Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
The Case against Vanilla
Pursue the way of Jesus. Accept His approach and live your life with abandon. Don’t be afraid of a few risks. Turn your back on those attitudes and stubborn patterns that prevent you from living a full life.
Staying Alert
We quite naturally express our love for God through our emotions—easily offering praise with our words and with the affections of our hearts. But Jesus included the command to love Him with our minds, too.
Removing Sin
What does the Lord need to do to get you to turn away from that sin that has you in its grip? Stop and think for a moment how He is blessing you and caring for your needs, despite your stubborn determination to dishonour Him.
God’s Control
It was a glorious day when I realized that nobody expected me to have all the answers...least of all God. If I could figure it all out, I’d qualify as His adviser, and Scripture makes it clear He doesn’t need my short-sighted, insignificant counsel.
Forever Discontented
That’s the whole point of greed. You’ll want more and more of something that isn’t good for you. And in the getting of it, you’ll suffer the painful consequences.
Stuck in the Past
How magnificent is grace! How sweet are the promises! How precious is God’s love! How broad is God’s mercy! How refreshing is the Lord!
Facing Failures
If you’ve blown it, don’t sweat it. Make things right today, brush off your sandals and move back out in His strength and courage. It’s not that great a leap.
A Rare and Remarkable Virtue
Facing trouble today? Maybe a long struggle with uncertainty, or confronting a seemingly impossible obstacle in your life? The Spirit is at work, forming patience in you. Don’t resist it...embrace it! Let Him lengthen your temper. You can’t, but He can.

It’s one thing to stand firm in major issues clearly set forth in Scripture. It’s another thing to pick fights over tiny jots and meaningless tittles.
