of us, let's make sure that those plans are based on the LORD's revealed will in Scripture, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and prayerful consideration of what our God wants us to accomplish as we live for him.

My Prayer...

God of the ages, my Father in heaven, thank you for being very near as I start this new year. Please bless me and reveal to me your will for each day. Bring the people into my life who will help me love you more, serve you effectively, and bless others in meaningful ways. To you be all the honor and glory in what I do, think, and say in the days ahead. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Luke 12:31

But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Luke 12:31

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

As we stand at the end of one year and look over tomorrow into the beginning of a new one, let's remember that before our New Year's resolutions are made and before this year has come to its end, we must declare to all, "As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD..." (Joshua 24:15). We choose to seek God and his kingdom first. That's our highest priority, and we trust that God will add all the other things we need as and when we need them.

My Prayer...

As I conclude this year and begin another, dear Father, I pray that you will help me keep my eyes on Jesus and my heart focused on your will as I seek your kingdom above all other things. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Nehemiah 12:30

When the priests and Levites had purified themselves ceremonially, they purified the people, the gates and the wall.

Nehemiah 12:30

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Nehemiah had returned to Judea from serving a foreign king who authorized him to rebuild the broken structures in Jerusalem and rally the people to repopulate the Holy City, re-commit to purity, and rebuild the city walls to protect the people inside. As the people finished rebuilding the walls, Nehemiah insisted that the key leaders and everyday places must be purified. They had to do that before they began their normal daily lives inside the walls and continued their work of purifying the people. Nehemiah reminds us that before we try to "clean up" those around us, we must first offer ourselves to God to be consecrated and made pure by his grace. Then, we can live demonstrating the impact of God's holiness on those around us. This principle is similar to what Jesus told us to remove the plank from our own eye before we try to clean the speck out of someone else's eye (Luke 6:41-42). For leaders at any level — church, work, teams, families — dedicating ourselves to holiness is essential before calling others to holiness! God's most significant spiritual renewal movements begin with leaders consecrating themselves to the LORD and then leading others toward God's holy way of living.

My Prayer...

O Father in heaven, forgive me for my sins. I want to be pure and holy, cleansed by your Spirit and forgiven by your grace. Please bless me as I seek to live a holy life before those I seek to influence. I need your powerful help to be the example and person of character that you want me to be and that my friends need me to be. I ask this in the name of Jesus, my Savior and LORD. Amen.
