Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 126. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala challenges us to tell others about Jesus. The Bible calls this “sowing seeds”—like gardeners who plant seeds in the ground, we drop spiritual seeds when we share the message of salvation. Sometimes it’s painful not to see instant fruit in the lives of those we talk to—but the psalmist says that there is a joyful harvest for those who sow with tears! We must pray for others and continue planting those seeds.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 125. Have you heard the phrase “mountain-moving faith”? Since we have God Almighty on our side, we can have faith without fear! The famous missionary David Livingstone was a great example of this strong faith—after surviving a lion attack, he lived fearlessly for God! The Lord said He will protect us, so we can live in that promise.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 124. This passage helps us remember that we cannot get ourselves out of hardships. We face troubles and traps every day, yet we come out on the other side—not by our own ability! God will get us through any situation we face. We can do nothing without Him. Let’s rejoice for everything He’s pulled us out of!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 123. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us of God’s mercy. When we receive forgiveness and blessings that we don’t deserve, that’s mercy! God our Father loves us so much; He mercifully guides us down the right paths. If we let Him be the master of our lives, He will never steer us wrong!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 120. Some people seem to always be in war mode—they want to bully, fight, and argue. But Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matthew 5:9). Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we must be in peace mode at all times, making and sharing peace with anyone we meet.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:169–176. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reads one of his favorite Bible verses. Even though it doesn’t seem to make sense to end a chapter with “I have strayed. . . . Seek your servant,” with these words the psalmist gives us a beautiful picture of God’s goodness. Even the strongest Christians are susceptible to straying—but Jesus always seeks us and carries us through our troubles. May God bring us out of our bad situations and help us to live for Him every day.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:161–168. How much more authentic would our spiritual lives be if we worshiped more than every once in a while? Only praising the Lord on Sundays will lead to a spirit of fakeness, and the world has enough of that already. Let’s be true worshipers of God and thank Him often for all He's given us!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 119:153–160. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us of a hard truth: Christians aren’t exempt from hardships. Jesus endured great pain—and as His followers, we will suffer too. But what a glorious encouragement it is to know that God is with us! Pressure and mental strain can either bring out the best in us or drive us back to worldly ways. May the Holy Spirit help us to fully rely on the Lord.
