Daily Devotions Keywords in God’s Word January

Made For Man

FEBRUARY 21 & 22, 2026
Daily Reading—Leviticus 18-19 /  Mark 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 2:27-28 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    What was the sabbath, the day of rest, made for? Well, our verse today tells us. Jesus Himself tells us. The sabbath, or a day of rest, was made for man. Man was not made to worship the day; the day was made and set apart to help the man. To have a day of rest.

    It might be good for us to pay attention to what God has designed and desired for His creation. It is God’s desire and plan that we NOT work twenty-four/seven and have nothing left physically or spiritually for our family and God. So, if it is God’s will that we should rest, who do you think perhaps would want us busy all the time with no time to relax, no time for family, and no time or energy left to even worship the God who gave us this day?

Innocent Blood

FEBRUARY 16, 2026
Daily Reading—Leviticus 7-8 /  Matthew 27:1-32

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Judas realized the blood of Jesus was innocent blood. He tried to make it right by giving back the blood money, but that did not work. He tried to resolve his sin by pleading with sin-filled church leaders to forgive him. That did not work either. They said, “What is that to us?” They knew they could not fix it. Judas went to everyone except Jesus and then died in his sin.

    Too often today, people are confused about how to deal with sin. They become church members, ask for absolution from a priest, or try to buy forgiveness with money. The only way to deal with our sin is to go to the one who shed this precious blood for that sin, ask for His forgiveness, and let Him wash away our sin with that innocent blood.

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Has the Innocent Blood of Christ been applied and washed away your sin?

Alone In The Crowd

FEBRUARY 14 & 15, 2026
Daily Reading—Leviticus 4-6 /  Matthew 26:57-75

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Have you ever been in a crowded room where people are laughing, talking, and enjoying the event, but you don’t know anyone there? People are pleasant as they walk by, saying, “Hello, how are you?” But they don’t know you either and are just making small talk. In a crowd of thousands, you can feel completely alone.

    Today’s verse says Jesus’ friends all left Him. There He was, surrounded by people, yet alone. Even worse, all those who surrounded him wanted to hurt him. Not only was He alone, but He was also tormented. What a horrible experience for the creator of all to endure. His own creations were torturing Him, and the ones who said they loved Him left Him alone. However, this same Jesus has told us He would never leave us nor forsake us. He does not want us to ever feel alone.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What comfort does His presence bring to you?

Ready Or Not!

FEBRUARY 9, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 31-33 /  Matthew 24:27-51

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Do you remember playing hide and seek as a child? One person would be at the goal, counting, while everyone else would go hide. I remember how frustrating it was for me while trying to hide, to continually find other kids in the places I wanted to hide. Then, before I could hide, I would hear, “Ready or not, here I come.” I was not ready and got caught.

 

    Worse than being caught in hide and seek will be anyone not ready when Jesus returns. We must be hidden in the righteousness of Christ when He comes, or our sinfulness will be exposed. It appears that many today believe they have all the time in the world to prepare. However, the Bible says He may come at any time.

   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Are you ready for His return?

It Sure Is Cold

FEBRUARY 7 & 8, 2026
Daily Reading—Exodus 29-30 /  Matthew 24:1-26

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 24:11-12 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    It sure is cold today. No, I am not talking about the weather. I am talking about the atmosphere inside the church. Today, there are more ways of getting the gospel out than ever before. More Bibles in print, more people on the planet, more finances available, and more methods to get the message out. Yet, today, there is also more coldness in the heart of man and in God’s church than ever before. How can this be?

    I think Jesus answered that question in today’s passage. There are more false prophets, more deception, and many in it for money and not for souls. Jesus began this passage with a warning in Matthew 24:4: “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Still a good warning for today.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What is the temperature of your heart today?
