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?

    Praying for the hurting is one thing… Praying for those who have hurt us is something else entirely. Yet that’s exactly what Jesus calls us to do. today’s Gem: “Pray for your enemies. They may turn from their evil ways, and so may you.” Praying for our enemies may be one of the hardest things…

  • Who Will Pray for Them?

    One thing I’ve learned over the years is that when the Lord continues repeating the same message, I need to stop and pay close attention. For the past seven devotionals, every Gem He has given me has pointed back to the same theme: caring for those who are hurting. Seven days. One message. I don’t…
