The One Thing That Can Make You Miss God's Blessings β€” John 21:21 β€” July 9, 2026

Could focusing on one missing thing be keeping you from seeing everything God has already given you? In today's 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on John 21:21 and discover how comparison and fixation on what we lack can blind us to the many blessings God has already placed in our lives. πŸ•ŠοΈ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals β€’ The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: https://amzn.to/3Ln4yB7 β€’ The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: https://amzn.to/4oULiJn 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/frg πŸ’Œ Get these daily devotionals in your inbox each week! https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe Peter had just received an extraordinary calling from Jesus, yet his attention shifted to someone else's future.

What if the most important part of your day isn't the part you spend the most time doing? In today's 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we look at Acts 18:1-4 and discover how Paul's ordinary work as a tentmaker teaches us something extraordinary about our own lives. πŸ•ŠοΈ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals β€’ The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: https://amzn.to/3Ln4yB7 β€’ The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: https://amzn.to/4oULiJn 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/frg πŸ’Œ Get these daily devotionals in your inbox each week! https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe Paul spent much of his week making tents, yet his greatest purpose wasn't found in the tentsβ€”it was found in faithfully sharing Christ wherever God placed him.

Why Their Blessing Isn't Your Delay β€” Luke 15:29-30 β€” July 7, 2026

What if someone else's blessing isn't evidence that God has forgotten youβ€”but an invitation to trust Him more deeply? In today's 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on Luke 15:29-30 and the older brother's response to the prodigal son's celebration. His story reminds us of a struggle many of us quietly face: comparing our journey to someone else's while we're still waiting. πŸ•ŠοΈ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals β€’ The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: https://amzn.to/3Ln4yB7 β€’ The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: https://amzn.to/4oULiJn 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/frg πŸ’Œ Get these daily devotionals in your inbox each week! https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe This devotional explores how comparison can distort our perspective, why God's blessings aren't limited, and how trusting His perfect timing frees us from jealousy and discouragement.

Why Joy Doesn't Have to Wait β€” 2 Corinthians 6:10 β€” July 6, 2026

What if joy isn't something you have to postpone until life gets better? In today's 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we explore 2 Corinthians 6:10 and discover why God doesn't ask us to wait for perfect circumstances before experiencing His joy. πŸ•ŠοΈ Grow Closer to God with Our Journals β€’ The Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal: https://amzn.to/3Ln4yB7 β€’ The Daily Devotional Prayer Journal: https://amzn.to/4oULiJn 🎁 Download a Free Bible Study Resource https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/frg πŸ’Œ Get these daily devotionals in your inbox each week! https://mailchi.mp/dailydevotionalministries/subscribe Paul describes believers as "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing."
