Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:65–72. When people are wrong, accuse, or hurt us, we can take shelter in God’s love. If we’re the ones acting wrongly, he still loves us. The chastening of God helps us to live godly lives, if we're open to receive the teaching. However we may be feeling today, we can take refuge in the peace and love of God. Let’s thank Him for that!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:57–64. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to praise God more. It is not something for us to only do on Sundays. We should be praising God all day, every day—when we’re taking a shower, going to work, cleaning the house, whenever! The Lord inhabits the praises of His people. We can enjoy His presence and blessing more when we praise Him.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalms 119:49–56. God likes fervent, passionate prayer. If the Lord has given us hope or encouragement, He delights in hearing us ask about it! Although He never forgets or forsakes us, God loves when we remember His words and bring it up in prayer. Let’s be fervent like the psalmist and remind God of His wonderful promises.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:41–48. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala teaches us about spiritual health. Just like we need to take good care of our physical bodies, our souls need to stay healthy! The only way to do that is by taking in the good—reading and meditating on Scriptures—and rejecting the spiritual junk food the world offers, like movies, music, and social media.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:33–40. We need the Lord’s help. Material possessions and worthless things of the world distract us from God every day! We have to pray like the psalmist did—Lord Jesus, turn our hearts toward You. Turn our eyes away from distractions. He will help us if we ask. Let’s look to God today!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:25–32. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala warns us about deceit. Imagine lying while giving a testimony—how deceitful! When we don’t seek the Lord through prayer and Bible study, we very easily give into spiritual weakness and fall into deceitful ways. We must meditate on the wonderful Word of the Lord! He has so much to teach us with all of His love, grace, and mercy.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:17–24. One verse can change a life. Sometimes, a passage of Scripture we’ve read a hundred times before suddenly jumps out at us! The Holy Spirit brings revelation to us during our Bible study—even on verses we know by heart—when we ask Him to open our eyes. What life-changing revelation will He show us today? Let’s seek Him and find out!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:9–16. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala shares with us about teaching from God’s Word. That exactly what Christians are supposed to do—receive teaching from the Holy Spirit and share what we learn with others! Let’s ask God to open our minds and hearts to what He wants to teach us today, then be willing to share that with a friend or stranger.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:1–8. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala discusses steadfastness. For example, husbands and wives don’t commit to being faithful and supportive every other day—no, spouses should pray to be the best they can every day. More importantly, we should all pray to have steadfast—fully committed—hearts toward God every single day of our lives.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 118. How can we find freedom from racism, political division, fear, and anxiety? Only through Christ Jesus, our King! When we have Jesus by our side—and all believers do—we can be free from the evil of this world. The psalmist wrote, “The Lord is with me. . . What can mere mortals do to me?” Hardships come for everyone, but we have encouragement from God and the promise of heaven.
