    February 8 - Words That Bring Life

    FEBRUARY 8 - Words That Bring Life 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:11–12; Acts 8 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.” — Proverbs 10:11–12 (ESV) “Now those who were scattered went about preaching the word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.” — Acts 8:4–5 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever noticed how powerful words can be? A single comment from a friend can make your day—or completely ruin it. Proverbs reminds us that our words can either bring life or stir up conflict. In Acts 8, even though believers were scattered by persecution, they didn’t waste their breath complaining—they used their words to spread hope in Jesus. Philip’s preaching brought joy to a whole city! What we say matters, and when our words flow from God’s love, they can bring healing, courage, and light to people who desperately need it. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Life or Death Words: Do your words lift others up like “a fountain of life,” or do they tear people down? Think about the impact your conversations have. 2. Love Over Hate: Hatred stirs up drama, but love smooths things over. How can you choose to respond with love, especially when someone gets on your nerves? 3. Use Your Voice for Christ: The scattered believers in Acts didn’t stay silent—they spoke about Jesus. How can you use your voice in your school, online, or in your friendships to point people toward Him? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE Your words carry power—so choose to speak life, show love, and share Jesus wherever you go. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of words and the power they hold. Help me to speak life and not negativity. Teach me to respond with love instead of anger, and give me courage to use my voice to share Jesus with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 7 - Walk Straight, Stand Strong

    FEBRUARY 7 - Walk Straight, Stand Strong 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:9–10; Acts 7 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” — Proverbs 10:9 (ESV) “But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” — Acts 7:55 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever felt pressure to just go along with the crowd, even when you know it’s wrong? It’s easy to laugh at the joke that’s mean, to cheat on an assignment because “everyone else is doing it,” or to hide what you believe because you don’t want to stand out. But Proverbs 10:9 reminds us that living with integrity—choosing honesty and faithfulness—leads to real security, while crooked paths eventually catch up to us. Stephen in Acts 7 shows us what it looks like to stand strong. Even when people opposed him, he stayed full of the Spirit, fixed his eyes on Jesus, and never wavered. His story challenges us to choose courage over compromise, knowing Jesus is watching and standing with us. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Integrity Matters: In what areas of your life are you tempted to “cut corners”? How does walking with integrity bring peace and confidence? 2. Eyes on Jesus: When life gets tough or people misunderstand your faith, what would it look like for you to fix your eyes on Jesus like Stephen did? 3. Courage Over Comfort: What’s one step you can take this week to boldly live out your faith, even if it feels uncomfortable? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE Walking in integrity and keeping your eyes on Jesus gives you strength to stand strong, no matter what. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that integrity and courage matter. Help me to walk in honesty and faithfulness, even when it’s hard. Fill me with Your Spirit like Stephen, so that I can keep my eyes on Jesus and stand strong in my faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 6 - Wisdom That Stands Out

    FEBRUARY 6 - Wisdom That Stands Out 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:8; Psalm 15; Acts 6 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “The wise of heart will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin.” — Proverbs 10:8 (ESV) “He who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend.” — Psalm 15:3 (ESV) “And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.” — Acts 6:8 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever noticed how some people just stand out—not because they’re loud, but because their life speaks louder than their words? That’s what the Bible shows us in Proverbs 10, Psalm 15, and Acts 6. Proverbs says wisdom listens and obeys, while foolishness just keeps talking. Psalm 15 shows what kind of life honors God: one that speaks truth and treats people right. Then in Acts 6, we meet Stephen, who didn’t just say he believed in Jesus—he lived it with boldness, grace, and power. It’s a reminder that what really sets you apart isn’t how flashy you are, but how much your life reflects Christ. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Listen Before Speaking: Are you more eager to listen to God’s Word and wise advice, or to just say what’s on your mind? How can you grow in being “wise of heart” (Proverbs 10:8)? 2. Character Matters: Psalm 15 reminds us that integrity shows up in how we treat people. How can you be intentional this week in speaking kindly and standing up for friends instead of tearing others down? 3. Live Boldly: Stephen’s life in Acts 6 was marked by grace and power. What would it look like for you to be known as someone full of faith and courage in your school, team, or family? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE True wisdom isn’t just about what you know—it’s shown in how you live, love, and stand for God. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me that wisdom isn’t about being the loudest voice but about living in a way that honors You. Help me to listen to Your Word, treat others with kindness, and be bold in my faith like Stephen. May my life reflect Your truth and love wherever I go. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 5 - Living with a Lasting Name

    FEBRUARY 5 - Living with a Lasting Name 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:6–7; Acts 5 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.” — Proverbs 10:6–7 (ESV) “But Peter and the apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men.’” — Acts 5:29 (ESV) ________________________________________ Everyone wants to be remembered for something. Some people chase fame, likes, or followers. But Proverbs 10:7 reminds us that it’s not about popularity—it’s about living in a way that honors God, leaving behind a memory that blesses others. In Acts 5, the apostles had a choice: listen to powerful people who told them to stay quiet about Jesus, or stand boldly for the truth even if it cost them everything. Their courage shows us that real legacy is built on obedience to God, not the approval of people. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Your Legacy Matters: How do you want to be remembered by your friends, family, or classmates? Are your daily choices shaping that kind of memory? 2. Obedience Over Popularity: The apostles said, “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). When was the last time you had to choose between doing what was right and what was popular? 3. Blessings Follow Righteousness: Proverbs says blessings rest on the righteous. How can living with integrity open the door for God’s favor in your life? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE A life lived in obedience to God leaves behind a legacy that never fades. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that how I live today shapes how I’ll be remembered tomorrow. Give me courage to obey You even when it’s hard or unpopular. Help me to live with integrity, walk in Your blessing, and leave behind a life that points others to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 4 - Don’t Waste Your Season

    FEBRUARY 4 - Don’t Waste Your Season 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:4–5; Psalm 14; Acts 4 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame.” — Proverbs 10:4–5 (ESV) “The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.” — Psalm 14:2 (ESV) “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” — Acts 4:13 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever looked back on a test, a game, or even a friendship and thought, “I really could’ve tried harder”? We all know the sting of wasted opportunities. Proverbs 10:4–5 reminds us that being diligent now shapes what we reap later. Psalm 14:2 shows that God is watching to see who truly seeks Him—not halfheartedly, but with real pursuit. And in Acts 4:13, Peter and John stood boldly before powerful leaders, and people noticed the difference—because they had been with Jesus. The choices you make today with your time, effort, and faith prepare you for what God wants to do in and through you tomorrow. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Be Diligent Now: What are areas in your life where you’ve been “asleep during harvest”? How can you take small, consistent steps of diligence—like in prayer, school, or relationships? 2. Seek God Daily: If the Lord looked at your heart today (Psalm 14:2), would He see someone who’s really chasing after Him? What’s one way you can grow closer to Him this week? 3. Be Recognized by His Presence: When others see you, do they recognize that you’ve “been with Jesus” like Peter and John? What would that look like in your attitude, words, or confidence? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE Don’t waste your season—seek God diligently today so His presence marks your life tomorrow. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that what I do now matters for the future You have for me. Help me not to waste my opportunities but to be diligent in my faith, my work, and my relationships. Let others see that I’ve been with Jesus by the way I live boldly and faithfully. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 3 - More Than Silver and Gold

    FEBRUARY 3 - More Than Silver and Gold 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:3; Acts 3 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.” — Proverbs 10:3 (ESV) “And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms.” — Acts 3:9–10 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever really wanted something—new shoes, the latest phone, or even just the approval of people around you—but realized it didn’t actually fill you up inside? In Proverbs 10:3, God promises to meet the needs of those who walk with Him. The beggar in Acts 3 thought he needed money, but what he really needed was healing and a new life. And when God moved through Peter and John, the man received far more than he expected—he was walking, leaping, and praising God! Just like that man, we often chase what we think will satisfy us, but God has something greater in mind. He knows our real need, and He’s faithful to fill it. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. God Knows Your Real Need: What’s one thing you’ve been asking God for that might not be your deepest need? Could He be wanting to give you something even better? 2. Faith Over Fixes: Like the man at the temple gate, are you looking for quick fixes instead of lasting change? How does trusting Jesus shift your perspective? 3. Your Story Shines: When the man was healed, everyone noticed. How can your own story of God’s faithfulness encourage someone else today? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE God provides more than what we think we need—He gives us what will truly satisfy and bring Him glory. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You that You see my true needs even when I don’t. Help me to trust that Your plans are better than my own desires. Open my eyes to recognize Your greater blessings and give me the courage to share Your goodness with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 2 - A Secure Place to Stand

    FEBRUARY 2 - A Secure Place to Stand 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:2; Psalm 16; Acts 2 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.” — Proverbs 10:2 (ESV) “I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.” — Psalm 16:8 (ESV) “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” — Acts 2:42 (ESV) ________________________________________ Everyone wants to feel secure. Maybe it’s fitting in at school, getting good grades, or having people you can count on. But real security isn’t found in popularity, money, or even success—it’s found in God. Proverbs 10:2 reminds us that chasing after things the wrong way never lasts. Psalm 16:8 shows us the secret: keeping God in front of us keeps us unshaken. And in Acts 2:42, the early church shows how they stayed strong—by sticking together, learning God’s Word, and praying. If you want unshakable confidence in life, it starts with choosing God first and surrounding yourself with people who do the same. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. What Really Lasts: Are you putting more energy into chasing things that won’t last, or into building a life that honors God? 2. Stay Steady: What does it look like for you to “set the Lord always before you” in your everyday routine? 3. Find Your People: Who in your life helps you grow in faith, like the believers in Acts 2:42 did for one another? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE True security isn’t found in stuff or status—it’s found in God’s presence and in walking with His people. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for being my steady foundation when everything else feels shaky. Help me to keep You in front of me every day and to choose what truly lasts. Surround me with friends and mentors who point me closer to You, and teach me to find joy in Your presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

    February 1 - Living with Lasting Impact

    FEBRUARY 1 - Living with Lasting Impact 3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:1; Acts 1 // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3-Year Bible Devotional Book (Year Two) Available on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ // ________________________________________ “A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.” — Proverbs 10:1 (ESV) “And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, ‘you heard from me.’” — Acts 1:4 (ESV) “And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.” — Acts 1:9 (ESV) ________________________________________ Have you ever felt the pressure of choices—like one small decision can either make things better or blow things up? Proverbs says a wise son makes his parents glad, but foolishness brings sorrow (Proverbs 10:1). That’s not just about family—it’s about influence. The disciples in Acts 1 were about to make choices too. Jesus told them to wait for God’s promise, even though they probably wanted to rush ahead. Then, in a moment that must have stunned them, He ascended right before their eyes (Acts 1:9). Imagine the mix of fear, wonder, and responsibility they felt. Just like them, your choices today—whether to be wise or foolish, to wait on God or rush ahead—shape the kind of impact you leave on others. ________________________________________ THINK ABOUT IT 1. Wisdom vs. Foolishness: What’s one choice you’ve made recently that showed wisdom? What about one that showed foolishness? How did it affect the people around you? 2. Wait on God: Why do you think Jesus told His disciples to wait for the Father’s promise instead of acting right away? What might God be asking you to wait on right now? 3. Eyes on Eternity: The disciples watched Jesus ascend into heaven. How can remembering that Jesus is alive and reigning change how you live today? ________________________________________ BOTTOM LINE Every choice matters—choose wisdom, wait on God, and live with eternity in mind. ________________________________________ PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that my choices carry weight. Help me to walk in wisdom that honors You and blesses those around me. Teach me to wait on Your timing instead of rushing ahead, and keep my heart focused on Jesus, who reigns forever. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
