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.

  • Beauty All Around

    Beauty All Around

    There is beauty all around. But we usually don’t notice it. . Life gets busy, our minds get distracted, and sometimes we become so focused on our problems that we stop seeing the good around us.

  • Learning to Walk in the Spirit

    We hear the phrase “walk in the Spirit”, but has anyone ever actually taught you how to do that? We know how to pray. We know how to read our Bible. We know how to go to church and worship God. But the Bible tells us there is also a spiritual way of living—learning to recognize God’s…

  • Walk Boldly

    Walk Boldly

    Sometimes we need to hear the same truth over and over again before we can really start believing it for ourselves. Not because we didn’t believe God the first time, but because life has a way of making us doubt or forget. People may hurt us. Plans may fall apart. We may get bad news,…

  • More Precious Than Gold

    More Precious Than Gold

    Have you ever felt small or worthless? Overlooked, rejected, or like you just don’t measure up? The world may fail to see your value, but God never does. ❤️ You are precious to Him—worth more than silver, gold, or rubies. He knew everything about you and chooses you. Our greatest treasure isn’t something God can…

  • To Know Him More

    To Know Him More

    We can spend a lot of time doing things for God without spending time simply being with Him. I have felt a sense of distance lately, even in my duties. I faithfully show us to serve Him every day, but do I faithfully show up to just love Him and spend time getting to know Him better? Today…

  • Don’t Rush the Delivery

    Waiting on God can be a lot like pregnancy. You know something is coming, but you cannot force it to arrive before it is ready. Much of the most important development happens where you cannot see it. Stay faithful, keep preparing, and trust God with the timing. Don’t rush the delivery…just wait upon the Lord.…
