Todays verse is Psalm 118:24
“This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
I begin with a Happy New Year!
God wrapped this day in fresh mercy and placed it gently at your doorstep. It is His gift, never to be repeated. After the 12 AM tonight, no one will speak of 2025 in the present tense again.
Three years ago, I went searching for a way to begin each morning with a thought from God’s Word. Not a long sermon, not a heavy lesson, but a thought. One just brief enough to read, strong enough to lift the heart toward God. That search became the seed of what we now call Daywords.
Some of you tell me you’re “behind.” You can’t fall behind Each day is just a thought. These notes aren’t assignments; they’re invitations. Listen one at a time or several at once. Use the note for what it is—a chance to remember God.
About 150 of us share this little journey. Your kindness has encouraged me more than you know. Beginning today I will send the brief note Monday thru Friday. On Saturday I will send either a brief devotional or a short Bible thought. On Sunday we will take a “catch up” day and send nothing.
In the coming year, we’ll begin a new series: “Why We.” Why we worship. Why we pray. Why we forgive. Tomorrow is “Why we read the Bible.”
See you in 2026.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Good morning Lonnie,
My mother in law, Ellen, sends me these notes of encouragement at times and they really have helped during my most difficult moments. This past September, I lost my mother after a difficult battle with cancer. She was my remaining parent as I lost my daddy shortly after my son was born.
I don’t know what the future holds but I know that God holds the future and me in his hands.
Thank you again for your encouraging words! Please add me to your list of daily words.
Thanks for your word of encouragement. It’s things like that that keep me going on. I’m glad I could help.
I’m so glad I could be of some help during those difficult moments. Thanks for your words of encouragement.
Happy New Year!
