The Promise of His Return

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/16/25

3 “Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” …

8 “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:3,4,8,9

“Thousands of years have passed since Jesus ascended into heaven, promising to return for His faithful ones (John 14:1–4; Revelation 22:12). Scoffers point out the lapse of time and mock those who still wait and yearn for His appearing.” (Got Questions.org)

“There is God’s timetable and there is ours. From a human perspective, the word “near” passed its outer limits about 1,800 years ago. According to God’s calendar, it’s like we’re only a couple of days into the wait.” Amir Tsarfati, from his book Revealing Revelation

Everything Can Change in an Instant

Cindy Dawson

Verses for meditation for 9/11/25

September 11, 2001 shattered the stability and comfort of American’s lives, leading to a surge in church attendance and Bible sales immediately after the attacks. (Barna)

On that day, many held tightly to our motto: IN GOD WE TRUST

“In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” Isaiah 25:9

“I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:2 Read full chapter

Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

In this war-torn world, it is crucial that we put out trust in God through faith in His Son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. May this day remind us that everything can change in an instant. Don’t wait to put your trust in Jesus! Do it now!

In His Love, Cindy

Quote of the Week for 9/10/25

Cindy Dawson

“People believe easily when it doesn’t cost them any discomfort. It’s when it hurts that believing means something.”From the historical fiction book, Storm Clouds Rolling In, by Ginny Dye

In this book, the main character, Carrie, is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner in 1860 Virginia. When exposed to the cruelty of slavery, she is faced with the cost of standing against it. It will mean turning against those she loves and her very way of life. This quote also holds meaning for believers. Will you continue to believe God’s Word even when it goes against the tide? Will you stand for Truth even when it’s unpopular?

Do You Need Wisdom Today?

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/9/25

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.  Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” James 1:5-8 Read full chapter

Commentary: Those with wisdom know what to do in the midst of confusing circumstances – a clarity that only God can give. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

5 Ways to Safeguard Your Child’s Faith

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Monday, 9/1/25

Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6)

My Thoughts: Worldly influences prey upon our children every day. They may come through TV, social media, schools, music, or books. How can we protect these little ones? Here’s a start:

  1. Pray for them.
  2. Teach them God’s Word.
  3. Take them to church.
  4. Protect them from propaganda as much as you are able.
  5. Have conversations with your child when controversial subjects come up, letting them know they can talk to you, unafraid. Listen to them carefully. Respond with love and gentleness.

Stay Vigilant: The Devil’s Prowl and Our Faith

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 8/24/25

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.” 1 Peter 5:8-11 ESV

How to Season Your Conversations with Salt

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 8/22/25

“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:5-6 NIV Read full chapter

My thoughts: Salt makes food taste better, and when seasoned properly, you might even ask for more. But if you went to a restaurant that didn’t season its food with salt, would you ask for more? You probably wouldn’t go back!

To be seasoned with salt means to use wisdom, to be gracious (pleasant and kind), and to be prepared to answer questions about Jesus and the Gospel.

In His Love, Cindy
