Psalm 16:9-10 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Safe with Him

When life feels overwhelming or the world seems extra dark, there's an ultimate security that comes from trusting God.

King David, the author of Psalm 16, faced all kinds of physical, emotional, and spiritual stressors throughout his life. And yet, he had an overwhelming sense of peace and joy—knowing that His soul was safe in God's hands.

He wrote...

"No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave."
Psalm 16:9-10 NLT

Scripture tells us that—because of sin—our temporary bodies can bleed, our bones can break, and these physical shells can (and will) eventually wear out. But praise God, even death and the grave will not get the final say! Because Jesus has already paid the ultimate price (giving His own life) to redeem us, and because He refused to stay dead, He has cleared the way for us to have eternal life.

In the following verse and final declaration of Psalm 16, David went on to say...

"You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever."
Psalm 16:11 NLT

Jesus was and is the long-awaited Messiah, the Perfect One, God in the flesh—who lived the life we couldn't, died the death we should've, and even did the impossible by conquering the grave. When we accept the grace and love that He offers, not only will He never abandon us, but we'll also be empowered by His Spirit and given access to forever with Him!

So if you're looking for ultimate security, know that you can't be good enough, successful enough, or amazing enough to earn it for yourself. God alone is the keeper of your soul, and you can be confident in Him.

Romans 12:12 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

How to Build Strong Character

Paul, the author of the letter to the Romans, frequently encouraged the believers in Rome amidst the persecution and adversity they were experiencing. The first half of Paul’s letter corrects some of their thinking, while the second half is focused on their character and actions.

In Romans 12, Paul is encouraging the believers to let love be the primary motivation for everything they do. When love is the foundation of who they are, then God can renew and transform every area of life. When they allow God to transform their character, that's when they're able to be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.

Christians have a unique hope—we know that Jesus is victorious over evil and will one day return to make everything right. This means that we can have hope in the midst of suffering or difficult times.

Paul knew that affliction produces steadfast character within us. When we choose to endure through suffering, Jesus forms strength and ...
