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.

  • Right Here. Right Now.

    Today is my wedding anniversary. ❤️ It made me think… how much joy would I miss if I spent today worrying about tomorrow instead of enjoying the gift God has given me right now? That’s exactly what the Lord reminded me this morning: “Don’t worry about tomorrow. Just focus on today. Right now with Me.…

  • Are You Ready to See Jesus?

    Can you imagine the moment you finally see Jesus face-to-face? ❤️ The One you’ve prayed to, worshiped, trusted, and followed—no longer known only by faith, but standing before you in His glory. Until that day, may we keep our hearts ready and our eyes fixed on Him. Not out of fear, but anticipation. Behold the…

  • Why Am I So Judgmental?

    Nobody likes to admit they’re being judgmental, but I think most of us do it every day. We have to exercise judgment to some degree, but have you ever caught yourself going beyond discernment and judging someone before you even realized you were doing it? That’s exactly what today’s Gem of Knowledge addresses: “Stop being…

  • See What You Are Missing

    What are you missing because you’re moving too fast? Sometimes we need to stop before we speak, react, decide, or move. God has been reminding me: Look. Watch. Listen. Pray. Discern. Observe. Wait. Patience gives us time to see what we missed, understand what we misunderstood, and hear what God is saying. Not everything needs…

  • Happy Who You Are

    Happy Who You Are

    Last night, I found myself wondering if maybe I needed to be different. Funnier. Wittier. More entertaining. Maybe then I would see more growth. Then this morning I opened my journal and read what I had previously written for today: “Because I love you, I will show you the way. Don’t wish you were different.…

  • Look Before You Leap

    Look Before You Leap

    Over the weekend, my two-year-old granddaughter saw the pool, got excited, and jumped right in—no floaties, no hesitation. She was immediately in trouble, and I had to grab her. And I thought… how often do we do the same thing in life? Sometimes wisdom looks a lot like restraint. That’s why today’s Gem of Knowledge…
