5 Minutes with God

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 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.

  • From Useless to Useful: Grace and Identity  Found in Philemon 1

    Like Onesimus—whose name means “useful”—we often fall short of what we were created to be. But grace restores identity and purpose. In Christ, our failure is not the final word. You are not discarded—you are restored, renamed, and sent with purpose.

  • Deadly Jokes: A Warning in Proverbs 26:18-19

    Words have power—used rightly, they heal; used wrongly, they wound. Lying for laughs may seem harmless, but it reveals a heart untouched by truth. God calls us to reflect His character through honesty, not deception. Even “just kidding” can cut deep. Speak life. Speak love. Speak truth—always.

  • Living Wholesomely: Insights from Titus 2

    How we live matters. In a world full of compromise, our daily walk should reflect Christ and make the Gospel attractive. Wisdom, righteousness, and devotion aren’t optional—they’re our testimony. Insights from Titus 2.

  • The Sluggard’s Excuses: Lessons from Solomon

    The lazy person imagines danger to avoid responsibility, claiming, “There’s a lion outside!” (Proverbs 26:13 NLT). But while fear sleeps, purpose starves. Don’t let imagined threats or excuses keep you from your calling. Seek the Lord’s wisdom—and write it down so the enemy can’t twist, steal, or silence it.

  • Eternal Reward: Paul’s Crown of Righteousness

    The crown of righteousness awaits all who long for His return. It’s not earned by perfection, but by enduring in faith, loving His appearing, and finishing the race with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Our reward is not gold—but glory with Him.

  • Hearing God’s Voice: Insights from Scripture

    God still speaks—through His Spirit and His Word. Just as He instructed Jeremiah and taught Paul, He guides us today. When we lean on His truth, not our own understanding, we receive clarity, comfort, and direction that no man’s wisdom can provide.
