5 Minutes with God

If you’ve got five minutes, the Lord has something to say. Each devotional is an invitation — a spark from His Word to stir your heart. But the true treasure is in the Action: five minutes you set aside to be with Him. It’s there, in His presence, that the Holy Spirit fills your lamp with oil, transforms your heart, and aligns your life with His. This is your daily time with the King — not just learning about Him, but knowing Him, walking with Him, and being made ready for the Bridegroom’s return.

Short. Simple. Powerful. And really — it’s only five minutes. Who doesn’t have five minutes for the King?

These short, Scripture-anchored devotionals coincide with the Tyndale One Year Bible. Each day is a devotional created from that specific day’s verses and they include at least one passage of scripture, one clear insight, one simple action, and a short prayer—so you can walk with Jesus each day, not just think about Him.

    It’s Always Worth It

    What if doing the right thing costs you everything? ❤️ Jeremiah was threatened with death for speaking God’s truth. Uriah actually lost his life for doing the same thing. And the apostles faced persecution, imprisonment, and tremendous hardship for following Jesus. And sometimes we think we’ve got it hard! LOL! Doing what’s right doesn’t guarantee…

  • Be Vigilant in Your Faith

    What if God decided to take the day off? 😳 Have you ever had one of those days when you just wanted to curl up with a book and do absolutely nothing? I certainly have! LOL! But then I think about God. What if He became lazy or complacent? What if He simply stopped paying…

    **Did you know Jesus is praying for you?** ❤️🙏 We know His beautiful promise: *“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”* —Hebrews 13:5 NKJV But the Holy Spirit gave me a Gem that made me stop and think: *“I will never leave you. I pray you will never leave Me. Amen.”* Wait…the Lord prays?…

  • Closeness Is a Choice

    Closeness Is a Choice

    What if growing closer to God is simpler than you think? ❤️ Sometimes we make our relationship with God more complicated than He ever intended.
