When God Forgives You …

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Monday, 8/11/25

“The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
 He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;
 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:8-12 NIV

I love these verses. We can’t be reminded of this too much!

The Blessing of Meekness

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 8/10/25

Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Matthew 5:5

The Greek word for meek is praus. It means: gentle, meek, the positive moral quality of dealing with people kindly, with humility and consideration

Meekness … implies a humble acceptance of one’s lowly position before God. One day they will inherit the earth as they reign with Christ.” ( Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Faith Over Fear: Lessons from Peter Walks on Water

Cindy Dawson 
 "Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.  When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:25-33 (emphasis mine)

Peter walked out onto the water because he had faith. But when he saw the wind he was afraid and began to sink. In the storms of life, focus on Jesus, not the storm. It’s a spiritual battle, but you have the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God!

Several years ago, I found myself in the greatest spiritual battle of my life – against fear. You can read about it in my post Choose Faith Over Fear HERE.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:10-17 (emphasis mine)

Understanding Daniel’s Prophecy: Hope in Troubling Times

Cindy Dawson

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

“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:1-3 NIV (emphasis mine) Read full chapter

The wise not only understand God’s salvation but are active in turning many to righteousness even during the most perilous times. God will reward them by making them “shine like the sun” throughout eternity. See Matthew13:43. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

Personal note: I know that sometimes we procrastinate when it comes to studying prophecy, thinking it’s too difficult to understand. However, there is an excellent, easy-to-read book that I highly recommend. It lays out the deep connection between Daniel and Revelation: DISCOVERING DANIEL by Amir Tsarfati (available on Amazon)

God Is My Strength

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for 8/7/25

“I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.
 You guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will take me into glory.
 Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
 My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength of my heart
    and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:23-26 NIV (emphasis mine)

Trusting God’s Goodness When We’re Weary

Cindy Dawson

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

“How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
…. Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
…. But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
 I will sing the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.” From Psalm 13 (vs. 2,3,5,6) (emphasis mine)

Read the entire Psalm HERE

Comments: Saul, in his jealousy, wanted David dead. David wondered why God didn’t do something. He was tired of running for his life. But then he remembered all the times God had rescued him and been good to him. When we reach our breaking point, let us pause and remember all the ways God has been good to us and sing His praise. God is always with us.

Embracing God’s Patience

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Tuesday, 7/29/25

“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 3:8-9 NIV

“The apparent delay in Christ’s return is a gift of mercy, a sign that God is extremely patient. In His great love, He waits, granting people the opportunity to come to repentance and be saved, not wanting anyone to perish.” Jeremiah Study Bible Notes

The Days of Noah: A Reflection on Our Times

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotional for Tuesday, 7/22/25

“As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:37-39, NIV 1984)

My thoughts: What was it like in the days of Noah? Watch TV.
