Matthew 1:21 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

The Gift of Christmas

From conception, Jesus’ purpose was made known: to save His people from their sins. Because even before God created the world—His plan was to save it.

Isn’t it interesting that you didn’t choose the time, place, body, or family in which you were born? But God has you here, right now, on purpose.

You’ve been grafted into an ongoing story playing out since the beginning of time. And this timeless offer, to be saved from the shackles of your sin and freed from a debt you could never pay, has been extended to you.

What is sin? Sin is choosing our way instead of God’s. Sin is rebelling against His design and His plan. And we’ve all done it—we’ve all fallen short of God’s righteous standard.

But that’s why He sent Jesus—because He loved us that much.

Like a soldier who sacrifices his life for his family, friends, or country, Jesus gave His life for the sake of the world.

If you’ve never accepted the free gift of salvation, today can be your day, and this moment can be your moment. There’s nothing you can do to earn it, but you can come to Him—just as you are.

Proverbs 22:4 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

True Humility and Wisdom

God granted King Solomon, the great King of Israel, wisdom beyond measure. From this, King Solomon penned much of the book of Proverbs, providing insight and knowledge regarding right living before God. 

Solomon begins the book of Proverbs with this statement:
 
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” 
Proverbs 1:7 ESV

He repeats this truth later in the book:

“The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.” 
Proverbs 22:4 ESV

King Solomon had more riches than we can imagine. He was honored among the nations and had a full and prosperous life. We might not be kings, but the truth of this statement is timeless. 

Hundreds of years later, Paul wrote a prayer for the Christians in his letter to the Ephesians that can provide context for Proverbs 22:4.

“…the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, ...
