YEAR OF THE BIBLE – WEEK 6 DEVOTIONS

February 2, 2026 – Read Psalm 27:1-6 – The psalmist reminds us that the Lord is our light and salvation, a steadfast source of strength in times of fear and uncertainty. When faced with challenges, we can find refuge in His presence, confident that no matter what adversities arise, God will protect and guide us. As we seek His face, we are encouraged to dwell in the house of the Lord, immersing ourselves in His goodness and grace. In moments of trial, let us lift our voices in praise, for He will hear us and lead us to victory, filling our hearts with hope and joy. Embrace the assurance that with the Lord by our side, we can face any storm with unwavering faith.

February 3, 2026 – Read Exodus 17:8-13 – In this passage, we witness a profound illustration of the power of unity and divine intervention. As the Israelites face the Amalekites, Moses raises his hands in prayer, symbolizing reliance on God's strength. When his hands grow weary, Aaron and Hur support him, reminding us that we are not meant to stand alone in our struggles. This passage teaches us the importance of community, encouragement, and the necessity of seeking God’s help in our battles. As we face challenges in our lives, let us remember to lean on one another and lift our hearts to God, knowing that with faith and support, we can overcome any opposition.

February 4, 2026 – Read Exodus 20:1-17 – Early in Israel’s history, God gives them Ten Commandments as a guide for living in harmony with Him and one another. Each commandment serves as a reminder of our relationship with God and the importance of integrity in our dealings with others. As we reflect on these sacred instructions, we are called to honor God by placing Him first in our lives, respecting the sanctity of relationships, and cultivating a spirit of love and honesty. Let us embrace these commandments not just as rules, but as an invitation to deepen our faith and commitment to God’s will, fostering a community rooted in compassion and justice. May we strive daily to embody these principles, allowing them to shape our hearts and actions in a world that greatly needs His light.

February 5, 2026 – Read Proverbs 7:6-23 – The importance of wisdom and discernment in navigating the temptations of life cannot be overstated. Solomon uses the imagery of a young man seduced by an alluring woman as a cautionary tale, illustrating how easily we can be led astray by fleeting desires. This passage calls us to be vigilant and to anchor ourselves in the teachings of the Lord, recognizing that true fulfillment lies not in the momentary pleasures of the world, but in the steadfast love and guidance of our Creator. As we seek to embody wisdom, may we cultivate a heart that values discernment, steering clear of distractions that lead us away from the path of righteousness. Let us pray for strength to resist temptation and for clarity to see the beauty of God’s plans for our lives.

February 6, 2026 – Read Matthew 24:37-44 – “Keep watch!” Jesus admonishes. “For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.” Jesus’ return will be like the days of Noah,  when people were caught unaware by the flood. This passage calls us to reflect on our daily lives and spiritual readiness. Just as the people in Noah's time were distracted by their routines, we too can become complacent amid our busy schedules. Jesus urges us to stay alert, for we do not know the hour of His coming. Let us cultivate a spirit of anticipation, seeking to align our hearts with His will, living each day with purpose and readiness, and sharing His love with others, so that when He returns, we may greet Him with joy and confidence.

February 7, 2026 – Read Matthew 25:14-30 – This passage reminds us about the importance of using our God-given gifts wisely. Each servant is entrusted with resources according to their abilities, reminding us that we are all called to be stewards of our talents, whether they are great or small. The master’s return signifies a day of reckoning, urging us to reflect on how we have invested our lives and abilities for God’s kingdom. Let us not bury our gifts out of fear or complacency, but instead, strive to multiply them, serving others and glorifying God through our actions. May we be inspired to take bold steps in faith, knowing that our efforts, no matter how modest, can yield abundant blessings for His glory.

February 8, 2026 – Read Matthew 25:31-46 – In today’s passage, Jesus vividly illustrates the final judgment, portraying Himself as the King who separates the righteous from the unrighteous. This passage reminds us that our faith is demonstrated through our actions, particularly in how we serve those in need. When we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the lonely, we are not just helping others; we are serving Christ Himself. Let us reflect on our daily lives, seeking opportunities to embody compassion and kindness, knowing that each act of love is a step towards fulfilling our purpose as His disciples. May we strive to see the face of Jesus in everyone we encounter, understanding that our service to others is a reflection of our devotion to Him.
