Our God Reigns | Psalm 11 | Daily Devotion | Pastor Jim Cymbala
God is on the throne, and He will have the final word. It's hard to be confident in that when it seems like everyone is against us. But our God is a sovereign ruler. We have no reason to lie awake at night wondering what others think of us—that won't matter in eternity. God is on our side. People may hurt us, but God will never fail us.

Think About It! | Psalm 10 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Wicked people are full of pride, cockiness, and self-assurance—they are against God and His goodness. Christians are called to be different! Let's not think about ourselves. Instead, let's think about our almighty, loving Creator God! Every breath we have comes from Him. Let's live for the Lord.

Don’t Be Half-Baked | Psalm 9 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Does anyone enjoy a half-baked cake? No! In the same way, the Lord doesn’t want us to be "half-baked" Christians—people who serve Him half-heartedly. The psalmist encourages us to pray, study, worship with all our hearts! Isn’t God worthy of that? He is.

Eyes on Jesus | Psalm 8 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
If we look at politics and news all day, we will become depressed. Instead, we should focus on the One who came to save us—Jesus! We don’t have to look at people. Instead, we can keep our eyes on Jesus, who is our future.

Let God Vindicate | Psalm 7 | Daily Devotions | Pastor Jim Cymbala
Hatred is everywhere, every day. Revenge seems so sweet, right? No! As Christians, we have to let God handle everything. We should pause and think, "Do we want God to vindicate and protect us, or do we want to handle things ourselves?" Whatever situations we find ourselves in, we can say, “God, You take care of it. Be my vindication.” He'll do it!
