Learning From Mistakes

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/11

Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. — Proverbs 24:16 I’ve come to appreciate the value of learning from mistakes and of reframing failures as opportunities for growth. The insights shared by mentors, friends, and even strangers have profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience and perseverance. When I was younger, I viewed failure as a reflection of my inadequacy. But a mentor once told me, “Failure is not the opposite of

2025/03/10

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.— Proverbs 13:20 I’m thankful to have realized the value of choosing good friends and company. Past experiences and wisdom from mentors have shown me that the people we spend time with can shape our character and outcome in significant ways. In my younger days I often gravitated toward friends who had interests like mine—but not always the same values. In contrast, I remember a colleague who constantly encouraged me to

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen. — 2 Peter 3:18 As I grow and mature in Christ, I’ve learned the importance of giving myself grace. This lesson is often echoed by the wisdom of mentors and friends who remind me that growth is a process, not an immediate transformation. One day a close friend gently pointed out that I was too hard on myself for not meeting certain milestones. She shared her own experiences of growth,

Trusting God’s Timing

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/08

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. . . . — Ecclesiastes 3:1 Trusting God’s timing is a lesson I have learned through seasons of waiting and uncertainty. In those situations Ecclesiastes 3:1 has helped me remember that God is in control of the events in our lives and that his timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with our expectations. Trusting in God’s timing can often mean giving up our own desire for immediate results. Acknowledging God’s

Giving Our Best in All We Do

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/07

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. — Colossians 3:23 As I think about what it means to give our best, I am reminded of a dear friend, a pastor who poured his heart into every sermon—not for applause or recognition but to honor God. His dedication inspired me to approach my work and service in a similar way. In the workplace I witnessed a colleague who consistently went above and beyond—not for promotions or praise but out of genuine

Expectations and Assumptions

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/06

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. — Proverbs 4:7 I’m thankful to have learned the valuable lesson of clarifying expectations with others and reducing assumptions that often lead to misunderstandings. It’s a process rooted in wisdom and insight. Proverbs 4:7 reminds us that wisdom begins with gaining understanding and insight. This includes actively seeking clarity in our interactions and communications with others. Rather than assuming

Embracing Patience

2025/03/05

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. — Romans 12:12 In my younger days, impatience often clouded my vision. I yearned for instant results, quick solutions, and immediate gratification. It wasn’t until I embraced the wisdom of patience that I truly understood its importance. Patience involves more than waiting; it’s a virtue cultivated through endurance, trust, and faith. It teaches us to remain steadfast in times of trial and uncertainty, knowing that God’s timing is

Practicing Humility

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/04

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. — Philippians 2:3-4 When I was younger, I often felt the need to prove myself. Whether it was in school, sports, or social situations, I was always striving to be the best, to outshine others, and to seek recognition. One day a mentor gently pointed out that my constant need for validation was rooted in pride and

Comparing Myself With Others

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/03

When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. — 2 Corinthians 10:12 In my younger years, I often found myself caught in the trap of comparison. In one situation, for example, I wanted a promotion at work. I watched colleagues advance, seemingly effortlessly, while I struggled with feelings of inadequacy. The more I compared my progress to theirs, the more disheartened I became. I remember spending sleepless nights worrying about how I

Learning From the Examples of Others

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/03/02

The way of fools seems right to them, but the wise listen to advice.— Proverbs 12:15 I had a friend who was a very handy repairman. One day I discovered a leak in my plumbing and didn’t know how to fix it. I went to him for advice, and he showed me how to fix the problem. His help saved me hundreds of dollars, avoiding water damage throughout my house. Over the years, I have realized the importance of learning from others’ experiences. Observing others’ successes and mistakes can provide valuable

Learning to Love Myself

2025/03/01

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. — Psalm 139:14 In my youth I struggled with self-worth and often felt inadequate. I vividly recall a time in high school when I was surrounded by peers who seemed more talented, attractive, and confident than I was. The constant comparison made me feel flawed. One day, a caring teacher noticed my struggle and shared Psalm 139:14 with me. She reminded me that God’s creations are

“There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” . . . “I am making everything new!” — Revelation 21:4-5 Jesus has removed the barrier to reconciliation with God, so we can enjoy fellowship with God and abundant life in his kingdom even now. And yet there’s much more to come! When a believer in Christ dies, we grieve their loss. But we know they are in the Lord’s presence in a greater way than we experience now. So while death brings

“This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” — Matthew 24:14 Sometimes I get discouraged when I hear about so much evil in our world—there’s so much injustice, godlessness, suffering, immorality, corruption, and more. When doubts start to rise in my mind, I want to cry out, “Lord, where are you? It doesn’t seem like you’re doing much about it, and it’s getting worse by the day.” But then I recall what Jesus told his

How to Pray for Missionaries

Today Daily Devotional ·

2025/02/26

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. — Ephesians 6:19 In today’s passage we see that Paul—one of the great missionaries of the early church—needed prayer partners, and he probably had many. Today’s text gives us a helpful start on how to pray for missionaries and other gospel workers. We can pray that God will give them the right words (relevant and effective messages); that they will make known the true

Pray for Harvest Workers

[Jesus] said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” — Matthew 9:37-38 We were living in Beijing to learn Mandarin, the official language of China. We weren’t planning to do anything else, but the English fellowship in the church we were attending asked us to start a new small group Bible study. It grew rapidly, and soon people were coming to faith in Christ. They needed to be

Beautiful Feet

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” — Isaiah 52:7 One day in 1987 the rain poured down as we made our way to a church workers meeting in a little chapel on Panay Island in the Philippines. The chapel was separated from the nearest road by a kilometer of rice fields. We took off our shoes and socks, rolled up our pantlegs, and walked across the fields on

“Take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the people of Israel.” — Ezekiel 4:3 God told the prophet Ezekiel to act out various scenes as signs of punishment that the people would face because of their unfaithfulness. Each scene gave a nonverbal demonstration that the people could understand as it was acted out. And the dramatic effect was often powerful. One highlight

Is the Church Itself a Barrier?

2025/02/22

“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” — Luke 11:52 Jesus spoke pointedly and critically against the leaders of God’s people in that day. Instead of helping people draw near to God and enjoy his blessings, those leaders put up barriers through their legalistic, self-serving practices. Sadly, throughout history, some churches and church leaders have blocked access to spiritual

“You will be my witnesses . . . to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 After removing the barrier between us and God, Jesus commissioned his followers to bring this good news everywhere. The book of Acts tells about the early years of this mission. By the power of God’s Spirit, Jesus’ followers overcame barriers and discovered bridges to bring the good news and make disciples far and wide. And they, in turn, spread the message to make more disciples. You would think that by now the mission would be

When Our Stuff Becomes a Barrier

2025/02/20

“Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals. . . .” — Matthew 10:9-10 Did Jesus really mean this—to bring nothing extra when we travel for mission work? Do those instructions still apply to us today? When I travel for mission work, I usually pack to the limit (sometimes more). Roger Greenway, a missionary to Sri Lanka many years ago, recounted how his family had tried to ship their belongings from the United States in 18
