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.

  • When the Hard Thing Is Worth It

    Hard doesn’t necessarily mean wrong. Sometimes the most worthwhile things are also the hardest—choosing forgiveness, having the uncomfortable conversation, letting go, starting over, or continuing when quitting would be easier. If you know God is leading you, don’t measure the worth of the journey by how difficult it feels. Sometimes the thing we most want…

  • Don’t Open the Door to Spiritual Deception

    Not everything presented as entertainment is harmless. We’re in Branson with our granddaughters this weekend, and among all the shows, restaurants, and family attractions is a huge sign advertising palm reading. It would be so easy to think, Wouldn’t that be fun? Let’s see what they say! But calling something “just for fun” doesn’t change…

  • Wield His Name

    Wield His Name

    ou were never meant to face the darkness in your own strength. When we encounter temptation, fear, injustice, corruption, or spiritual darkness, we can call upon Jesus. We aren’t powerful because we’re powerful. We stand because of Who stands with us. There is power in the name of Jesus because there is power in Jesus…

  • Recognize the Lure

    Recognize the Lure

    Sometimes the things that look good aren’t good for us. In fact, that’s often how temptation works—it looks appealing enough to make us reach for it before we recognize the danger attached to it. Seduction isn’t only sexual. It can be anything that attracts, entices, or tempts us away from God. The enemy rarely shows…

  • The Dedication of a Watchman

    After my dog was hit by a car, I was sure I was going to lose her. But later that night, we found our injured girl sitting in the back field—right back at her post, faithfully watching over us and our property. God used my beloved watchdog to teach me something about dedication, prayer, healing,…

  • A Little Time to Rest ❤️

    Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is stop, rest, and enjoy the life God has given us. ❤️ My husband and I are taking a much-needed vacation September 19–27, so 5 Minutes with God will be taking a little “day of rest” too. 😂 Rather than stressing myself out trying to work ahead,…
