Numbers 1-4, Psalm 40
Numbers 1:1-4 (NLT)
“A year after Israel’s departure from Egypt, the Lord spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai. On the first day of the second month of that year he said, ‘From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their clans and families. List all the men twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron must register the troops, and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.’”
In Numbers 1:1–4, the Lord instructs Moses to take a census of the people. Father-God wanted to identify who was able to fight for Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. One Bible commentary noted that the census served both practical and spiritual purposes, allowing the Lord to organize the people for military and religious responsibilities.
I used to skim the first chapters of Numbers because they seemed to be only a listing of the tribes and their numbers. But now I see them as a window into how the Lord thinks. Father-God values every single member of His family. The Lord did not merely want a headcount; He wanted to know who was ready to serve. Father-God values organization, and He values every person because each has a role in His plan. The census also reflects the Lord’s emphasis on preparation and readiness. By counting the fighting-aged men, the people were reminded that entering the Promised Land would require both faith and action.
These verses remind me that if I want to reflect the character of the Lord, I should value organization and preparation. Father-God takes inventory of the resources available to fulfill His purposes. As believers, we need an honest understanding of our strengths and weaknesses when carrying out the tasks the Lord gives us. Most importantly, these verses remind me that every person matters to the Lord. We each have a role in Father-God’s plan for the earth. I can serve Him faithfully when I focus on His calling for my life and remain prepared and organized.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who values you and equips you to fulfill His purpose for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 39 Bible Readings - Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT)
Leviticus 26-27, Psalm 39
Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT)
“But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the Lord their God. For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”
In Leviticus 26:44–45, the Lord tells Moses that the covenant relationship He has with His people is unbreakable. Father-God promises that He will remain faithful to His covenant even when His people are repeatedly unfaithful and disobedient. The Lord does not desire to destroy His people. Instead, Father-God desires restoration and uses discipline as a tool for correction. The Lord’s nature is steadfast, and we can trust in His faithfulness and reliability.
These verses remind me that even when I have strayed from the Lord, the Holy Spirit has always promised restoration if I was repentant and returned to Father-God. Over the years, the Lord’s mercy toward me has revealed His nature and what it truly means to live in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. There were moments when I was absolutely convinced that Father-God had forsaken me. Yet through a steady inner prompting, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that the Lord was patiently waiting for me to turn back to Him.
When I finally did, I understood how the prodigal son must have felt when his father celebrated his return. The Lord welcomed me back with open arms, and now I feel His love present in my life every day.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who always desires restoration with you—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 38 Bible Readings - Leviticus 25:35-36 (NLT)
Leviticus 24-25, Psalm 38
Leviticus 25:35-36 (NLT)
“If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and cannot support himself, support him as you would a foreigner or a temporary resident and allow him to live with you. Do not charge interest or make a profit at his expense. Instead, show your fear of God by letting him live with you as your relative.”
In Leviticus 25:35–36, the Lord instructs Moses on how to care for those in need, reflecting Father-God’s concern for justice and compassion. The Lord commands His people to support those who cannot provide for themselves so they may continue living within the community. Father-God also emphasizes that they must not charge interest or seek profit from someone who is needy. In Old Testament times, charging interest was a common practice—even when it placed an unbearable burden on the poor.
These verses remind me that our actions must reflect the Lord’s character of mercy, kindness, and provision. Father-God was not calling His people to offer only temporary relief, but to provide support that would allow the needy to remain part of the community. These verses also teach me that reverence for the Lord should shape our decision-making. How we treat others must always reflect our respect for Father-God’s authority and character.
One Bible commentary I read explained that the goal of supporting those who cannot support themselves is restoration, not mere relief. I love this interpretation because it honors the dignity of the person in need. Helping to restore someone who is struggling acknowledges that Father-God created them with purpose and value. The Lord does not desire His children to remain trapped in poverty, but to be restored so they can fulfill His plan for their lives.
This passage also reminds me of the times I struggled financially and of the people who helped me get back on my feet—not simply through handouts, but by helping me find work and learn better money management. Their kindness restored me, enabling me to move forward and fulfill the Lord’s plan for my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who desires restoration for all His children—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 37 Bible Readings for February 8 - Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
Leviticus 21-23, Psalm 37
Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”
In Psalm 37:23–24, David writes about the Lord’s guidance and support for those who believe in Him and live righteously. Father-God actively directs the steps of His followers through the Holy Spirit. David tells us that the Lord takes pleasure in the details of His children’s lives. However, David does not deny that believers will stumble or fail at times. Instead, he reminds us that Father-God will support us because we have a personal relationship with Him. The Lord promises to hold our hand, providing encouragement and hope, and to uphold His children through life’s difficulties.
What stood out to me most today is David’s acknowledgment that faith in the Lord does not guarantee an absence of failure or moments of weakness. There are times when I have mistakenly thought that my faith in Father-God and my attentiveness to the Holy Spirit should somehow make me immune to sin or unwanted thoughts. But I know that is not true.
Even though I do not enjoy being the focus of attention, my ego still craves affirmation in subtle ways. When I see others receiving attention, my perspective can shift. In those moments, self-pity can creep in, and I start to believe that something must be wrong with me. But the Holy Spirit reminds me that the Lord loves me and cares for me deeply. Recently, Father-God allowed me to experience a long-held dream of volunteering at a crusade. Even when I stumble, the Lord holds my hand and reminds me that He is directing the steps of my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who holds your hand through life’s difficulties—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 36 Bible Readings for February 7 - Leviticus 19:26 (NLT)
Leviticus 19-20, Psalm 36
Leviticus 19:26 (NLT)
“Do not eat meat that has not been drained of its blood. Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft.”
In Leviticus 19:26, the Lord gives Moses laws intended to separate His people from pagan practices. Father-God instructs the Israelites not to eat meat with the blood still in it and not to practice divination or witchcraft.
One Bible commentary I read explained that in the ancient world, consuming blood was common in pagan religious rituals because blood was believed to contain a life force. Understanding this context helped me see why this command appears in Leviticus. Divination and sorcery were also widespread practices in ancient cultures and were used to predict the future or manipulate events through supernatural means. Turning to these practices revealed a lack of trust in the Lord and a dependence on other spiritual powers.
In today’s world, these practices often seem harmless because they are no longer widely associated with formal religious worship. In many cultures, animal blood is consumed in foods such as sausage. Newspapers and media outlets also feature daily or weekly horoscope columns, which became popular in the early twentieth century. I grew up around foods made with pig blood, and even as a child I never liked them. Looking back now, I see how the Lord was already shaping my instincts long before I understood why. The Lord calls His people to be distinct from the cultures that surround us. Obeying these laws shows our faith and trust in Father-God’s wisdom and provision.
I’ve learned that when I fully place my trust in the Lord—especially by remaining separate from cultural practices that pull my attention away from Him—I hear the guidance of the Holy Spirit more clearly. When I rely on Father-God’s wisdom and direction rather than outside influences, my life functions with greater peace and clarity.
If thus verse resonates with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose ways bring peace and order to your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 35 Bible Readings - Leviticus 18:1-3 (NLT)
Leviticus 16-18, Psalm 35
Leviticus 18:1-3 (NLT)
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. I am the Lord your God. So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life.’”
Leviticus 18:1–3 records the Lord instructing Moses that the people of Israel were to live as a distinct and set-apart people. They were called to adopt a new identity as Father-God’s covenant people and to leave behind the influences of Egypt. The Promised Land was inhabited by nations with different religious practices, and the Lord warned Israel not to adopt their ways. Their conduct and way of life were meant to reflect their covenant relationship with Him.
These verses remind me that as a believer in Jesus Christ, my life should reflect the Lord’s character and nature rather than the desires of the flesh. Much of contemporary culture mirrors the Old Testament world in its rejection of the Lord’s instruction. Media and entertainment often promote instant gratification as the highest good, even when it harms others. Yet Father-God teaches that the second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. When we follow the patterns encouraged by popular culture, our behavior can easily lead to broken relationships and destructive outcomes.
I’ve learned that when I follow the laws and principles the Lord laid out in Scripture, my life simply works better. I experience peace within myself and in my relationships with others. I am able to pursue the dreams I have for my life with clarity and purpose, guided by the Holy Spirit. Living according to the Lord’s ways doesn’t restrict my life—it brings order, peace, and direction.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose ways lead to a life of peace and blessing—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 34 Bible Readings for February 5 - Leviticus 15:31 (NLT)
Leviticus 14-15, Psalm 34
Leviticus 15:31 (NLT)
“This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.”
Leviticus 15:31 shows the Lord’s directive about the importance of ritual purity in relation to the Tabernacle. One Bible commentary I read explained that in Old Testament times, it was common for surrounding cultures to worship their gods through sexual practices, including the use of temple prostitutes. Father-God wanted His people to remain separate from these forms of worship. The Lord established a clear separation between sexual activity and the worship of Father-God.
Until I read this commentary, I did not realize how widespread these practices were in the ancient world. I had seen references to this kind of worship in movies, but I did not understand how common it actually was. This passage helped me better understand why holiness was required in approaching the Lord. Father-God wanted His people to be distinct—set apart from the surrounding cultures—and to worship Him in purity and reverence.
These verses also remind me that if we want the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, we need to treat our bodies as a temple for Him. When I am living in sin, I notice that I resist listening to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. But when I am attentive to the Holy Spirit each day, my life reflects more of the Lord’s character, and things tend to fall into better order. This verse reminds me that the laws the Lord gave in Scripture are not meant to restrict us, but to draw us closer to Him so that we can reflect His nature more fully.
If this verse resonates with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who helps you reflect His holiness and character—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation.

“This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.”
Leviticus 15:31 shows the Lord’s directive about the importance of ritual purity in relation to the Tabernacle. One Bible commentary I read explained that in Old Testament times, it was common for surrounding cultures to worship their gods through sexual practices, including the use of temple prostitutes. Father-God wanted His people to remain separate from these forms of worship. The Lord established a clear separation between sexual activity and the worship of Father-God.
Until I read this commentary, I did not realize how widespread these practices were in the ancient world. I had seen references to this kind of worship in movies, but I did not understand how common it actually was. This passage helped me better understand why holiness was required in approaching the Lord. Father-God wanted His people to be distinct—set apart from the surrounding cultures—and to worship Him in purity and reverence.
These verses also remind me that if we want the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, we need to treat our bodies as a temple for Him. When I am living in sin, I notice that I resist listening to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. But when I am attentive to the Holy Spirit each day, my life reflects more of the Lord’s character, and things tend to fall into better order. This verse reminds me that the laws the Lord gave in Scripture are not meant to restrict us, but to draw us closer to Him so that we can reflect His nature more fully.
If this verse resonates with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who helps you reflect His holiness and character—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 33 Bible Readings - Psalm 33:16-17 (NLT)
Leviticus 11-13, Psalm 33
Psalm 33:16-17 (NLT)
“The best-equipped army cannot save a king, nor is great strength enough to save a warrior. Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—for all its strength, it cannot save you.”
In Psalm 33:16–17, David reminds believers not to rely on human power or military strength for salvation. He understood that a large army could not guarantee victory or secure a king’s reign—true deliverance comes only from the Lord. David also points out the limitations of human strength, emphasizing that individual power is not enough to bring victory. He uses the image of a warhorse, which symbolized military might in biblical times, to show that even the strongest earthly resources cannot save. Our trust must rest in Father-God alone, not in human ability or material strength.
I recently heard a preacher say that one of the ways people go wrong in their faith is by taking credit for what the Lord has accomplished. These verses reflect that truth. People often claim their victories come from their own strength, resources, or effort. Kings trust in their armies, equipment, and skill, believing these things will secure success. I see this same tendency in my own life. I had a goal of writing a novel for more than twenty years, but I could not accomplish it on my own. I tried stubbornly to do everything myself, and it wasn’t until I asked for help from the Holy Spirit that I was able to develop a story I truly love. I know with certainty that I did not reach this point in my writing journey without the Lord’s help.
My relationship with the Holy Spirit continues to teach me that when I rely on God rather than my own strength, I am able to move forward in ways I could not before. Victory does not come from self-sufficiency, but from trust and dependence on the Lord.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who brings true victory in every area of life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus.

Day 32 Bible Readings for February 3 - Leviticus 10:8-9 (NLT)
Leviticus 8-10, Psalm 32
Leviticus 10:8-9 (NLT)
“Then the Lord said to Aaron, ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink before going into the Tabernacle. If you do, you will die. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.’”
In Leviticus 10:8–9, the Lord instructs Aaron on the importance of maintaining holiness while serving in the Tabernacle. Father-God prohibits the priests from drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages while performing their duties and establishes this as a lasting command for the priestly line throughout their generations.
These verses stood out to me because after I was saved, I became more aware of the importance of living a life of holiness. I realized that to listen clearly to the Holy Spirit, I need to maintain a clear and alert mind. Even a small amount of alcohol clouds my judgment and leaves me feeling unfocused the next day. I want to remain spiritually prepared to serve the Lord and to discern His will in my life. One biblical commentary noted that living a life of holiness allows a believer to approach Father-God with reverence, clarity, and purity.
When I reflect on my own life, I can see that many of my poorest decisions were made when I drank too much. These verses remind me that choosing holiness leads to better discernment and wiser decisions. When my mind and spirit are clear, I am better able to recognize the guidance of the Lord and walk in obedience to His will.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who guides us toward wisdom and discernment—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him.

Day 31 Bible Readings for February 2 - Leviticus 7:22-23 (NLT)
Leviticus 5-7, Psalm 31
Leviticus 7:22-23 (NLT)
“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats.’”
In Leviticus 7:22–23, the Lord tells Moses that the people are prohibited from eating the fat of certain animals. The fat was considered the best part of the animal and was reserved as an offering to the Lord on the altar. One biblical commentary I read noted that this command highlights the principle of giving the best to Father-God and maintaining holiness even in daily practices. Another commentary explained that restricting the consumption of fat reminded the Israelites of their dependence on the Lord and their responsibility to honor Him with their resources.
These verses remind me that we are called to offer our best to the Lord in every area of life. When I serve in my church, I approach my responsibilities with the same care and diligence I would give to paid work. In my writing, the Holy Spirit inspired me to write my story as if I were writing a book for Father-God Himself. When I understood that, I knew I needed to give my very best effort—to write something worthy of Him.
I am also drawn to the idea that this command points to maintaining holiness in everyday life. I am reminded of the song “When Wind Meets Fire” by Elevation Worship, which begins with the line, “Let my life be an altar.” If my life is an altar to the Lord, then I need to live with intentional holiness, knowing that everything I do is seen by Father-God. These verses challenge me to honor the Lord not only through what I offer, but through how I live.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is worthy of the very best we have to offer—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus.

Day 30 Bible Readings for February 1 - Psalm 30:11-12 (NLT)
Leviticus 1-4, Psalm 30
Psalm 30:11-12 (NLT)
“You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!”
In Psalm 30:11–12, David remembers the many times the Lord transformed his sorrow into joy. He declares that his mourning was turned into dancing and that Father-God clothed him with joy. David recognizes that the Lord changed his circumstances so that he could sing praises and not remain silent. He resolves to thank and praise the Lord forever.
These verses remind me of the Lord’s power to transform even the deepest seasons of sorrow into joy. In biblical times, people wore sackcloth during periods of mourning or repentance, and the removal of sackcloth symbolized the end of suffering and the beginning of restoration. To be clothed with joy is to experience the Lord’s healing and renewal. These verses also remind me that Father-God cares for me and desires to hear my praise and gratitude.
I can look back on my life and see several seasons when the Lord clothed me with joy after periods of mourning and hardship. What I recognize now is that I do not praise Father-God often enough. I tend to praise Him when a miracle arrives, but David’s words remind me that praise should be continual. The Lord deserves my gratitude not only for the miracles I experience, but also for His constant faithfulness throughout my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who turns mourning into joy and is worthy of continual praise—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 29 Bible Readings for January 31 - Exodus 35:1-2 (NLT)
Exodus 35-40, Psalm 29
Exodus 35:1-2 (NLT)
“Then Moses called together the whole community of Israel
and told them, ‘These are the instructions the Lord has commanded you to
follow. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day
must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord.
Anyone who works on that day must be put to death.’”
In Exodus 35:1–2, Moses gives the people instructions from
the Lord regarding their work and rest. Father-God commands the people to work
for six days and to set apart the seventh day as a Sabbath—a day of complete
rest and a holy day dedicated to the Lord.
These verses remind me of the care the Lord has for His
people. God intentionally commanded His people to take one full day of rest
each week and to dedicate it to worship and reflection. One Bible study I read
explained that observing a “complete rest” requires trust—trusting in
Father-God’s provision rather than relying solely on human effort. Rest becomes
an act of faith, not inactivity.
These verses also show me that the Lord values community and
worship as part of the rhythm of faith. God never intended the journey of faith
to be lived alone. Gathering with other believers provides encouragement,
accountability, and support. The seriousness attached to the Sabbath command
shows how deeply Father-God cared about protecting His people from exhaustion,
distraction, and self-reliance.
I love going to church each week, but there are times when I
feel tempted to sleep in or skip it. These verses remind me that honoring the
Sabbath is not about obligation alone, but about valuing what the Lord has
given me. When I choose rest and worship, I am choosing alignment with God’s
design for my life and renewing my trust in Him.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who cares so deeply for His people that He
built rest into their lives—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him.
Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him,
and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful
and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of
Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel,

Day 28 Bible Readings - Exodus 34:6-7 (NLT)
Exodus 32-34, Psalm 28
Exodus 34:6-7 (NLT)
“The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, ‘Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.”
In Exodus 34:6–7, the Lord reveals His character to Moses. Father-God describes Himself as compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love and faithfulness. His love is unfailing and extends far beyond a single human lifespan. The Lord forgives every kind of human wrongdoing, yet He does not leave sin unaddressed. He makes clear that the consequences of sin can affect future generations.
These verses are central to my understanding of the Lord’s nature. Father-God shows compassion, grace, patience, love, and truth in His relationship with His people. He is deeply forgiving, yet He is also just. The Lord’s refusal to ignore sin reflects His care for future generations, since unchecked sin can bring lasting harm.
At the same time, these verses show me the values I am called to reflect in my own life. Being slow to anger is one of the hardest for me. I tend to be overly critical, and I can easily become frustrated with people when I perceive a lack of common sense or competence. Recently, I heard someone say that as believers in Jesus Christ, we should view each person as someone Christ was willing to die for on the cross. That perspective stopped me. I realized I rarely think of people that way, and it made me confront my critical nature with humility. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am learning to work on that tendency so that my life more closely reflects the Lord’s character—especially His patience and mercy.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is loving, just, and faithful to His people—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 27 Bible Readings - Exodus 31:6-11 (NLT)
Exodus 30-31, Psalm 27
Exodus 31:6-11 (NLT)
“Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”
In Exodus 31:6–11, the Lord tells Moses about the people He has chosen and equipped to build the Tabernacle. Father-God appoints Oholiab to assist Bezalel in its construction and gives skill and wisdom to other craftsmen as well. These artisans are empowered to create everything required for worship—the furnishings of the Tabernacle, the woven garments, and the anointing oil for Aaron and his sons. Through this passage, we see that the work of God is accomplished through many people, each equipped with specific abilities.
These verses remind me that the Lord chooses and equips people for particular purposes in the building of His church. Father-God has a role for every believer and provides the skills needed to carry out that work. Building the church and leading people to salvation is a communal effort that requires many different gifts. It took me a long time to recognize what my own contribution was, even though people throughout my life consistently reflected back to me that writing was a skill the Lord had given me. In nearly every job I’ve held, writing became part of my work—even when it wasn’t part of my job description.
For a long time, I never considered myself a skilled writer. I assumed I was simply a little better than average and accepted writing tasks without much thought. Since my salvation, however, I’ve begun to understand that writing is a gift Father-God entrusted to me and that He intends to use it for His purposes. I am also learning that my writing is an act of worship and obedience—a way to serve the Lord and participate in His plan for the world.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who equips each person with the gifts needed to fulfill His plan—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 26 Bible Readings - Exodus 29:45-46 (NLT)
Exodus 28-29, Psalm 26
Exodus 29:45-46 (NLT)
“Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.”
In Exodus 29:45–46, the Lord declares His commitment to His people. Father-God promises to dwell among the descendants of Abraham, demonstrating His faithfulness and desire for relationship. The Lord wants His people to know that He is their God—the One who delivered them out of the bondage of slavery in Egypt. These verses reveal God’s intention to live among those who belong to Him.
These verses remind me that when I was saved through Jesus Christ, I became a child of God. Father-God desires a covenant relationship with me, just as He did with Abraham’s descendants. Scripture shows how the Lord delivered His people from slavery in Egypt and fulfilled His promises to Abraham, reminding believers that He is always faithful. In the same way, Christ saved us through His death and resurrection, delivering us from the slavery and bondage of sin. After His resurrection, He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within believers. Through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Lord continues to guide, provide for, and protect His people—just as His presence dwelled with Israel in the Tabernacle in the Old Testament.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who faithfully dwells with His people—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 25 Bible Readings for January 27 – Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)
Exodus 25-27, Psalm 25
Psalm 25:4-5 (NLT)
“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.”
In Psalm 25:4–5, David expresses his desire for guidance, understanding, and instruction from the Lord. He asks Father-God to show him His ways so that he can understand His will. David demonstrates a willingness to learn and be led by the Lord. He recognizes that Father-God is the source of his salvation—the One who delivers him from danger and from his enemies. David also shows patience, trusting in the Lord’s timing and provision.
These verses resonate deeply with me, and I feel the need to keep them visible as a daily reminder. My church recently completed a 21-day prayer and fast for the new year, and one of our senior pastors encouraged us not to focus solely on asking God to fulfill our requests, but instead to ask, “Lord, what is Your will and plan for my life this year?” When I tried praying this way, it felt unfamiliar at first. Then I realized that Father-God already knows my desires—I don’t need to list them repeatedly during prayer and fasting.
Something happened during this time that felt truly miraculous to me. My best friend, who has never shown interest in faith or church, told me she wanted to attend one of my senior pastor’s evangelistic meetings. Over time, I had simply shared with her what I was experiencing at church and how it was shaping my life, without any expectation that she would respond. She has always been strongly opposed to organized religion, so this was completely unexpected. When I looked up my pastor’s schedule, I discovered he would be preaching at a revival meeting near where she lives. When I shared this with her, she said she was going to go.
I had been praying for the Lord to bring new friends into my life who love Him, since none of my close friends are currently believers. Instead of giving me new friendships, Father-God answered my prayer by drawing my best friend toward Him. That shift alone feels miraculous to me. Whatever happens next, I trust that she will have an encounter with the Lord this year. Knowing that something I once thought was impossible is now unfolding fills me with joy.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who makes the impossible possible in our lives—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation.

Day 24 Bible Readings - Exodus 23:4-5 (NLT)
Exodus 22-24, Psalm 24
Exodus 23:4-5 (NLT)
“If you come upon your enemy’s ox or
donkey that has strayed away, take it back to its owner. If you see that the
donkey of someone who hates you has collapsed under its load, do not walk by.
Instead, stop and help.”
Exodus 23:4–5 contains laws that promote kindness and
compassion. The Lord tells Moses that if someone sees their enemy’s animal
wandering off, they are to return it. If an enemy’s donkey collapses under its
load, they must stop and help rather than ignore the situation. Father-God
established these laws so His people could live peacefully with one another,
emphasizing justice, compassion, and responsibility. The Lord encourages
kindness even toward one’s enemies and calls His people to take practical steps
toward peace and reconciliation.
These verses remind me that I am called to reflect the
Lord’s character even toward those who dislike or oppose me. Christ offers
salvation to everyone, including those who were once His enemies. I cannot
claim to love others if my actions do not reflect that belief. This law teaches
us to overcome hostility with intentional acts of goodness. My feelings toward
someone cannot determine whether I treat them rightly.
There are people in my church community who are not enemies,
yet for various reasons we do not connect well. I can sense that they do not
care for me, but because we share the same community, I choose to treat them
with kindness and respect. I know I would not be able to do this without the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. I have seen the value of choosing kindness within
a community—setting aside personal feelings so that the work of the Lord can
continue and others can be drawn to Him.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gave His people laws that promote peace
and compassion—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is

salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 23 Bible Readings - Exodus 20:16 (NLT)
Exodus 19-21, Psalm 23
Exodus 20:16 (NLT)
“You must not testify falsely against your neighbor.”
Exodus 20:16, the ninth commandment, instructs believers not
to bear false witness against another. Giving false testimony—especially in
legal or communal settings—can lead to unjust outcomes, wrongful punishment, or
even death. Truthfulness is essential for justice and social order. Lying
damages reputations, destroys relationships, and ultimately becomes a sin not
only against one’s neighbor but against the Lord.
Many biblical scholars note that this commandment extends
beyond outright lies. It also includes slander, talebearing—repeating a report
without careful investigation—and creating false impressions through silence.
Questioning someone’s motives without evidence and using flattery for
manipulation also violate the spirit of this commandment.
This verse stood out to me because it feels as though we
live in a culture that continually breaks this commandment. People spread lies
on social media without verifying the truth. News reporting often presents only
one side of a story rather than offering a balanced account. In legal cases,
later discoveries sometimes reveal that someone was wrongfully convicted
because the truth was withheld. I have also witnessed this commandment violated
in everyday life—through coworkers undermining one another, people remaining
silent to allow false impressions to stand, or using flattery to gain favor
while harboring ill intent.
At the same time, I have observed that when people break the
ninth commandment, the truth eventually comes to light. When it does, lies
damage relationships and deeply hurt those involved. This verse reminds me that
as a follower of Christ, I am accountable to Father-God for my words.
Truthfulness is foundational to trust and integrity—both in my relationship
with the Lord and with others. My words must reflect both truth and love so
that I do not cause harm.
If this verse resonates with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives us His laws so that we can live
in truth and harmony with one another—this may be your moment. Open your heart
to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with
Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is
faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 22 Bible Readings - Exodus 17:11-13 (NLT)
Exodus 16-18, Psalm 22
Exodus 17:11-13 (NLT)
“As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the
Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites
gained the advantage. Moses’ arms soon became so tired he could no longer hold
them up. So Aaron and Hur found a stone for him to sit on. Then they stood on
each side of Moses, holding up his hands. So his hands held steady until
sunset. As a result, Joshua overwhelmed the army of Amalek in battle.”
Exodus 17:11–13 reminds believers of the power of prayer,
intercession, and dependence on the Lord for victory. When the Amalekites
attacked Israel, Moses instructed Joshua to take men and fight them. While
Joshua led the battle, Moses interceded before the Lord on the hill. As long as
Moses held up his hands, the Israelites prevailed; when he lowered them, the
Amalekites gained ground. Because Moses grew weary, Aaron and Hur supported his
hands so they remained raised until Joshua defeated the Amalekites.
These verses remind me that prayer and dependence on the
Lord are essential in every battle. I will never win simply through my own
strength or determination; I must rely on Father-God for help and guidance.
This passage also shows how important it is to have others pray and intercede
for us when we grow weary and need support to persevere. At the same time,
these verses emphasize the importance of action. Moses’ intercession did not
remove the need for Joshua to fight—it strengthened it. In the same way, I must
rely on Father-God while continuing to take faithful action in the situations I
face. This story reassures me that the Lord is faithful to care for His people
when we rely on Him and call on Him in prayer.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One you can rely on to help you fight your
battles—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 21 Bible Readings - Exodus 13:11-13 (NLT)
Exodus 13-15, Psalm 21
Exodus 13:11-13 (NLT)
“This is what you must do when the Lord fulfills the promise
he swore to you and to your ancestors. When he gives you the land where the
Canaanites now live, you must present all firstborn sons and firstborn male
animals to the Lord, for they belong to him. A firstborn donkey may be bought
back from the Lord by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place. But if you
do not buy it back, you must break its neck. However, you must buy back every
firstborn son.”
In Exodus 13:11–13, Moses explains to the people how and why
they are to dedicate their firstborn to the Lord. He tells them that their
firstborn belong to Father-God as a reminder of how the Lord delivered them
from slavery in Egypt. Moses also explains what substitutions are permitted
when the firstborn is not suitable for sacrifice. For example, a lamb or young
goat could be substituted for a firstborn donkey, and a firstborn son was to be
redeemed with a payment.
What struck me in these verses is how early in the Old
Testament the Lord begins to reveal His redemptive plan. The lamb used as a
substitute points forward to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. Christ would
become the ultimate substitute sacrifice, offered for the redemption of
humanity. The redemption of the firstborn sons also directly recalls the tenth
plague, when the Israelites smeared the blood of a lamb on their doorposts and
were spared from the death of their firstborn. In the same way, Christ’s sacrifice
spares believers from spiritual death and eternal separation from God.
I love how these verses remind me that the Lord has always
had a plan for His people. As believers, we are called to trust Father-God even
when His purposes feel distant or difficult to understand. Scripture
consistently shows us how faithful the Lord is and how He fulfills His promises
in ways that unfold over time. Father-God cares deeply for His people and has a
plan that extends beyond this life and into eternity.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who has a plan to care for His people
throughout eternity—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to
Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 20 Bible Readings - Exodus 12:40-41 (NLT)
Exodus 10-12, Psalm 20
Exodus 12:40-41 (NLT)
“The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years. In
fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left
the land.”
In Exodus 12:40–41, we see the fulfillment of the Lord’s
promise to Abraham. Abraham’s descendants lived in Egypt for 430 years—first as
honored guests and later as enslaved people. They left Egypt on the very
anniversary of their arrival, demonstrating to believers the sovereignty of the
Lord and the precision of His timing.
I love these verses because they remind me that the Lord
always fulfills His promises in His own time and in His own way. Some have even
described the Israelites’ departure on the exact anniversary of their arrival
as supernatural because of its precision. From a human perspective, such timing
would be impossible to plan. Yet these verses show believers that Father-God is
sovereign over history itself, and that we can trust His timing even when it
feels delayed to us.
I have only one experience so far in my life where the
Lord’s timing felt almost supernatural, but it continues to fill me with awe.
When I was preparing to move to another state, the Holy Spirit impressed on me
that I would find a job within six months of relocating. Almost exactly six
months after my move, I received an offer letter. I had applied for the
position the week before and received the offer the following week. Through
that experience, the Lord showed me that I could trust His promises and His timing,
and that He is faithful to provide.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One you can trust to fulfill His promises—this
may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing
your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His
presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where
you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 19 Bible Readings - Exodus 8:18-19 (NLT)
Exodus 7-9, Psalm 19
Exodus 8:18-19 (NLT)
“Pharaoh’s magicians tried to do the same thing with their
secret arts, but this time they failed. And the gnats covered everyone, people
and animals alike. ‘This is the finger of God!’ the magicians exclaimed to
Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He wouldn’t listen to them, just as
the Lord had predicted.”
In Exodus 8:18–19, Pharaoh’s magicians finally admit that
their power is limited and that the God of Moses is greater than their own. The
magicians had previously been able to replicate some of the earlier
signs—turning staffs into serpents, water into blood, and even the plague of
frogs. However, they were unable to reproduce the plague of gnats. At that
point, they acknowledged that this plague was the “finger of God,”
recognizing that the power at work through Moses exceeded their abilities. Even
so, Pharaoh refused to listen to their warning. Because of his stubbornness and
pride, he rejected the evidence of Father-God’s power, just as the Lord had
foretold.
I have always found it striking that it took ten signs and
wonders before Pharaoh finally allowed the people to leave Egypt. This passage
helps me see how stubbornness and pride can prevent people from recognizing the
power of the Lord, even when it is plainly revealed. Pharaoh ignored the
counsel of his own advisors when they acknowledged that the God of Moses was
greater than they were. Some biblical scholars have noted that the plague of
gnats may not have affected Pharaoh directly, since he could retreat into his
palace. It was not until Pharaoh experienced a personal loss that his
resistance began to break.
When I look back on my own life, I can see how stubbornness
and pride sometimes kept me from asking the Lord for help. I took confidence in
my intellect and my ability to solve problems on my own, and I was patient
enough to exhaust every option before turning to God. These verses remind me
that Father-God is sovereign and that nothing can ultimately stand in the way
of His will. Even human pride and resistance cannot prevent the Lord from
accomplishing His purposes in the world—or in our lives.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is sovereign and able to work through
every situation to accomplish His plan for your life—this may be your moment.
Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your
desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your
life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 18 Bible Readings - Exodus 4:21-23 (NLT)
Exodus 4-6, Psalm 18
Exodus 4:21-23 (NLT)
And the Lord told Moses, “When you arrive back in Egypt, go
to Pharaoh and perform all the miracles I have empowered you to do. But I will
harden his heart so he will refuse to let the people go. Then you will tell
him, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son. I commanded you, “Let
my son go, so he can worship me.” But since you have refused, I will now kill
your firstborn son!’”
In Exodus 4:21–23, the Lord tells Moses what will happen
when he returns to Egypt. Father-God instructs Moses to perform the signs and
miracles He will empower him to do. At the same time, the Lord warns Moses that
Pharaoh will resist, and that this resistance will be part of God’s plan.
Father-God declares that Israel is His firstborn son, and He makes it clear
that if Pharaoh refuses to let His people go, judgment will follow—including
the death of Pharaoh’s firstborn.
These are verses that had never stood out to me before. The
Lord had full foreknowledge of everything Moses would face in Egypt and chose
to reveal it to him in advance. Moses knew his task would be difficult, yet he
remained faithful to his calling and trusted Father-God’s plan and timing.
These verses also remind me that the Lord always keeps His promises. Father-God
had told Abraham that his descendants would live as strangers in a foreign
land, be enslaved for four hundred years, and then be delivered (Genesis
15:13–14). Everything unfolded exactly as the Lord had said it would.
I’ve had moments in my own life when the Holy Spirit gave me
glimpses of what was ahead, and at the time, those things felt impossible. Yet
as the years passed, my life unfolded in ways that aligned with what the Holy
Spirit had shown me. The greatest struggle for me was always timing. The Lord’s
plans for my life have never followed my schedule or my understanding. For a
long time, that disconnect made it difficult for me to believe that God truly
cared about me. But through my salvation and my daily reading of Scripture, my
relationship with the Lord has deepened. I now know that I must trust His plan
even when I cannot understand it. When I place my trust in Father-God, His Word
continually reminds me that He is faithful and that He always keeps His promises
to His children.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is faithful and always keeps His
promises—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 17 Bible Readings - Exodus 3:11-12 (NLT)
Exodus 1-3, Psalm 17
Exodus 3:11-12 (NLT)
“But Moses protested to God, ‘Who am I to appear before
Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?’ God answered, ‘I
will be with you. And this is your sign that I am the one who has sent you:
When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this
very mountain.’”
In Exodus 3:11–12, Moses demonstrates a common human
reaction when the Lord calls someone to a difficult task. Moses expresses fear,
doubt, inadequacy, and a sense of unworthiness to lead the people of Israel out
of Egypt. The Lord does not answer Moses’ concern about his worthiness or
self-esteem. Instead, Father-God reassures Moses with a simple but powerful
promise: “I will be with you.” The Lord redirects Moses’ focus away from
himself and onto God’s faithfulness and purpose. He also gives Moses a sign,
declaring that Moses will one day bring the people back to worship Him at Mount
Sinai—confirming that this deliverance is God’s plan.
These verses remind me that feelings of fear, doubt, and
inadequacy are normal when the Lord asks us to do something that stretches us.
When the Lord called me to write stories that would lead people toward Him, I
felt many of the same emotions Moses expressed. Every believer has a role in
Father-God’s plan, and our lack of self-confidence should not prevent us from
obeying His call. When I acknowledged my feelings of inadequacy, the Holy
Spirit reminded me that I could rely on the Lord’s help. As long as I focused
on myself and my fears, I remained stuck. I was trying to write on my own, and
my doubt and sense of unworthiness kept interfering with my work.
When I began to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, my
fears quieted. Now, I depend on His guidance each day as I write, and He helps
silence the inner voice that asks, “Who am I to write stories that inspire
others to seek the Lord?” Instead of focusing on my limitations, I choose to
trust in Father-God and remember how faithful He has been in my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who promises to be with you in every plan
He has for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to
Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 16 Bible Readings - Genesis 50:25-26 (NLT)
Genesis 48-50, Psalm 16
Genesis 50:25-26 (NLT)
“Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, and he
said, ‘When God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones
with you.’ So Joseph died at the age of 110. The Egyptians embalmed him, and
his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt.”
In Genesis 50:25–26, Joseph made his brothers swear that
they would take his bones back to the Promised Land. As Joseph was dying, he
reminded them that the Lord would one day help their descendants leave Egypt.
When that time came, Joseph insisted that his bones be carried with them so
that he could be laid to rest with his ancestors. Joseph lived to the age of
110, and after his death, his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
These verses remind me of the absolute faith Joseph had in
the promises of the Lord. Even though he spent most of his life in Egypt,
Joseph never forgot the covenant promises that Father-God had made to his
father Jacob and to the descendants of Abraham. Joseph was so confident in the
Lord’s faithfulness that he required his brothers to swear an oath not to leave
his bones behind when they eventually departed Egypt. Scripture later tells us
that Joseph’s bones were carried out of Egypt, meaning he was never truly
buried there. Some biblical scholars note that Joseph’s coffin remained
unburied for generations—a visible reminder that the Lord would one day fulfill
His promise to lead His people out of bondage.
Joseph’s faith also challenges me to be mindful of my words
and actions regarding my own future. Joseph never expressed doubt about the
Lord’s promises, even though their fulfillment would come long after his
lifetime. His confidence was so strong that he acted as if the promise were
already settled. Instead of only asking Father-God to help me accomplish
something, these verses remind me to thank Him in advance, trusting that He
will guide me through the work by the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph’s example
inspires me to align my faith and actions with the same confidence he had in
the Lord’s promises.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who always fulfills His promises to His
people—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer,
expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to
welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you
exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
Day 15 Bible Readings for January 17 - Genesis 46:3-5 (NLT)
Genesis 46-47, Psalm 15
Genesis 46:3-5 (NLT)
“‘I am God, the God of your father,’ the voice said. ‘Do not
be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great
nation. I will go with you down to Egypt, and I will bring you back again. You
will die in Egypt, but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes.’ So Jacob
left Beersheba, and his sons took him to Egypt. They carried him and their
little ones and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh had provided for them.”
In Genesis 46:3–5, Jacob receives reassurance from the Lord
as he prepares to travel to Egypt to see his son Joseph. Father-God tells Jacob
not to be afraid to go to Egypt, promising that He will care for Jacob’s family
there and make them into a great nation. The Lord also assures Jacob that He
will bring him back to the Promised Land and that Joseph will be with him at
the time of his death. After receiving this reassurance, Jacob trusted the Lord
and continued his journey to Egypt.
These verses remind me that the Lord knows our fears even
when we do not speak them aloud. Jacob was afraid to move his entire family to
Egypt, even to be reunited with Joseph, and the Lord met him in that fear with
reassurance. These verses also show believers that when we are in a covenant
relationship with the Lord, He is present with us through every season of life.
Father-God understands the desires of our hearts; He promised Jacob not only
provision and protection, but also a peaceful death surrounded by his loved
ones and a final resting place among his ancestors. Jacob’s immediate obedience
shows believers how to trust in the Lord’s promises for our own lives.
When I look back on the many changes I have experienced
throughout my life—especially after my salvation—I can see how the daily
guidance of the Holy Spirit helped me navigate those transitions. His presence
made difficult changes feel less frightening than similar moments before I knew
the Lord. Because I have experienced God’s faithfulness firsthand, I trust in
His provision and promises for my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who brings peace and guidance through
life’s changes—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 14 Bible Readings - Genesis 43:25-26 (NLT)
Genesis 43-45, Psalm 16
Genesis 43:25-26 (NLT)
“They were told they would be eating there, so they prepared
their gifts for Joseph’s arrival at noon. When Joseph came home, they gave him
the gifts they had brought him, then bowed low to the ground before him.”
In Genesis 43:25–26, Joseph’s brothers make a second trip to
Egypt to buy grain, and we see the fulfillment of Joseph’s dream from Genesis
37:7. When they arrived, Joseph invited them to dine with him. The brothers
prepared the gift their father Jacob had instructed them to bring in order to
find favor with Joseph. When they came before him, they bowed down, mirroring
Joseph’s dream of his brothers’ sheaves bowing down to his own.
As I read these verses, I immediately thought of Joseph’s
earlier dream. The brothers had already bowed before Joseph during their first
visit to Egypt, but in this scene, they also brought gifts to gain his
favor—treating him with the honor due to a ruler or king. When Joseph first
shared his dream, his brothers rebuked him for believing he would reign over
them. Now, without realizing it, they were acting in fulfillment of that very
dream.
These verses remind me that the Lord’s plans and promises
may take time, but they are always fulfilled. Joseph was sold into slavery,
falsely accused, and imprisoned, yet he remained faithful to Father-God. He did
not abandon his trust in the Lord, even when circumstances seemed to contradict
the promises he had been given.
If the Lord has given you a dream or a plan for your life,
do not give up on it. Father-God gave me a desire to write many years ago, but
it took a long time for me to develop the confidence to consider submitting my
work for publication. Still, I never let go of the sense that the Lord had
called me to write. I explored many paths—taking classes and writing short
stories and screenplays—while continuing to trust Him. It wasn’t until I
entered into a deeper covenant relationship with the Lord that I gained the
clarity and confidence to pursue a story that felt right for publication and to
begin researching places for submission. My dream is not yet complete, but I
trust that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it will be fulfilled.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives purpose to your life and helps
you fulfill it—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 13 Bible Readings - Genesis 42:21-22 (NLT)
Genesis 41-42, Psalm 13
Genesis 42:21-22 (NLT)
“Speaking among themselves, they said, ‘Clearly we are being
punished because of what we did to Joseph long ago. We saw his anguish when he
pleaded for his life, but we wouldn’t listen. That’s why we’re in this trouble.’
‘Didn’t I tell you not to sin against the boy?’ Reuben asked. ‘But you wouldn’t
listen. And now we have to answer for his blood!’”
In Genesis 42:21–22, we see Joseph’s brothers acknowledging
that their past sin against Joseph is connected to their current distress. The
brothers traveled to Egypt to buy grain, where Joseph recognized them but
accused them of being spies. He imprisoned them for three days and told them
they would only be released if they brought their youngest brother, Benjamin,
back with them to prove their innocence. At this point, Reuben reminded his
brothers that he had warned them not to sin against Joseph, but they had
refused to listen.
This scene reflects the biblical principle of sowing and
reaping—that sinful actions have consequences. Joseph’s brothers had sinned
against him, and their guilty consciences now forced them to confront the
results of what they had done. Their distress awakened a recognition that they
were reaping what they had earlier sown. Reuben’s words reinforced this truth
when he reminded them that they now had to answer for their crime against their
brother.
These verses remind me that my actions have consequences,
especially when those actions involve sin. The fact that Joseph’s brothers
immediately connected their suffering to their past behavior shows that sin is
not easily forgotten. Our sinful choices can linger in our consciences,
reminding us that we missed the mark, acted out of fear, and failed to trust in
the Lord’s provision and blessings.
Recently, I heard a sermon in which the preacher said that
believers must be intentional about what they watch and give their attention
to. When we repeatedly see people sin without apparent consequences, it can
subtly influence our thinking. This doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy entertainment,
but it does mean we should be discerning. Constant exposure to unrepentant
behavior can dull our awareness that sin has real effects. I find myself
reading posts on X and asking, Is this person reacting out of fear or out of
love? My faith in the Lord gives me a firm foundation that helps me evaluate my
own responses. When my actions reflect how Christ would respond, I find that my
choices lead to better outcomes.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 12 Bible Readings - Genesis 39:20-22 (NLT)
Genesis 38-40, Psalm 12
Genesis 39:20-22 (NLT)
“And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison,
the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.
But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor
in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison put
Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done
there, he was the one who did it.”
In Genesis 39:20–22, we read how the Lord cared for Joseph
no matter where he was. After Joseph’s master believed his wife’s false
accusation, Joseph was thrown into prison. Even in those dire circumstances,
Joseph remained faithful to the Lord. The Lord was with Joseph and showed him
steadfast love, granting him favor with the prison warden. As a result, Joseph
was given a position of responsibility, and the warden placed all the prisoners
under his care. Joseph was put in charge of everything that happened in the
prison.
These verses remind me that no matter what circumstances I
face, I must continue to place my trust in the Lord. Joseph’s experience shows
believers that Father-God is present with His people even in the most difficult
seasons. Joseph is an example of faithfulness in the midst of repeated
hardship. His story teaches us that the Lord’s favor can follow us wherever we
go when we remain faithful to Him.
When I look back over my own life, I can see seasons of
significant challenge. After my mother died, the following year my company
relocated to another state and invited me to move with them. I did not want to
relocate, so I made the difficult decision to leave my job. Those two years
were very hard, and I prayed constantly for the Lord’s provision and favor.
Eventually, I was offered a job that was listed as a
three-month temp-to-hire position because the previous three employees had quit
within a short period of time. I was hesitant to accept a position that seemed
so unstable, but the Holy Spirit prompted me to take it. The company offered me
a full-time position after the first week, and I went on to work there for the
next fifteen years. Looking back, I see how Father-God cared for me during my
grief and job loss. Like Joseph, I was not abandoned in hardship—the Lord
provided for me.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who cares for you and blesses you even in
difficult times—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him
in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Day 11 Bible Readings - Psalm 11:4-5 (NLT)
Genesis 35-37, Psalm 11
Psalm 11:4-5 (NLT)
“But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules
from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth. The
Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love
violence.”
In Psalm 11:4–5, David reminds believers that the Lord is
always in control. We can find comfort in knowing that Father-God sees all
people—their actions and their hearts. The Lord watches over His people and
provides guidance and protection. Because Father-God sees everything, believers
are called to live with integrity, knowing that nothing is hidden from Him. The
Lord examines every heart and tests all people, allowing their actions to
reveal their true character—whether they live according to His will and ways or
reject them. David also makes it clear that the Lord loves righteousness and
peace and rejects violence. Those who delight in violence act in opposition to
God’s nature.
These verses remind me that when I see people acting without
integrity, the Lord is fully aware of their behavior and will judge
righteously. They also remind me that Father-God sees all actions—including my
own. Knowing that the Lord examines hearts causes me to pause and reflect
before I act. When I feel anger over the injustices of the world, I try to
release that anger to the Lord, trusting that only He can judge what lies
within a person’s heart.
There are also moments when I feel as though Father-God is
unaware of my suffering. In those times, I remind myself that He sees it
clearly and is watching to see whether I turn to Him for help or allow
bitterness and blame to take root in my heart. Choosing to trust Him in those
moments helps me live in faith and walk with integrity before the Lord.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who sees all things and judges with
righteousness—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in
prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your
willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready
to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 10 Bible Readings - Genesis 32:24-28 (NLT)
Genesis 32-34, Psalm 10
Genesis 32:24-28 (NLT)
“This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and
wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. When the man saw that he
would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its
socket. Then the man said, ‘Let me go, for the dawn is
breaking!’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me.’ ‘What
is your name?’ the man asked. He replied, ‘Jacob.’ ‘Your name will no longer be
Jacob,’ the man told him. ‘From now on you will be called Israel, because
you have fought with God and with men and have won.’”
In Genesis 32:24–28, we read about Jacob wrestling with a
man who is later revealed to be a divine being—an angel of the Lord. Jacob
wrestled with him until daybreak, and when the man saw that he could not
overpower Jacob, he touched Jacob’s hip and dislocated it. Even then, Jacob
refused to let him go until he received a blessing. The man then revealed
Jacob’s new name—Israel—explaining that Jacob had struggled with God and with
men and had prevailed. Jacob’s former name meant “supplanter,” one who grasps or
overtakes.
I love this encounter because it marks Jacob’s deeply
personal moment with the Lord. The wrestling was not merely physical—it
symbolized Jacob’s lifelong struggle with Father-God. Jacob did not give up easily; he
wrestled through the night and refused to let go. Biblical scholars often point
out that when the angel struck Jacob’s hip, it demonstrated Father-God’s power
and authority over him. Jacob’s strength was touched, and yet he still clung to
the Lord. In that moment, Jacob received both a blessing and a new identity.
While I have not had a physical encounter with the Lord like
Jacob, I recognize my own seasons of wrestling with Father-God. I have spent
sleepless nights turning over things the Lord asked me to do—because, like
Jacob, obedience required a change in how I saw myself. Over the past few
years, the Holy Spirit has been drawing me into a deeper relationship with
Jesus Christ, encouraging me to trust more fully in the promises Father-God has given
believers in Scripture.
This has been a struggle for me because the Lord gave me a
capable mind, and I have always been someone who could figure things out on my
own. I rarely relied on others to accomplish what I needed to do. But as I
began to depend more on the Lord and develop a closer relationship with the
Holy Spirit, I realized that trusting Father-God does not mean abandoning wisdom or
intelligence. It means recognizing that true wisdom includes relying on the
Lord’s promises and guidance. I am no longer carrying things alone.
As I’ve learned to trust Father-God more deeply, doors have
opened that I never could have anticipated on my own. I now have confidence—not
in myself alone—but in knowing that I will be successful in doing what the Lord
asks of me because I am guided by His Spirit.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place
your faith in Jesus Christ, the One you can trust to guide and sustain you—this
may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing
your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His
presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where
you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for
all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart
that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is
my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of
salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made
new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
