Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:1. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala breaks down the three blessings Paul prayed over Timothy: grace, mercy, and peace. We may think that grace and mercy are the same; rather, they go hand in hand. Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us, and mercy is His compassion on us. When we live in the reality of these blessings, peace then sets in. Praise the Lord for His goodness to us!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:3. The world today is full of people “speaking their truth.” If everyone has their own “truth,” then how are we supposed to know what’s really true? There is only one absolute truth—Jesus Christ. Through the Bible, we find out about the truth so that we can be able to identify false doctrines. Let’s pray for discernment today and lean on what we know is true.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from the book of 1 Timothy. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala introduces Paul’s letter to a very important young pastor. He provides context for the book and reminds us that the church is the body of Christ. It’s not good if a part of your body is in disrepair! We need to get involved in our local churches, like Timothy needed to, and strengthen the body of believers.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 2 Corinthians 7:5–6. The Bible is filled with honest accounts of fragile people like us. In a letter he wrote, the apostle Paul shared how a friend had comforted him. What a difference a little comfort and encouragement can make! May we all seek to be uplifting Christian friends instead of spirit-drainers.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 150. In this devotional, we see the emphasis on praise in the final psalm. We have so many reasons and ways to praise our Lord, and He’s worthy of them all! But if we’re honest, how often do we praise objects and people other than God? All those things can disappear in the blink of an eye, but our worship of God endures forever. Let’s praise the Lord today!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 149. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala emphasizes the danger of pride. Pride is the disease of being a terminal know-it-all. But humility is the opposite—humble people appreciate and value correction. God says that He hates pride but will lift up the humble. With the Holy Spirit’s help, we must humbly lower ourselves so that God can raise us up.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 148. God is so generous—He shares His love, peace, and power with us daily! But there is one thing God will never share with anyone else: His glory. After all, He is the Creator of the universe! So instead of lifting up ourselves or powerful people in the world, let’s glorify the only One truly worthy of being magnified.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 147. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala encourages us to put our trust in the love of God—there is nothing more powerful! His love is unfailing, and it will never disappoint. If we lean against a table and trust it to hold us, there’s a chance it will fail us. But the love of God is immovable. Trust in Him, and see His love in action!

But only one Person can give us true peace. We have to place our hope and trust in the Lord Jesus! The more we listen to Him, the quieter the distractions around us become. Let’s shift our focus to our God today and every day.

The world right now is so full of disgusting hatred and division—people are even celebrating the death of those they disagree with.
