Daily Devotions

Be Of Good Cheer

MARCH 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 5-6 /  Mark 7

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    Fear comes in many packages. Someone can frighten you by saying “boo” at just the right moment. A doctor could instill fear with a less-than-appreciated diagnosis. A troubled family member can send shivers down your spine. The loss of a job may cause a person alarm as they consider what is next. Fear may come in many packages, but it is still fear.

    I like what Jesus said to the disciples when they were struck with fear. He said, “Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” He did not say there is no problem. He said I am here. This is still His promise today. In Hebrews 13:5, He said, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” We can trust Him with any fear. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

What fear can He help you with?
Can you hear Him say,
“Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid”?

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?

Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?

What are the things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?

Some Things Never Change

FEBRUARY 28 & March 1, 2026
Daily Reading—Numbers 3-4 /  Mark 6:30-56

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    When Jesus sent the disciples into the communities to preach, what was their message? Was it, “People, watch for the miracles?” No, although God granted them the ability to do many miracles to substantiate that their message was true. Was it, “Think good thoughts, live a good life, and you will be ok?” No, that has never worked. So, what was the message?

    It is the same message that pastors and Christians need to preach today. They preached “that men should repent.” Sadly, today we hear a lot of “I’m ok, you’re ok” messages from the pulpits of America. Repentance is not a popular message, but it is the right one. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO?:

What will you share with a lost and dying world?
What they want to hear or need to hear?

WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:

     On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading. God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
