Daily Devotions for Busy Lives

You're afraid of saying it wrong, so you say nothing. Learn what verses 6 and 8 do to 2 Timothy 1:7, and the Greek word Paul uses only once.

Most Christians have a moment they can point to. The conversation at work where you had something to say and let it pass. The encouragement you composed in your head and never delivered. And here's the fear that usually wins. You're afraid of botching it, of picking the wrong words and making the moment worse than the silence was. That comes from caring, by the way. You care enough to run the odds, and the odds come back bad every time.

This episode opens with Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist at Cornell who studies the moment we decide whether to speak. Her numbers keep coming back the same. We overestimate how badly it will go, and we underestimate the good that comes from saying it.

Paul wrote to a young man with that exact problem. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." Start with where the verse falls, because almost no verse in the New Testament gets quoted by itself more often than this one. Verse 6, right before it, tells Timothy to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave him. Verse 8, right after it, says never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. So verse 7 lands in the middle of an argument about opening your mouth.

Then look at where Paul is when he writes it. He's in prison, and verse 15 of that same chapter says everyone in the province of Asia had deserted him. Paul knows what speaking costs. He was paying for it while he wrote the sentence.

Now take the last of the three gifts Paul lists. The Greek word is sophronismos, and it appears nowhere else in the New Testament. It means a mind that's governed, which is why the older translations render it as a sound mind.

Look at what that list is for. Power is the nerve to open your mouth, and love is what keeps the words pointed at the person. Then the third gift goes straight at the thing you're afraid of. A governed mind is what gets the wording right. So the exact fear you've got is the one God equipped you against. He gave the prompt, and in the same breath He gave the sound mind that handles how it comes out.

Bart shares his own version of it, a hospital visit he sensed he should make and put off until morning, along with what he had to settle with God afterward.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

What verses 6 and 8 do to the way you've heard 2 Timothy 1:7 quoted The Greek word Paul uses once in the whole New Testament, and what it governs What the research says about the difference between saying it in person and typing it

Here's the practical step. Think of the prompt you've been ignoring, one name and one thing you've been meaning to say. Then go say it in person this week. Say it kindly and then stop talking, because the reaction belongs to them and to God. Bohns found that people badly overrate how well a message lands in writing, and that asking face to face beats email by more than anybody predicts. And one more thing. Don't wait until morning.

The post that gets ignored stings worse than it should. Learn what verse 42 says about the men in John 12, and the test that has little to do with your posting habits.

You post something and check your phone a few seconds later to see who liked it. The post that gets attention gives you a lift. The one that gets ignored stings worse than a few missing taps ought to sting. And you can't quite argue yourself out of it, because the behavior looks harmless. Posting a picture of your grandkids is a fine thing to do. What gets trained in you by the refreshing is the part to watch.

This episode opens with Sean Parker, Facebook's founding president, who later explained in public how the pull was designed. The goal was to consume as much of your time and attention as possible, with a small dopamine hit every time someone liked or commented. He called it a social-validation feedback loop.

John 12:43 describes men who had this appetite long before anybody had a phone: "For they loved human praise more than the praise of God." Start with the verse above it, because verse 42 is the one that stops you. Many people did believe in Him, John says, including some of the Jewish leaders. And they wouldn't admit it, for fear the Pharisees would expel them from the synagogue. So these are believers. They were convinced about Jesus, and they kept it to themselves.

Then look at what expulsion meant. Getting put out of the synagogue in that world cost a man his standing and his livelihood at the same time. Their silence came from something other than vanity. They were protecting a life they had built.

Now look at the two words John picks in verse 43. Human praise, and the praise of God. In the Greek it's the same word both times, doxa. Glory. So the choice in front of those men came down to whose glory they would take, and John says they took the one they could see.

Notice who these men were. Leaders. The people in that crowd with the most reputation to lose were the ones who said nothing. Then read one verse further and watch what the arrangement does. Verse 44 says Jesus shouted to the crowds, raising His voice in public at the same moment those men were deciding to keep theirs down.

Bart shares his own version of it. He checks the download numbers on this podcast, and he wants more people encouraged by these devotions. He can't always tell which of the two has the wheel.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

What verse 42 says about the men in John 12, and why it changes the verse you know The one Greek word John uses for both kinds of glory The test that has more to do with what you'll say out loud than with your posting habits

Here's the practical step. Post less this week, and pick a number before you start so you have something to hold to. Then pay attention to what comes up in you when the attention isn't coming, and tell God about it in your own words. And sometime this week, say something about Christ out loud in a room where it costs you a little. That's the muscle those leaders in John 12 never used.

You let something go and now you wonder if you quit too soon. Learn what Nehemiah did for three days and one night before he said a word about rebuilding.

A lot of us have something we started with everything we had and then let go of. A book you were writing, or a ministry you were sure God had put in front of you. Walking away felt right at the time, and it may well have been right. Now you look at that thing and wonder whether you quit too soon. What keeps most people from going back is the cost of the restart itself. It means admitting the first run never got finished, and it means telling people who watched you walk away that you're trying again.

This episode opens with Stephen Bedard, who pastored the same area churches for nine years and then stepped away with no church lined up. The break stretched into three years. He got sick, and his family went through a rough patch. The pulpit started to feel like a part of his life that was over.

Nehemiah 2:17 puts you in front of a ruin: "But now I said to them, 'You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!'" Start with what those ruins were. That wall had already been quit on. Ezra chapter 4 records an earlier rebuilding effort shut down by royal order, so the work in front of Nehemiah was work people had already tried and abandoned.

Then look at what he did before he said a word. He reached Jerusalem and stayed three days. Then he went out at night with a few men, telling nobody what God had put in his heart. He rode the length of the wall past the broken places and the burned gates. Verse 16 says the officials had no idea where he'd been. He counted the broken places before he announced anything.

Now listen to the verb in verse 17. Let us rebuild, he says, in the first person plural. Nehemiah had the king's letters and the authority to use them, and the first thing out of his mouth was an invitation.

Chapter 3 shows how they did it. Somewhere around forty crews, and the chapter keeps repeating the same detail about them. This man repaired the section opposite his house. That one worked beside his own house. Nobody got handed the whole wall. Every man took the stretch in front of where he already lived, and the whole thing went up in fifty-two days.

Bart shares his own version of it. He left college after his first year and came back later to finish, which eventually led to a doctorate.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

Why the wall Nehemiah rebuilt was a project people had already abandoned once What he did for three days and one night before he said a word to anybody The detail chapter 3 repeats about forty crews, and what it tells you about where to start

Here's the practical step. Write down the thing you walked away from. Then write down what it would take to do the smallest piece of it this week, something the size of a phone call or a single page. Do that piece before Sunday. Then tell one person what you're doing. Nehemiah didn't rebuild that wall by himself, and he didn't plan to.

Prayer time becomes task-switching with your eyes closed. Learn why David asked God to search him after twenty-two verses saying God already had.

You sit down to pray and your mind is already somewhere else. The grocery list, or the email you forgot to send. Prayer time turns into task-switching with your eyes closed. You come back and apologize, and twenty seconds later you've drifted off again. Then the grading starts. You figure that if you can't hold your attention on God for five minutes, that says something about how much you want Him.

This episode opens with Kyle Strobel, who teaches spiritual formation at a seminary and has spent his career studying how people grow close to God. Prayer has never come easy for him. One time he sat down to pray, and when he came out of it he realized he had just outlined an entire book.

Psalm 139:23-24 gives you David's request for exactly this situation: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." Start with where that request falls in the psalm. Psalm 139 is the one about God knowing everything. Verse 1 says You have examined my heart and know everything about me. Verse 2 says You know my thoughts even when I am far away.

So David spends twenty-two verses on the fact that God already sees all of it. Then he turns around and asks God to search him, requesting something he just spent the whole psalm saying God does without being asked.

Now look at the words in verse 23. Know my anxious thoughts. The Hebrew there is related to the word for branches, so the picture is a mind splitting off in several directions at once. David had language for the wandering, and he brought the wandering to God as the request itself.

Then look at what he asks God to do with those thoughts. Know them. Point out what's wrong in them, and lead him somewhere better. He hands over the contents of his mind as the material God is going to work with. And verse 2 settles something that changes how you pray. God knew where your mind went before you noticed it had gone, so you aren't informing Him when you apologize for it.

Bart shares his own version of it, a week when a medical bill kept pulling his mind off prayer until he understood the bill was the thing to pray about.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

Why David asks God to search him after twenty-two verses saying God already has What the Hebrew behind "anxious thoughts" pictures about a wandering mind What to do with the next twenty seconds of drift, and why the coming back counts

Here's the practical step. Pray for ten minutes today with something to write on beside you. Every time your mind runs off, write down where it went in a word or two. Then look at that list when you're done. What's on the list is what your heart is on, and that's your prayer list for tomorrow. Quit apologizing for the coming back, and just come back.

The person who drifted forty times in ten minutes and came back forty times has prayed forty times. Most of us would have written that off as ten wasted minutes.

The fire of your early faith has settled and the highs come less often. Learn what Moses told Israel to do with forty years of wilderness, and why verse 4 matters.

You've been following Jesus for thirty or forty years, and it doesn't feel the way it did at the start. The worship service doesn't move you like it did when you were twenty-five. Then comes the thought that makes your stomach drop. You start wondering whether you've lost something, or whether you ever had it. That's a frightening thing to wonder about yourself, so most people never say it out loud to anybody.

This episode opens with writer J.S. Park, who spent his first few years as a Christian running on adrenaline, with worship nights and goosebumps that felt like God standing in the room. Then it faded, and the songs started to feel routine.

Deuteronomy 8:2 gives you Moses' assignment for exactly this moment: "Remember how the LORD your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands." Start with where Israel is standing. This is the second generation, camped on the edge of Canaan and about to walk in. Moses has them look back at forty years before he turns them loose to go forward.

Then look at what God was doing out there. The Hebrew under "to prove your character" is to know what was in your heart. He ran that wilderness on purpose, and part of what it did was show them what they were made of. Verse 3 gives His method: He let them get hungry and then fed them manna, to teach them that people don't live by bread alone.

Verse 4 is the one almost nobody preaches. For all these forty years your clothes didn't wear out, and your feet didn't blister or swell. Forty years of sandals holding together. Nobody writes a song about that, and Moses makes a point of putting it in the record. So a stretch of faith with fewer highs in it is not a stretch with less God in it.

Then stay in the chapter for the warning. Moses tells them to be careful in the years when they're full and prosperous with fine houses built. He puts the danger in the comfortable years.

Which gives you a way to tell maturity from drift, and verse 2 already handed it to you. God's test was whether they would obey His commands. A faith that has matured is still obeying and still remembering.

Bart shares his own version of it, a stretch of ministry years ago where he couldn't see one thing God was accomplishing, and what he can see in it now.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

What the Hebrew behind "to prove your character" says God was after in the wilderness The verse in Deuteronomy 8 almost nobody preaches, and what it says about undramatic providence Where Moses locates the danger, and the one question that separates maturity from drift

Here's the practical step. Make a list of what God has done in your life, going back as far as you can remember. Include the things nobody else would find impressive. Then find one entry you couldn't see while you were living it and mark it. That's your evidence He works where you can't watch Him. Then thank Him for both stages, back then and right now.

You told a friend to rest while you were burning out. Learn what Paul's repeated verb in Romans 2:21 asks, and the one step that closes the split.

You've done it. You told a friend to slow down and rest while you were running yourself into the ground. You told your kid to pray about something while you'd been avoiding God for a month. The counsel was good and you meant every word of it. You just weren't taking any of it.

This episode opens with King Solomon, called the wisest man alive, with rulers traveling to hear him and his own life a wreck of choices he would have talked anyone else out of. Researchers found the same split running through almost all of us.

Romans 2:21 has a question for people in exactly that position: "Well then, if you teach others, why don't you teach yourself? You tell others not to steal, but do you steal?" Back up four verses to see who Paul is addressing. He describes a man who boasts about his standing with God, a man convinced he's a guide for the blind and qualified to instruct everybody else. Then the questions start, and they land like jabs.

Look at the verb in that first question. In the Greek it's the same word both times. You who teach another, do you not teach yourself. Paul is asking whether the teacher has ever been in his own audience.

Then read three verses further, to verse 24, and the stakes get bigger than personal tidiness. The Scriptures say the Gentiles blaspheme the name of God because of you. People watching a teacher draw conclusions about God from how the teacher lives, and Paul says they're drawing the wrong ones.

A chapter later Paul writes that everyone has sinned and we all fall short, which keeps this from becoming a sermon about somebody else. The counsel you gave was good counsel. It just never earned you anything, and treating it like credit is what let the split sit there for years.

Bart shares his own version of it. He tells people they need a Sabbath rest built into their week, and he can make the biblical case for it in about four minutes. Then there are plenty of weeks where he works all seven days.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

What Paul's repeated verb in Romans 2:21 asks of the person doing the teaching Why verse 24 raises the stakes past your own tidiness What researchers found about taking your own advice, and why age doesn't fix it

Here's the practical step. Pick one piece of counsel you've given somebody recently and write it down in the words you used. Then put your own name at the top of it. Start with the one you'd be embarrassed to have the other person find out about, because that's where the seam is widest. If it's good counsel for them, it's good counsel for you. Then do the first piece of it today.

One finding from the research ought to get your attention. Older adults reasoned better than younger ones about somebody else's problem. On their own problems, the older group was no better. This does not sort itself out with time. You have to turn your own advice around and aim it at yourself on purpose, which is exactly what Paul was asking of the man who taught everybody else.

If the whole shape of your prayer life has become you talking to God about you, something starts to shrink. Learn the two verses before Job 42:10 that change how you read it, and the one name to pick this week.

Most of us pray mostly for ourselves. Our worries. Our needs. The job interview coming up, or the decision we've been turning over for a month. Nothing is wrong with any of that, since Jesus taught us to ask for daily bread and He meant ours. Here's the thing to watch for. If the whole shape of your prayer life has become you talking to God about you, something starts to shrink. Your field of vision gets about as wide as your own calendar.

This episode opens with Pablo Diaz, a minister whose job and habit was prayer. One day he looked at what he prayed about most and it was almost all one subject. Him. His worries and his needs. The list ran in a loop, and the loop was him.

The book of Job ends with a scene almost nobody preaches. Job 42:10 says, "When Job prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes. In fact, the LORD gave him twice as much as before!" But back up two verses, because the setup is what makes the verse land. Forty chapters of argument are over, and three friends have spent all of it telling Job his suffering proved there was sin in his house. One of them said it about his dead children. Then in verse 7 God tells Eliphaz His anger is burning against him and his two friends, because they have not spoken accurately about Him the way Job has.

Here's what God does with that anger. In verse 8 He tells those three men to go to Job, and He says Job will pray for them. He will accept Job's prayer on their behalf, and He won't treat them as they deserve. Read that again. God made Job the intercessor for the men who had accused him, and Job's prayer is the thing standing between his accusers and God's anger.

So when verse 10 says Job prayed for his friends, understand that God had already told him to do it. That matters, because verse 10 gets quoted as though intercession were a lever: pray for people and God doubles your holdings. The text won't support that. It records where the turn fell, which is a different claim.

And look at how it records it. The Hebrew in verse 10 is an expression older translations give as God turned the captivity of Job, the same phrase used for bringing exiles home. Job had been in a kind of captivity for forty-two chapters, and the hinge came at the point where he was occupied with somebody other than himself. He was still ruined when he started praying for those three men. He prayed for his accusers out of a pile of ashes, and that's where it turned.

Bart shares his own version of this, the long list of other people he prays for out loud on a Sunday and the much shorter list he prays when nobody is listening.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

The two verses before Job 42:10 that change how you read it Why God had already commanded the prayer before Job prayed it One name to pick this week, and the right thing to watch afterward

Pick one person you haven't been praying for, or one who has wronged you, and start bringing them before God this week. Then watch what happens inside you.

The thing you're hiding is doing less damage than the hiding itself, and the upkeep is daily. Learn what the Hebrew behind will not prosper says, and the second verb in Proverbs 28:13 that most people read past.

Some Christians have been keeping something from their husband or wife. A struggle with spending, or a doubt about God that's been growing for a year. You've told yourself you'll tell them when the time is right, and you've been telling yourself that for a while now. The time never does get right.

Here's what people underestimate about the hiding. It takes work to maintain. You steer conversations away from a subject, and you decide what to leave out of an answer that was otherwise true. All the while you're keeping a running account in your head of what your spouse knows. That upkeep is doing damage every day, and it's doing more of it than the thing you're hiding ever would. You promised to be known by this person, and the secret puts you in a marriage where one of you is being managed.

This episode opens with Melissa Houston, who paid the bills in her house and was the only one who saw the number. It started with a few online purchases, then came a family room remodel and a backyard pool. Her husband Jamie had a feeling something was off, but he trusted her with the money and didn't push. By the time Melissa looked squarely at it, the credit card debt had passed one hundred thousand dollars.

Proverbs 28:13 reads, "People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy." Start with the word conceal, because in the Hebrew it's the ordinary word for cover. Nothing dramatic in it, which fits, because most hiding is a hundred small coverings. Then look at what happens to that person. He will not prosper, and that Hebrew word means to advance or get somewhere. Solomon doesn't call the concealer a monster. He says the man is stalled, which is worth hearing if your marriage has felt stuck and you couldn't say why.

Now the part worth reading before you have the conversation. Count the verbs in the second half. If they confess and turn from them. That's two verbs, and Solomon attaches the mercy to both of them together. So the conversation isn't the whole assignment. Confession without turning is a man telling his wife the truth about something he intends to keep doing, and the proverb doesn't promise him anything. If the struggle is spending, the turning looks like handing over the account access. If it's a doubt, it looks like getting in front of somebody who can help.

Bart shares his own version of this, how quick he is to buy what he wants and what he's caught himself doing afterward about when his wife hears about it.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

What the Hebrew behind "will not prosper" says about a stalled marriage The second verb in Proverbs 28:13 that most people read past The order to do this in, and what to bring with you to the conversation

Pray before you speak, then tell your spouse what you've been keeping. Bring the first step of the turning with you, because mercy is waiting on the other side of both verbs.

A note on today's topic. If telling your spouse what you've been keeping would put you in danger, please talk to a pastor or a licensed counselor first and let them help you plan the conversation. That is wisdom, not cowardice. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available around the clock in the United States.

Story source. Melissa and Jamie Houston's account was reported by CNBC in February 2022 in a piece on couples who worked through financial secrets in their marriages.

The sermons reference political figures and the small group assumes how you vote, so you bite your tongue or stay home. Learn the request Jesus refused to make for His disciples, and what He asked for instead.

A lot of Christians are uneasy about what their church has become. The sermons reference political figures more than they used to, and the small-group conversation assumes everybody in the room votes the same way. So you bite your tongue, or you stay home more Sundays and tell yourself it's the schedule.

One thing to grant before going further. Once you start listening for politics, you will hear it in places where it isn't. A pastor preaches a passage about marriage or money. It lands on a subject that's in the news, and now it sounds like a campaign speech when it was in the text all along. Both are happening right now, and part of the work is telling them apart.

This episode opens with Daniel Breed, a pastor in Appleton, Wisconsin, whose church has voters from both parties in the same rows. All over the country churches are getting political and people are slipping out the back. Daniel had a plan that sounded like the last thing that would work.

Jesus prayed about this the night before He died. John 17:14 reads, "I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world." This is hours before the cross, and everything He asks for here, He asks knowing His disciples will be on their own by morning. The Greek behind do not belong to the world is about where a person comes from and whose he is, so He's describing their citizenship.

Then comes the verse to hold onto, the one right after it. Jesus says, I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. He had the option and declined it on purpose. What He asked for was protection inside the room, which means if your plan has been to drift out the back, Jesus already prayed against that plan.

By verse 21 Jesus prays that they would all be one, so the world would believe the Father sent Him. The unity is part of the argument for Christ, which means a church that sorts itself by party spends the one thing Jesus asked for on His last night.

Bart shares his own version of this, the members who once pushed him to promote a political party from the platform, and where he draws the line on what Scripture teaches about our moral and ethical responsibilities.

Daniel's answer was a class, with a shared meal and open conversation about how people who vote differently can still belong to the same church. He also gave his own explanation for why it held, crediting the social capital his congregation had already built, the years of ordinary life together that let people hold different opinions and stay.

The request Jesus declined to make for His disciples, and what He asked for instead Why unity across difference is part of the case for Christ Two things to do that are both harder than leaving

Your identity is in Christ before it is in any country, and God is a long way bigger than whatever is happening this month. Pray for your pastor, and stay in the room.

You know God forgave what you did, and you still cringe at the person who did it. Learn where Isaiah 1:18 falls in the chapter, and why God picked the two stains everybody knew were permanent.

A lot of Christians have pockets of embarrassment about who they used to be. Decisions you'd never make now, or a choice you look back at and wince about. Here's what's confusing about it. You may be completely settled with God about what you did. You've confessed it. You believe He forgave it, and the guilt is gone. The embarrassment is a different animal. Guilt is about the act. Embarrassment is about the person who did it, which means forgiveness can be fully applied to the deed and you'll still cringe at the self.

This episode opens with Andrea, who spent her freshman year of college partying more than studying. Years later she could live with the bad transcript. What stayed with her was the girl she'd been that year, and every time the memory came up she'd wince. She had changed years earlier, and she just hadn't stopped punishing herself for who she used to be.

Isaiah has a verse for this, and where it falls in the chapter is half the point. Isaiah 1:18 reads, "Come now, let's settle this," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow." Isaiah 1 is built as a courtroom. God calls heaven and earth as witnesses in verse 2, then brings the charges without softening one of them. By verse 15 He tells them their hands are covered with blood. So the offer in verse 18 arrives after a complete indictment, and God never minimizes a thing on His way to it.

Then look at what He proposes. Come now, let's settle this. The Hebrew is a legal word for arguing a case all the way to its conclusion, which is why older translations give it as let us reason together. God is offering to close the file.

And look at the colors He picked. Scarlet and crimson came from an insect, and they were the most colorfast dyes in the ancient world. People in that room knew those stains did not come out of cloth. God picks the two permanent ones on purpose, and He offers back the color the wool was before anybody dyed it.

Here's what settles the embarrassment. A settled case stays settled. God isn't holding the file open waiting on you to feel worse about it first, and verses 19 and 20 lay out the terms, so there's a cost on your side of it. He closed it. Which means every time you replay that memory and wince, you're relitigating a case that was settled years ago. You're the only party still arguing it.

So quit arguing the closed case. When the memory comes back, you don't have to review the evidence again. And let the memory be evidence of the settlement, because that kid in your head is proof of something God did.

Bart shares his own version of this, his own freshman year and the 7:30 class he kept missing while his books stayed in his room.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

Why embarrassment outlives guilt, even after you know you're forgiven What the Hebrew behind "let's settle this" says about a closed file Why God chose scarlet and crimson out of all the colors available

Who you were isn't who you are. God has moved on from it, and He's inviting you to as well.
