Day 6 Bible Readings - Psalm 6:8-9 (NLT)

Genesis 19-21, Psalm 6

Psalm 6:8-9 (NLT)

“Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will answer my prayer.”

In Psalm 6:8–9, David demonstrates complete trust in his relationship with the Lord. He tells those who commit evil to depart from him because he knows that Father-God has heard his weeping. David speaks with confidence, assured that the Lord has heard his prayer and will answer him.

I love David’s unwavering trust in the Lord. Even in times of deep distress, David never lost confidence that Father-God heard his prayers and would respond. When we read about the life of King David, we see that his life was far from peaceful. Although the prophet Samuel anointed David as the future king of Israel, King Saul spent the remainder of his reign trying to kill him. David lived as a fugitive, hiding from Saul and his assassins for six to eight years in the wilderness. Yet during this prolonged and painful season, David never lost confidence in the Lord’s love for him or in Father-God’s willingness to hear and answer his prayers.

When I reflect on these verses and remember the trials David endured while fleeing from Saul, I am inspired to trust the Lord as David did. The challenges I face in my own life are small by comparison, and David’s trust in Father-God often surpasses my own. Still, like David, I am learning that when I place my trust in Father-God, He hears my prayers and faithfully answers them.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who hears and answers prayer—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 5 Bible Readings - Genesis 18:12-15 (NLT)

Genesis 16-18, Psalm 5

Genesis 18:12-15 (NLT)

“So she laughed silently to herself and said, ‘How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?’ Then the Lord said to Abraham, ‘Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.’ Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, ‘I didn’t laugh.’  But the Lord said, ‘No, you did laugh.’”

In Genesis 12:1–4, we read about the Lord inviting Abram into a covenant relationship. Father-God instructed Abram to leave his country, his family, and his father’s household and go to a land that He would show him. The Lord promised Abram that his descendants would become a great nation, that He would bless him and make his name great, and that Abram would be a blessing to others. The Lord also promised to favor those who supported Abram and oppose those who cursed him. Father-God declared that through Abram, all the families of the earth would be blessed. Abram obeyed the Lord and left his homeland when he was seventy-five years old.

Each time I read these verses, I am struck by Abram’s obedience to the Lord’s direction. Abram was already established in his homeland when Father-God asked him to leave everything behind. He was not only leaving familiar land but also his family and cultural identity. The Lord was calling Abram to step away from everything he knew and journey toward a destination that had not yet been revealed. Even with the extraordinary promises attached, this would have been a daunting request. Yet Abram did not hesitate—he went. His obedience set in motion a lineage that would eventually lead to the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.

These verses remind me that I am also called to trust Father-God’s promises, even when the future feels uncertain. Abram’s life shows me that the Lord is faithful to those who obey and trust Him. Abram’s obedience and faith had a lasting impact on the world, and his story reassures me that I, too, can impact the world when I choose to walk in faith.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who blesses those who trust and obey Him—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 4 Bible Readings - Genesis 12:1-4 (NLT)

Genesis 12-15, Psalm 4

Genesis 12:1-4 (NLT)

“The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.’ So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.”

Day 3 of 2026 Bible Readings - Genesis 11:3-4 (NLT)

Genesis 8-11, Psalm 3

Genesis 11:3-4 (NLT)

“They began saying to each other, ‘Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.’ (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.) Then they said, ‘Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.’”

In Genesis 11:3–4, we read the well-known story of the Tower of Babel. The people sought to build a city and a tower that reached the heavens. They believed the tower would make them famous, bring them recognition, and prevent them from being scattered across the earth.

I have heard this story many times throughout my life, yet I never fully understood why the building of the Tower of Babel was so displeasing to the Lord. The people no longer viewed Father-God as the source of their security, so they sought to create security for themselves by building a city. In constructing the tower, they attempted to assert their own authority and elevate themselves rather than submit to the Lord’s authority. Their pride led them to believe that the tower would bring them fame and recognition—they desired to glorify themselves rather than Father-God.

Additionally, the Lord had already commanded humanity to “fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28), yet the people feared being scattered and directly disobeyed His instruction. Their fear revealed a lack of trust in Father-God’s provision and His plans for them.

The story of the Tower of Babel reminds me of the many ways I lived before I was saved. Now, I regularly examine whether I am truly viewing the Lord as my source of security. I ask myself whether my actions are driven by a desire for personal recognition or whether they are meant to glorify Father-God. I also reflect on whether my choices reveal trust—or distrust—in the Lord’s plans for my life. Knowing that Father-God is pleased with me fills me with indescribable joy. And now that I understand what it means to live in that assurance, I choose to order my life in ways that honor Him.

If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who brings lasting joy when you see Him as the source of your security—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.
