Finding Strength During Struggles

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Thursday, 11/6/25

“The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.” Habakkuk 3:19

The following excerpt is from Pastor Pete’s post, Progress in High Places. It will give you insight into today’s verse and encourage you, too. I hope you will read it.

“The armies of the Babylonian empire were now destroying his nation, burning the temple and putting an end to the kingdom that God had once given to King David. Things couldn’t have looked worse. Habakkuk saw that no matter how hard he tried or how persuasively he preached, that his version of success was not to be, and yet God gave him hope. In his darkest moments, Habakkuk discovered that God was still his strength…”

Choose Whom You Will Serve

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Monday, 11/3/25

“…choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

These stirring words are from Joshua’s last sermon to the people before he died at age 110. May this be the cry of our hearts as well.

“as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

The Joy of Cheerful Giving

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Sunday, 11/2/25

“You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” 2 Corinthians 9:7-8 NLT

When we give, we participate in the ministry we are supporting. May God guide us and give us discernment in giving.

The Danger of Misguided Teaching

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Thursday, 10/30/25

“These are the things you are to teach and insist on.  If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,  they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions  and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.  But godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.  But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.  Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:2-10 (Emphasis mine)

In His Love, Cindy

Reflecting on God’s Creation

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for 10/26/25

“When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3-4

Facts you may not know:  

  1. Every star you see in the night sky is bigger and brighter than our sun! (according to NASA)
  2. Astronomers estimate that the universe could contain up to one septillion stars – that’s a one followed by 24 zeros.

How great is our God!

In His Love, Cindy

God Sees Our Heart

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Thursday, 10/23/25

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 NIV (emphasis mine)

I love the story of David being anointed king over Israel. When Jesse brought out his sons before Samuel, the Lord rejected them all, one by one. A little confused perhaps, Samuel asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”

Jesse replied, “There is still the youngest, but he is tending the sheep.” They brought him in from the fields and the Lord said, “He is the one.”

“ So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” (v. 13) Read full chapter

Finding Hope: A Personal Testimony

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 10/21/25

“I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he turned to me and heard my cry.
 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
    out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
    and gave me a firm place to stand.” Psalm 40:1-2 NIV

I remember the first time I read these verses and the awe I felt knowing this was my testimony. In one of my oldest Bibles, it was dated 1984, 1986, and 1988. God’s Word is alive and active. (Hebrews 4:12)

“Even though I walk

His Divine Workmanship

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Sunday, 10/12/25

“For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense.” Romans 1:20 AMP
