Verse of the day

Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the LORD.

It’s not up to you to be best friends with everyone. With as many people as there are in the world, that’s just not possible. But if there’s an opportunity to live in peace with someone, why not take it? Not every effort will be reciprocated but your heart can still reflect Christ.

Colossians 3:15
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Every day, a lot of emotions try to rule your heart—fear, anger, and jealousy. They push hard to take the lead. But here’s the thing: when you’re ruled by your emotions, it’s hard to live by faith. That’s why Paul reminds us not to let our emotions take the driver’s seat, but instead, to let the peace of Christ take command.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

When you turn on the news, it’s rarely uplifting. There’s so much evil and chaos happening in the world, it can make you want to shut everything off and hide away. But even amid all that noise and fear, Jesus spoke something powerful to His disciples—and to us. Peace isn’t something you can expect to find in the world. It’s only something He can give.

Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD Himself, is the Rock eternal.

If you’ve ever gone bird watching, you know it’s almost impossible to focus on a bird while it’s flying. But once it lands on a branch and stays still—that’s when you can really see it clearly. And it’s the same with your mind. When your thoughts are darting all over the place, it’s hard to let it be at peace. But when you intentionally focus on the One who never changes—the Prince of Peace—that’s when true peace happens.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

When you train for a marathon, you don’t follow a one-size-fits-all plan. You train based on your body. And in the same way, that’s what God wants you to do with your kids. Train them in the way they should go—not just copying what someone else is doing, but listening to the One who created them in the first place.

Proverbs 29:17
Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire.

If you want your household to have peace, then discipline has to be part of the way you raise your kids. But here’s the thing—discipline isn’t about being harsh or using force. It’s about teaching boundaries—healthy limits that protect your child, not provoke them. When you discipline with love, consistency, and patience, you’re not just correcting behavior—you’re shaping character.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

If you’re a parent, then you need to be a storyteller. Not just the kind who reads bedtime books, but someone who faithfully shares the stories of what God has done—in Scripture, in your life, and in the lives of others. Because it’s in the repetition, in the weaving of God’s faithfulness into everyday conversations, that truth gets planted deep in your child’s heart.

Proverbs 17:6
Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents the pride of their children.

Usually, a crown is decorated with rubies, diamonds, and emeralds—jewels of great price and beauty. But what you might not realize is that, to many grandparents, their grandchildren are the most precious jewels they could ever wear. They represent a legacy of love—proof that life continues to grow and flourish, and that part of them still lives on.

Matthew 18:2-3
He called a little child to Him and placed the child among them. And He said, Truly, I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

To be great, you have to be like a child. The disciples were a lot like us, they wanted Jesus to tell them who was the greatest. But Jesus didn’t focus on position, He focused on posture. And the posture He highlighted was humility. In other words, greatness in God’s Kingdom isn’t about rising above others, it’s about humbling yourself before Him.

Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

When you discipline your kids, it’s easy to slide from instruction into a lecture—to move from training to tearing down. But a good father knows the difference. He steps back from anger and chooses patience. He understands that discipline isn’t about control, it’s about preparation. It’s not just about correcting behavior, but about shaping character.

Hebrews 12:7
Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His child. For what children are not disciplined by their father?

Discipline is never fun in the moment. But a good father knows—it’s necessary. It’s one of the ways he protects, guides, shapes, and strengthens his children. And a child who is lovingly disciplined knows something important: they are deeply loved. God’s discipline works the same way. It’s not punishment, it’s proof that we belong to Him.

Proverbs 23:24
The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.

Usually one of the proudest days in a father’s life is watching his child walk across the stage to receive their diploma. It’s a powerful moment, the result of years of love, encouragement, and support. It’s the moment when all the effort feels worth it, and you finally get to celebrate with joy as you see the fruit of that season.
