Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 1 Peter 5:9

"Be still, and know that I am God;" (PSALM 46:10a). Many Christians are familiar with this verse, but do we really understand it? This exhortation applies when we are distracted by our successes, as when we are fearful and disquieted by some troublesome news. We must learn to quiet ourselves by opening God’s Word and gaining His perspective in both cases.

It was 2003 when I looked into the mirror and fully surrendered my 25-year battle with bulimia over to Jesus. Although I had been working on recovery with the Lord for more than a year, I realized there was one final step before freedom was truly mine. Twenty-one-years later, I am still walking in freedom! Breaking free is only part of the battle. Staying free requires a new level of strength and strategy. This plan reveals several keys to success that have guided my personal freedom-journey, and they can help you stay free too.

Life is hard. The struggle IS real. While all of us experience seasons of blessing, we are broken people living in a broken world.

(We recommend using The Message (MSG) translation.)

In this reading plan, we want to encourage you and to teach you how to handle affliction.

"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30). This is the essence of Biblical fasting; decrease and increase. Saying "no" (decrease) to something good to say "yes" (increase) to something, or Someone, better. As we deny ourselves, it is important to keep our focus on the One we are pursuing.
