Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Matthew 1:1–2, 5–7, and 16. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala begins looking at the genealogy of Jesus—which includes the son of David and Bathsheba. Isn’t it amazing how God took one of the darkest times in David’s life and used it for His glory? And He does the same with us today! There is no sin too dark that Jesus can’t wash it away. What a blessing!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 136. What do you need? Spiritually or physically, God always provides for our needs. We may think that because we’ve failed Him by disobeying, now He won’t want us anymore. But that’s a lie! The love of God is never ending! The Lord always meets our needs, and He always loves us. Let’s hold onto that promise and praise the Lord for it.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 135. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala urges us to worship the living God. We make idols out of everything—money, pleasure, status, social media. But idols are dead. They can’t see, hear, or speak to us. Why would we want to worship something with no life when we could worship the Creator God who can see, hear, and speak to us? Hallelujah, our Lord is alive!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 134. Praise the Lord! As Christians, we hear and say "Praise the Lord" often, but are we living it? Jesus gave us everything—He’s worthy of all our praises. It makes God our Father happy when we lift our hands and praise His holy name. Lift our hands up today and bless the Lord!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 133. If unity is absent, so is the Spirit of God. That sounds harsh! But the reality is that God loves and honors unity among believers. If we have bitterness or jealousy toward one another, then our spirits are not welcoming to the Holy Spirit. Let’s pray for unity in our homes and churches.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 131. In this devotional, Pastor Cymbala reminds us that it’s okay for us not to understand everything. It takes humility to admit that we don’t grasp some things. But God knows everything about our lives and our futures—we should be content with that! Jesus really is all we need.

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from Psalm 130. We know that God is merciful. We’ve seen Him answer prayers. So why do we have such a hard time waiting to see Him do it again? God is not a concept to be defined. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and always good. It goes against our human nature to wait patiently, but by God’s grace, we can!

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 129. Throughout the Bible we find a two-word phrase that changes everything: “But God.” Think about the trials we have faced in life—how they could’ve gone one way, but God turned them around. Praise the Lord for how He cares for us! He is faithful to answer our prayers.
