Daily Devotional: June 2, 2026

Philippians 1:6 God – who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

The Good News: God is at work. God who seeks us out has blessed us to be a blessing. God will use us to bring help and hope to others. God is always with us so that we might cross the finish line of faith in victory.

Prayer: Thank you, O Lord, for the joy of June! A month of strawberries and high school graduations; a month of beaches and barbecues; a time for moving forward in faith and faithfulness. Help us navigate how we should act as a society – honestly, humbly, kind-heartedly . As we continue to engage in good works – your good works, O God – help and guide us to be gentle in heart, humble in mind, compassionate in spirit. May we not take for granted the joy of gathering, worshiping, shopping, and traveling. Keep us aware – and keep us grateful – and keep us safe. Guide and bless our teachers and students in these last few weeks of the school year. For we ask all these – and more – in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Daily Devotional: June 1, 2026

Acts 2:38 “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

The Good News: Who doesn’t love receiving a gift? It’s not a reward, not a return-on-investment. It’s not earned. It doesn’t come with strings attached. The gift of the Holy Spirit is a gift of love from God to you. Accept it and be strengthened for life here and blessed with life eternally.

Prayer: Spirit of the living God – thank you for this day. It may just be a “Monday” on the calendar, but “wow” – it is so much more. Help us to savor the blessings you bring. The capability and care of our church staff. The beauty of nature. The weather – hot one day, cool the next; sunny one day, rain the next. So much is delightfully variable. And yet so much is delightfully constant – the twinkling stars, the rotation of the seasons, the wave-after-wave sea-surf. And we praise you for the unchangeable grace of your presence. Thank you for the forgiveness of our sins though Jesus Christ – and how you help, heal and grant us hope. Grant us perseverance and strength to not return to selfish ways and sinful behavior. We pause to recognize and remember that you are always with us – in times good and challenging, for there will come a time when the Spirit’s comfort will be complete and the consolation will conclude – because all will be made right and perfect, and there will be no more tears, tumors or terrorism. No more pain, problems nor parochialism. Come Holy Spirit! Grant us your peace. Amen.

Daily Devotional: May 30, 2026

Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for God is good: God’s love endures forever."

The Good News: In a world where so much is disposable, undependable, or fleeting, we are given the most amazing gift – love that lasts, love that is reliable, love that endures. God’s love!

Prayer: Thank you, creator God, for the beauty of the earth. For flowers that bloom, gardens that are planted, the rain the refreshes and the sun that sustains. Thank you for scoops of ice cream and walks on the boardwalk as we are mesmerized by the constancy of the ocean waves. Thank you for parks and golf courses and baseball diamonds and places of fun, exercise and renewal. Thank you for universities, colleges and seminaries -- and their faculty and administrators – and most especially the students; we congratulate those who have graduated; may they find employment! Thank you for homes of safety and communities of friendship. Thank you for our church! May we be effective in proclaiming, in word and deed, that all people are valued and that the offer of salvation is meant for everyone. Through Jesus, death has been defeated! Eternal life is assured! Love wins! Alleluia. Amen.

Nehemiah 9:6: “You alone are the Lord. You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them and the heavenly host bows down before You.”

The Good News: God has created stars beyond what we can observe with telescopes and cells that are unfathomable without a microscope. Just because we can’t see them, doesn’t negate their existence. God’s ways are so much larger than what we can even consider. The scope of God’s care is broader than what we can comprehend.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, sometimes we get stuck believing that what you have in store for us is only what we feel, or know, or believe. Yet, through Jesus, you’ve given us a life beyond this life and speak in the language of infinity and eternity. Let us pause in awe and wonder. Quarks and Quasars. Signs and seasons. Love and loss: our losses are real – but they are not forever; so thank you Lord for what is forever – love lasts. Relationships endure. So comfort us in times of grief, steady us in times of change, inspire us in times of anguish, come close in times of loneliness, bless us in times of need. Extend to us all your mercy which is higher than the heavens and heal us in mind, body and spirit. Abide with us, precious Savior. Amen.

Daily Devotional: May 28, 2026

1 Peter 4:8 "And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins."

The Good News: Well – first the not-so-good news – there is a multitude of sins. We have missed the mark and fallen short of God’s ways in any number of ways. There are things we didn’t do which we ought to have done. There are things we did which we ought not to have done. Yet – the good news! -- God, in love, has sent Jesus to forgive us. Following that example, our love for others involves forgiveness too. Love wins!

Prayer: Gracious God – we are so grateful for your amazing grace. That you love us, despite our shortcomings. We know all too well both the public mis-steps as well as the secret sins that lurk deep within and seek to keep us from your path. So yes, we pray for forgiveness. We repent – we turn from the darkness and towards your light. Help us to do better today than we did yesterday. So it is that we pray for strength – to be kinder, more generous, more patient, more loving. We pray for those who are caught in a cycle of brokenness – may the addicted be granted sobriety that sticks, may abusers confront their actions and turn from inflicting harm, may the selfish be brought low – not that we might gloat, but that they might turn from self-gain to service. Help us all to turn to you, O God. Thank you for second (and third and fourth) chances. Help us to forgive others as you have forgiven us. Through Jesus Christ, O Lord and Savior, Amen.

Daily Devotional: May 27 2026

Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart trusts him. I was helped, my heart rejoiced, and I thank him with my song.”

The Good News: Look back on your life. Trace the handprints of God, taking note of how we have been helped – sometimes directly and obviously, sometimes through other people and in ways we didn’t perceive until much later. Give thanks for the presence of God, who never fails nor forsakes us.

Prayer: Dearest Savior, as we think about our lives, we can’t help but pause in gratitude for those who have touched our lives in positive ways. Some – perhaps parents or grandparents or a friend or spouse – have influenced us for decades. Others – maybe a church school teacher, a coach, a mentoring boss, a therapist – directed our paths in a shorter, but no less profound ways. And then there are those who came into our lives for but a moment, but changed our lives significantly. For those encounters that you orchestrated – the person with just the right word at just the right time – thank you. So we pray for those who interacted briefly, but profoundly; for teachers; for nurses and doctors; for funeral directors; for strangers who paused to help. Help us be attuned to opportunities to extend compassion to the lonely, directions to the lost, encouragement to those too accustomed to being picked last. What a privilege to live and love like Jesus! Amen.

Daily Devotional: May 26, 2026

1 Peter 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

The Good News: We have anxieties. Yet we don’t have to cling to them. Instead of tossing and turning or losing sleep – take all anxiousness and give them over to God. God invites you to do! Remember that God cares for you – completely and unconditionally.

Prayer: O God, renovate our souls and restructure our ways so that our ways may, more and more, align with your ways. Help us to be full of grace and agents of love. Help us to practice kindness, and thus to be more human-kind. We pray for the citizens of all the world; may all come to acknowledge your Presence. Thus, we pray for missionaries: especially Amy, Yohannes and Linn. We pray for mission organizations and agencies that assist people in need such as Open Door and the Reformed Church Home. And we pray for missionaries closer to home, namely all those who are checking on neighbors, delivering meals, shopping for others, giving financially to care-agencies, writing letters and making phone calls, praying for the vulnerable. The needs are great, O God. And you are greater! As we put our faith into action, thank you – for the gift of your Son, Jesus and his grace and example – for the gift of the Holy Spirit, who encourages and empowers us. Thanks be to You for being the ultimate support network! Amen.

Daily Devotional: May 25, 2026

John 15:13-18: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

The Good News: Jesus died sacrificially. Jesus lives victoriously! As those then who have been saved by grace alone, those who have been called the friends of Christ, those who are appointed to bear fruit – let us love one another!

Prayer: The Battle Hymn of the Republic has a stanza that proclaims, “In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea with a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me. As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free while God is marching on!” So, O God, march on to bring peace to our world. We remember those who have made ultimate sacrifices on the battlefield and in service to our country. We lift up their families asking for your comfort. For the women and men of our military, be their guide, strength and stay; protect them as they protect us. May there be a lessening of conflict and war, and, O God, in ways that are only available to you -- unifyall peoples in the way of mutuality, harmony and peace. It is a big ask – but you are an even bigger God – so, please: Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of these times. Heal our world. In the saving name of Jesus, Amen.
