Inspired Wisdom
A-poe-la-pi is an elderly Akha, a member of a hill tribe people who live on some mountain ranges in China. During a missions trip, my friends and I visited A-poe-la-pi. He said to us, “Due to the downpour last night, I couldn’t make it to the gathering. Could you share with me God’s Word?” You see, A-poe-la-pi is illiterate, so the weekly gathering is the only way for him to take in Scripture. As we shared, he listened intently. And his earnest attitude reminded me that when we listen to or study the Bible to gain the wisdom of God,…
The comfort of knowing that Jesus knows everything
What if someone could hear your every thought, see your every action, or experience your every emotion? Scary idea, right? Well, join us on “Discover the Word” today as we continue our study in Hebrews and talk about how Jesus knows everything about us, but that’s not necessarily scary. It’s a great encouragement!
Messages of Hope
I love collecting old books. There’s something exciting about holding in my hands a work that’s been thumbed through over the years by others. In my mind, each tome has a story to tell far beyond the words on its pages—if only it could talk!
Scripture as a source of encouragement
When life becomes hard to handle, we all need words of encouragement to keep us going. Need to hear some words of hope? Tune in today to “Discover the Word” as we continue our series on the Missing Ingredient.
I just received and read your newly formatted "Our Daily Bread". I love it!
I have been reading and studying your daily devotions for over 40 years. Sometimes I will add other devotional material and they come and go but I always read first your devotion and continue to do that to this very day.
Not long ago I was given the incredible opportunity of being a part of a team to train Muslim men and women who had believed and trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord in Tunisia. We use the Bible Training Center for Pastor's teachings to provide the basic knowledge and skills for these Christians to effectively and rightly divide the Word of Truth as they lead and pastor others. In my part of the teachings my pastor said to me that my presentation seemed like a series of devotionals linked together. It was then that I realized that after so many years of reading your devotions I have been trained to rightly divide the Word through you under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. My pastor has a seminary degree. I have the practical everyday Biblical foundation that you have given me that has made a huge difference in my life as I share the love of Christ to others.
I thank God for you and the influence your ministry has provided me.
In Christ,
John Herzer.
ReadGod Speaks
One day I had an interesting conversation with a young man. Although he believed that God existed, he didn’t think that He was directly involved in the affairs of humanity—a belief known as deism.
I have been reading Our Daily Bread since I was a teenager. It has become a major part of my daily devotions both in private and in Class Devotions. I share…

A Voice in the Wilderness
A solitary life . . . compelled by conviction . . . a voice crying in the wilderness . . . an ancient prophet . . . speaking on behalf of God. Who speaks for God today? How can we know whether we are hearing the voice of God or the voice of man?
How God Speaks
According to the Bible, prophets like Elijah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel heard the voice of God. In the streets of Capernaum, Jericho, and Jerusalem, followers of Jesus heard Him say that He spoke not only on His own behalf, but also on behalf of the Father in heaven who sent Him. Does God still speak in the land of Israel—or anywhere for that matter? To consider such questions, Day of Discovery’s Mart DeHaan and Jimmy DeYoung have returned to this Holy Land of the prophets to discover more about “How God Speaks.”
Awake With His Word
My eyes fluttered open, but the room was still dark. It was too early to get up. I sighed, adjusted my pillow, and hoped for sleep. Unfortunately, a lengthy to-do list bombarded my brain. I needed to buy groceries, deliver a meal to a friend, answer e-mail, schedule a doctor’s appointment . . . .
