Can God use someone with a broken past?

Today’s devotion from Joshua 2:1–24 tells the powerful story of Rahab, a woman in Jericho whose faith changed the future of her family and placed her in the family line of Jesus Christ.

Rahab lived in a city marked for judgment, yet she heard about the mighty works of the Lord and believed. While others in Jericho were filled with fear, Rahab responded with faith. She hid the Israelite spies, risked her life, and declared, “The Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.”

Her faith was not just words. It moved her to action. She protected the spies, asked for mercy for her family, and tied the scarlet cord in her window as the sign of deliverance. That scarlet cord points us beautifully to the saving blood of Jesus Christ, which covers and protects all who trust in Him.

Rahab’s story reminds us that no past is too broken for God’s grace. No person is too unlikely for God to use. True faith trusts God enough to act, even when obedience feels risky.

This message is for anyone who feels disqualified by their past, afraid to step out in faith, or unsure whether God can still use their life. Rahab’s story declares that God’s mercy reaches the unlikely, restores the broken, and writes redemption into places others would overlook.

Have you forgotten who holds your life together?

Today’s devotion from Psalm 104:1–35 reminds us that God is the great and loving Gardener — the Creator, Provider, Sustainer, and Renewing Lord over all creation.

Psalm 104 begins and ends with the words, “Bless the Lord, O my soul!” The psalmist calls his own heart to worship as he looks at the majesty of God revealed through light, clouds, wind, water, mountains, valleys, animals, trees, seasons, oceans, and every living thing.

This message reminds us that God is not distant from His creation. He sends springs into the valleys, gives drink to the animals, provides homes for the birds, waters the hills, causes grass and vegetation to grow, and opens His hand so that living things are filled with good.

Psalm 104 also teaches us that every creature depends completely on God. Our breath, food, work, strength, family, community, and daily provision are all gifts from His loving hand. Life is not held together by luck, chance, or human strength. It is sustained by the Lord who made all things in wisdom.

This devotion invites us to recover wonder, gratitude, and worship. When we truly see God’s hand in creation, ordinary life becomes sacred. The morning light, the food on our table, the work of our hands, and the breath in our lungs all become reminders that our Heavenly Father is caring for us.

Ultimately, Psalm 104 points us to the God who renews by His Spirit. The same Lord who renews the face of the earth can renew weary hearts, restore spiritual joy, and teach us to bless Him in every season.

Is God telling you to step forward now?

Today’s devotion from Joshua 1:1–18 reminds us that there comes a time when God calls His people to arise, go, and move forward into a new season with courage. Moses had died, Joshua was now called to lead, and Israel was standing at the edge of the Jordan River, preparing to enter the land God had promised.

This message is for anyone facing transition, responsibility, uncertainty, loss, leadership change, or a new beginning. God’s command to Joshua was clear: “Be strong and of good courage.” But that courage was not based on Joshua’s strength — it was based on God’s promise: “I will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Joshua 1 teaches us that faith does not remain stuck in yesterday’s season. Faith honors the past, listens to God’s Word, prepares for the future, and steps forward in obedience. The promise was already given, but Joshua still had to cross the Jordan.

This chapter also reminds us that true success comes from meditating on God’s Word day and night and obeying what He has spoken. Courage without obedience becomes self-confidence, but courage rooted in God’s Word becomes faithfulness.

Ultimately, Joshua points us to Jesus Christ, the perfect Leader who has gone before us, conquered sin and death, and now leads His people into eternal rest. Because He is with us, we can face every new season with courage and hope.

What if you don’t see the promise yet?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 34:1–12 brings us to the moving final chapter of Moses’ life. After forty years of leading Israel through the wilderness, Moses climbs Mount Nebo and sees the Promised Land from a distance. God shows him the inheritance promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — yet Moses does not cross over.

This message reminds us that faithfulness is not measured only by what we personally receive, but by whether we trust God’s promises beyond what we can see. Moses finished his race in obedience, even though the fullness of the promise would be carried forward through Joshua.

Deuteronomy 34 teaches us that God’s plans are bigger than one person, one season, or one lifetime. Sometimes we plant what others will harvest. Sometimes we prepare the way for the next generation. Sometimes we see the promise from afar and trust God to fulfill it after our part is complete.

This chapter also points us to Jesus Christ, the greater Prophet and perfect Leader. Moses could lead Israel toward the land, but Jesus brings His people into the eternal promise of salvation, forgiveness, rest, and life with God forever.

Where do you find strength when you feel weak?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 33:1–29 reminds us that God is the One who blesses His people with strength, provision, safety, purpose, and His unfailing presence.

As Moses approached the end of his life, he gathered the tribes of Israel and spoke blessing over them. Each tribe received a unique word, reminding us that God knows His people personally. He knows our calling, our needs, our weaknesses, our responsibilities, and the grace required for every season.

This chapter gives one of the most comforting promises in Scripture: “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” When we are weak, He upholds us. When we stumble, He carries us. When we face uncertainty, He shelters us. When everything around us changes, He remains our refuge.

Deuteronomy 33 also points us to Jesus Christ, the full revelation of God’s blessing. He is our King, our High Priest, our Refuge, our living water, our true manna, and the One who will never leave nor forsake His people. Through His death and resurrection, we receive the greatest blessing of all: belonging to God forever.

What remains when everything else fails?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 32:1–51 reminds us that God is the Rock — perfect in His work, just in His ways, faithful in His love, and unchanging in His character.

Moses’ song calls heaven and earth to listen as he proclaims the greatness of the Lord. Before Israel’s failure is exposed, God’s character is exalted: “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice.”

This message reminds us that human hearts may drift, blessings may be forgotten, leaders may pass away, strength may fail, and false foundations may collapse — but God remains steadfast. He found His people in the wilderness, carried them like an eagle, protected them as the apple of His eye, and faithfully led them by His grace.

Deuteronomy 32 also warns us about spiritual forgetfulness. When comfort replaces gratitude and prosperity replaces dependence, the heart can slowly drift from the Rock of salvation. Yet even in discipline, God’s purpose is restoration. He exposes false foundations so we may return to the only One who can truly sustain us.

This chapter ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the Rock of our salvation. In Him, God’s justice and mercy meet perfectly. Through His death and resurrection, wandering hearts can return to God and find forgiveness, life, and an unshakable foundation.

Are you afraid of what comes next?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 31:1–30 reminds us that God goes before His people and stays with them through every season of transition. Moses was nearing the end of his earthly ministry, Joshua was being prepared to lead, and Israel was about to cross the Jordan into an unknown future.

Humanly speaking, this was a moment filled with uncertainty. But Moses pointed the people away from fear and toward the unchanging faithfulness of God: “Be strong and of good courage… for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

This message speaks to every believer facing change, responsibility, loss, uncertainty, new beginnings, or difficult decisions. Your confidence is not in your ability to control tomorrow, but in the God who already holds tomorrow in His hands.

Deuteronomy 31 also points us to Jesus Christ, who has gone before us through suffering, death, and resurrection. Because He has conquered sin and death, no road His people walk is ever walked alone. Through the Holy Spirit, Christ remains with us always, even to the end of the age.

Is God calling you to come back home?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 30:1–20 is a powerful message of hope, restoration, and mercy. After the blessings and warnings of the covenant, Moses reminds Israel that even if they fail, wander, and are scattered among the nations, the Lord still provides a way back.

God’s heart is not merely to discipline His people, but to restore them. He promises to gather them, bring them back, have compassion on them, and transform their hearts so they may love Him with all their heart and soul.

This chapter reminds us that no one is too far from God’s mercy. There is no distance too great for His grace, no failure too deep for His forgiveness, and no wandering heart beyond His loving call to return.

Deuteronomy 30 also points us to Jesus Christ, who is Life Himself. Through His death and resurrection, we receive forgiveness, a new heart, the gift of the Holy Spirit, and eternal life. God does not simply command us to choose life — He offers us life through Christ.

Have you forgotten how merciful God has been?

Today’s devotion from Psalm 103:1–22 reminds us to bless the Lord and forget not all His benefits. David speaks to his own soul and calls his heart back to worship by remembering the mercy, forgiveness, healing, redemption, compassion, and everlasting love of God.

This message is for every weary believer who has remembered their burdens more than God’s blessings, their failures more than His forgiveness, and their unanswered prayers more than His daily mercies. Psalm 103 reminds us that God forgives all our iniquities, redeems our lives from destruction, crowns us with lovingkindness, and removes our sins as far as the east is from the west.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust. He deals with His children not according to what we deserve, but according to His unfailing compassion.

Most of all, Psalm 103 points us to Jesus Christ. Through Him, our sins are forgiven, our lives are redeemed, our relationship with the Father is restored, and our hope is secure forever. Every blessing David celebrates finds its fullest meaning in Christ.

Have you forgotten how faithful God has been?

Today’s devotion from Deuteronomy 29:1–29 reminds us to look back and remember the faithfulness of God. Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses called the people to remember what the Lord had already done — the deliverance from Egypt, the signs and wonders, forty years of wilderness provision, clothes that did not wear out, sandals that did not wear out, and victories over stronger enemies.

This message reminds us that gratitude protects the heart from drifting. We often become anxious about tomorrow because we forget how faithfully God carried us yesterday. Every answered prayer, every unseen protection, every daily mercy, and every season of strength is a testimony that God has never failed.

Deuteronomy 29 also reminds us that some things belong only to the Lord. We may not understand every mystery, every delay, or every difficult chapter of life, but we can trust the God whose character has already been proven faithful.

This chapter points us to Jesus Christ, the greatest revelation of God’s faithfulness. Through His death and resurrection, our sins are forgiven, our relationship with the Father is restored, and every promise of God finds its “Yes” and “Amen” in Him.
