2 Samuel 1:19, 20

In a world filled with distractions, it is easy to get lost in the noise of popular opinion. Everyone tells you to fight for your rights and stand up for yourself, yet we never consider the cost of always being self-seeking. Look into the importance of seeing the big picture by studying the lives of David, Daniel, and Joseph in this 4-day plan.

The Bible contains many stories about people who lived thousands of years ago. Their situation was very different from ours. And yet, their lives contain valuable lessons for us — which is why they were recorded in the Bible! This reading plan studies the lives of Jonathan and David and their friendship. Will you read along?

It is our hope and prayer that the devotionals that follow will warm your heart and lift your spirit as they lead you to lean on the Lord, our Shepherd and our Guide through the valley of grief.

First responders answer the call by running to trouble every day. Where do they turn when they need help? This reading plan from Our Daily Bread Ministries includes encouraging meditations that have been written specifically for police, firefighters, EMTs, and medical personnel.
