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.
Meditate On God’s Greatness
One day, we can wake up and realize that we bought into a bigger lie than we thought. Discontentment led to complaining, which stirred up hopelessness. Hopelessness turned to anger and resentment, and soon, a root of bitterness took hold of our hearts. What can we do to break such a cycle?
God Wants You To Seek Him
In our seeking of God in his word, we discover that the promises of God and his invitation to know him echo and multiply through generations to speak to our hearts at this moment. Knowing this, do we have the faith to believe that God’s word is not just a record of what has been said but a container of what is still being said?
Destroy Strongholds
No matter what we do, the promise of freedom through the Spirit never changes. And if we are ready to receive his grace, we are also prepared to receive his power. This power tears down strongholds through the name of Jesus. It is no physical power, and it isn’t a magic trick. It is a heavenly authority reserved for the children of the Kingdom of God.
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.
Look Again To The Hills
Our help comes from above, so look up. See the goodness, mercy, and love of God extended toward you. There is no other source of our help like the care that flows from our heavenly Father.
Gratitude’s Light
Renewing gratitude looks like taking the time to remove the old, burned-out lightbulbs and replace them with new testimonies of grace. It looks like a daily checkup on the state of our inner world and the commitment to constantly renew our faith before God.
Christ’s Will And Grace
The collision of Christ’s tender prayer with his mighty power on the cross marks the perfect intersection of divine grace. Not only does Jesus extend the power of salvation through his blood freely given for our sins, but he demonstrates his will for us to be included in his glory through his prayers.
Seated On High
One of the most dispairing places to be is in an ever-spiraling descent from truth into cloudiness and chaos of the mind. Have you ever been in such a place? The truth that once filled your mind falls through your fingers like sand. The power of the gospel that once captivated your heart wanes with every passing day as the power of oppression rises up ever so gradually.
God Is Not Silent
A verse I often bring up in this devotional is Matthew 11:28 NIV, where Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” It reminds me that our faith in God is not a stagnant chore but an active adventure. We don’t just have the history of the church or the testimony of the word. We also have the living presence of God within us.
Candidate For Grace
Forgiveness is not given because we earned it. It’s not extended because we signed up for it, and our application was received. We don’t get grace because we are a good candidate. The only thing that makes us a candidate for grace is our need for a Savior.
The Love of God
Is full knowledge of God’s love even possible? Maybe in those holy moments in the gathering of believers in the unity of the Spirit, we can grasp (as Paul said) something like an understanding of God’s love. It seems to me that the moment we grasp this love, we realize once again that his love surpasses knowledge. God’s love overloads my capacity to understand.
Make Room For The Holy Spirit
Can you believe that the path to abiding is just turning, following, and calling on the name of the Lord? I’m not trying to sound reductive in light of the glorious depths of what it means to know God. Yet I have so often found my inability to walk in the spirit just because I haven’t stopped long enough to call out to God in humility.
Don’t Forget
God’s activity in our lives to save and redeem us is the only way we really have the freedom to worship him in the first place! His redemptive, saving, and healing work in our lives brings us to a place of wholeness where we can begin giving back praise.
Things Above
Looking upward in prayer is a powerful posture. We find ourselves looking away from the earthy and temporal into the heavenly and eternal. Looking up reminds us that our hope comes from God and not from our strength or wisdom. We are held in his hand, safe under his careful watch, and empowered by his comforting Spirit.
The Power of Agreement
Prayer becomes exponentially more powerful when we gather together and pray in agreement. Intercession can be a personal mission, but clearly, God designed the ministry of prayer to happen in communion.
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.
