The Call to Make Disciples

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 7/11/25

Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (emphasis mine)

Making a disciple is more than leading someone in the sinner’s prayer. It includes teaching and supporting them in their faith. Making a disciple is a tall order and not one that someone can easily accomplish alone. The Church must work together, each one doing his part. We must ask ourselves: Am I doing my part?

The Power of God’s Love: Insights from Lamentations 3:21-24

Cindy Dawson

Verses for Meditation, 7/3/25

Israel had been decimated by Assyrian armies… Judah’s elite (including Daniel and his three Hebrew friends) had been deported to Babylon… The temple was obliterated, the walls of the city flattened. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Yet amid the devastation, the writer of Lamentations says,

“Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:  Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”” Lamentations 3:21-24

Rediscovering Your First Love in Faith

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Monday, 6/23/25

” I want you to trust me in your times of trouble, so I can rescue you and you can give me glory.” Psalm 50:15 TLB

Note: This is one of the first verses I ever underlined in my Bible decades ago. Do you remember reading a promise in the Bible that you had never read before? It was thrilling! Maybe this is what the book of Revelation is referring to as “your first love”: The thrill of getting to know God through His Word.

“But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” Revelation 2:4 NASB

What do you think?

Finding Hope: A Reflection on Psalm 130

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read for Friday, 6/20/25

“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
    and in his word I put my hope.
I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.” Psalm 130:5-6 NIV (emphasis mine)

Commentary: The word hope in our present thinking most often carries the idea of wishful thinking, but in Biblical thought, hope was synonymous with certainty. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Quote of the Week, 6/11/25

Cindy Dawson

“God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn’ uncomplainingly—that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak—is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.” J.I. Packer

When I read this quote, I was moved to post it as an encouragement to those I know and love who are trusting God in their battle with disease or illness. I won’t name them. You know who you are. 💕

In His Love, Cindy
