Your Daily Light Devotional

Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (NIV)

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (NRSV)

Lazy people always want things but never get them. Those who work hard get plenty.

People who tell secrets about others cannot be trusted. Those who can be trusted keep quiet.

In whatever you do, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble, and honour others more than yourselves. Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too.
