The Daily Invitation
Every day we have an opportunity to discover more about God and respond to his invitation to live in love and experience freedom. The Daily Invitation outlines the many ways Scripture calls us to know and follow God. By reflecting on these promises, believers are called to receive God’s give of grace, seek him earnestly, and surrender their lives.

Seek To Dwell
It is one thing to set aside all distractions for a moment of prayer and connection with God. It is another thing to aim our lives toward a place of holy communion. This is the kind of seeking David shows us in Psalm 27.
Open Hearts
Lengthen your timeline for heart growth. Don’t expect every heart renewal to happen overnight. Sometimes, the best work God can do in our hearts is not the miracle of a moment but the renewal of a season.
Renewing Simple Truth
The good news is that the invitation we have from the Lord is to walk in renewal every single day. Sometimes our devotions look like seeking out new revelation. Sometimes it looks like pausing and remembering that the God you serve is the one and only God. You don’t need to explain that to your heart. You just need to come to the edge of the canyon again and remember.
You Are In His Hands
There will be times in your life of great joy and fulfillment, and there will be times of deep need. There will be days when you feel like the Lord is closer than a breath, and there will be days when you can barely believe you will hear his voice again. Yet we trust in him because we put our hope in the God who holds all our times in his hands.
Spirit of Wisdom
Proverbs 2:6 NIV says, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Live For Christ
As you go through your day, remember that everything you do can be filled and sustained by the grace of God. Let your living be for Christ, and fearlessly look to eternity with him.
You Are God’s Temple
Our spiritual reality is no less actual than our physical, mental, or emotional one. I Corinthians 3:16 reminds us that the Spirit of God is not some outer place we must go to and try to grasp. The Spirit dwells within us. Our bodies are not just infrequent hosts of God’s presence. We are temples—distinctively holy dwelling places for the divine.
God Gives The Growth
God uses willing vessels to build his kingdom, but without the power of God and his grace supplied to us, there will be no growth. Only in the vine of Christ can we receive nourishment to flourish the way God desires.
Come To God
Come before him today with your prayers for help. Set your requests before his throne daily. In the family of God, the burdens of the children are the business of the Father.
Refuge & Strength
There is only one who can bear this incredible burden. Christ Jesus not only suffered the grief of knowing the full measure of humanity’s brokenness and wickedness, he bore the penalty for our sins. He both knew and carried every human wrong in his body on the cross.
Breath of God
With all the doors locked and the disciples gathered in a home, Jesus suddenly appeared among them. “Peace!” he said, showing them his wounded hands and side. I can only imagine the feeling of excitement and relief that came over the disciples as they embraced the Lord.
The Rooted Life
Paul comes in Colossians 2 to remind us that the life built on the Lord Jesus is a life of strength, growth, and overflowing thankfulness.
Promised Presence
God made a way to set his Spirit in our hearts forever. Through the forgiveness of our sins and the washing of Christ’s blood over our conscience, we are justified in the eyes of God. We become worthy vessels to carry the Spirit of God within us.
Turn & Obey
How, then, can we become like David? How can we be quick to obey and carefully consider the Lord's ways in everything we do?
Nor…
So how do we respond? We don’t need to feel condemned for having difficulties in knowing and loving God. The whole point of Romans 8 is that we do not live under condemnation, yet we so easily live as if we do. In theory, we can be convinced that this promise is true for us and still be unsure of how this plays out in reality.
Joy In The Unseen God
The story is far from over. Jesus is coming back, the wedding supper of the lamb awaits us, and the New Jerusalem will be our home. Still, until then, we are not called to merely make do with religious practices. God has poured out his Spirit on us so that we can be filled with power. He has offered us his very self so that when he appears, he will be no stranger but a friend, brother, and savior that we know and love.
Receiving Grace
Recognizing this truth allows the burden of self-perfection to fall off. Instead of being worn-out servants, we are treasured sons and daughters who share everything with the Father. We can live as grateful recipients of full grace and freedom.
A Kingdom At Hand
God doesn’t keep us out of his kingdom because of spite or playing favorites. There’s no earning our way into the kingdom. Instead, God freely invites us daily to enter his freedom, rest, and power because of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.
God Is Near
While we may be tempted to judge others as unworthy of God’s grace because of who they are or what they have done, we are just as likely to disqualify ourselves. Much like the Prodigal Son who opted to return to the Father’s house as a servant, we woefully underestimate our value to the Father.
He Has Done Great Things
Call on the name of the Lord and remember his goodness. Ready yourself for the light of Christ to shine on you because when God does great things, we are glad.
