1 Samuel 3:9–10 (NLT) - So Eli said to Samuel, “Go and lie down again, and if someone calls again, say, ‘Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.'” So Samuel went back to bed. And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.” Psalm 27:8 (NLT) - My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” One of the greatest challenges in prayer is learning that it is not a one-way conversation. We often do all the talking and leave no space to listen. Prayer was never meant to be a monologue. In the First Book of Samuel, young Samuel learned this early. When God called him, Eli taught him how to respond: “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.” Samuel did not argue, rush, or fill the silence. He listened. The same truth appears in the Book of Psalms. God invites, “Come and talk with me,” and David responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Notice the wording. Talk with me. Prayer begins when God speaks and we respond. Some of the best moments in prayer happen when God initiates. When His voice stirs your heart, do not ignore it. Respond. Listen. That is where clarity, direction, and understanding are found. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Mark 10:1 (NLT) - “Then Jesus left Capernaum and went down to the region of Judea and into the area east of the Jordan River. Once again crowds gathered around him, and as usual he was teaching them.” Mark 6:34 (NLT) - “Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.” Have you ever noticed that one of the most common titles given to Jesus in Scripture is Rabbi or Rabboni, meaning Teacher? People did not primarily call Him Healer or Miracle Worker. They called Him Teacher because that is what He spent most of His time doing. As we see throughout the Book of Mark, Jesus' usual response to crowds was teaching. He understood something often forgotten today: if you truly want to help people, you teach them. You do not control them, make decisions for them, or simply entertain them. Teaching equips people to live. When Jesus saw the crowds and felt compassion, His compassion took a clear form. He taught them. Jesus was not into small talk or simply “hanging out.” When He opened His mouth, He had something meaningful to say. That is why people called Him Teacher. He cared for people by teaching them truth that could change their lives. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Leviticus 18:1–5 (NLT) - “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Give these instructions to the people of Israel: I am the LORD your God. So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life.'” Who you choose to imitate will shape who you become. Scripture is clear: “Bad company corrupts good character” (1 Corinthians 15:33). The people we spend time with slowly set the patterns of our lives. God told Israel not to live like the Egyptians they left or the Canaanites they were entering. They were called to be different. That principle has never changed. As believers, we are not meant to copy the world and simply “Christianize” it. We are called to reflect heaven. The Bible tells us to imitate godly leaders as they imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1; Hebrews 13:7). David understood this when he said he refused to walk with the wicked or join those who do evil (Psalm 26:4–5). Show me who you walk with, and I will show you your future. Choose godly influences. Follow Christ. Let His life set the pattern for yours. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Proverbs 10:29 (NLT) “The way of the LORD is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked.” Grace is often misunderstood. True grace does not excuse ungodly living. Scripture teaches that grace helps us say no to sin, not ignore it. At the same time, the consequences of sin are not how we make things right. Jesus already paid for sin at the cross. God's ways are a place of protection for those who walk in integrity. Proverbs 10:9 says, “People with integrity walk safely,” while those who choose crooked paths will eventually be exposed. God's protection is not for those who live dishonestly and then ask Him to cover it. David understood this when he prayed, “May integrity and honesty protect me” (Psalm 25:21). Integrity is not perfection, but sincerity and transparency before God. Grace empowers a right lifestyle. Integrity and honesty are where God's protection is found. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Psalm 25:8–13 (NLT) “The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. For the honor of your name, O LORD, forgive my many, many sins. Who are those who fear the LORD? He will show them the path they should choose. They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.” This passage shows how closely God's guidance and provision are connected. The Lord does not abandon people when they go the wrong way. Instead, He shows the proper path. This is grace at work. When a person is willing to admit they are drifting, God steps in with direction. The psalm also teaches that humility matters. God leads the humble in doing right and teaches them His way. Guidance is not just about knowing where to go, but about learning how to live rightly. Those who respect the Lord are promised clarity in decision-making. “He will show them the path they should choose.” The result of this guidance is stated plainly. “They will live in prosperity, and their children will inherit the land.” Prosperity does not look the same in every season or every life. It can look different at different stages, but it always reflects God's care, provision, and purpose. When people accept God's guidance, walk humbly, and live with reverence toward Him, their lives and their families experience the fruit of His direction. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Proverbs 10:15–16 (NLT) “The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction. The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall addresses a common misunderstanding about money. Poverty is often treated as virtuous and prosperity as sinful, but Scripture says otherwise. Proverbs is clear: poverty destroys, while wealth can serve as protection. Lack brings hunger, sickness, and hardship. Provision brings shelter, food, medicine, and stability for a family. The Bible also teaches that prosperity itself is neither righteous nor sinful. What matters is the heart behind it and how it is used. Scripture warns against loving money, not against having it. When money is devoted to God and used rightly, “the earnings of the godly enhance their lives.” When misused, it is wasted on sin. Prosperity, handled with the right attitude, is not something to be ashamed of. It is meant to build, protect, and strengthen life, not destroy it. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Mark 6:30–34, 45–46 (NLT) “The apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour and told him all they had done and taught. Then Jesus said, ‘Let's go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest a while.' He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn't even have time to eat. So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone. But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them. Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home. After telling everyone goodbye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall looks at a full, demanding day in the life of Jesus. The crowds pressed in so closely that there was not even time to eat. When Jesus tried to withdraw with the disciples to rest, the people followed Him anyway. He did not turn them away. He welcomed them, taught them, and cared for them. Yet notice this clearly. Jesus encouraged His disciples to rest, but when rest was interrupted, He did not give up prayer. After sending everyone home, He went alone into the hills to pray. Rest may be delayed, but time with the Father was never set aside. If your life feels crowded and noisy, take this to heart. Real renewal is found in quiet places, and deepest strength is restored in prayer. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Leviticus 10:1–2, 16–20 (ESV) “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. … Now Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the surviving sons of Aaron, saying, ‘Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is a thing most holy and has been given to you that you may bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?' And Aaron said to Moses, ‘Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the Lord have approved?' And when Moses heard that, he approved.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall draws our attention to an important leadership lesson from Leviticus. God's commands matter deeply, especially to those who serve near His presence. When Nadab and Abihu disregarded what the Lord had instructed, the consequences were immediate and severe, showing that closeness to God carries responsibility. Later in the chapter, Moses confronted Aaron and his remaining sons over another concern. This time, Moses asked questions and listened carefully to Aaron's explanation. Aaron's actions were shaped by grief and circumstance, not defiance. When Moses heard the explanation, he accepted it. This passage shows us that wise leadership holds firmly to God's instructions while also listening carefully when there is a reasonable explanation. Leaders must care deeply about obedience, but they must also be willing to hear the heart behind a situation. Leviticus reminds us that discernment, humility, and listening are essential in leadership within the Bible and Church life at Cathedral of Praise and beyond, as taught through Daily Devotions with David Sumrall. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Leviticus 8:1–2 (NLT) “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Bring Aaron and his sons, along with their sacred garments and anointing oil, the bull for the sin offering, the two rams, and the basket of bread made without yeast.'” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall continues our time in Leviticus and points out why Scripture repeatedly emphasizes offerings made without yeast. When the Bible repeats something, it is because God wants His people to understand it clearly. Throughout Leviticus, yeast is excluded from offerings because it represents sin and exaggeration. Yeast makes something appear larger than it really is. In the same way, an offering must never pretend to be something it is not. God is not honored by gifts connected to wrongdoing, corruption, or dishonesty. An offering is meant to be given with sincerity and truth. The Lord was teaching Israel that worship cannot be separated from how we live. What we bring before Him should not be mixed with sin. Giving does not cover up wrongdoing, and money never replaces obedience. An offering is an expression of honor, not a way to excuse what God has already said is wrong. Leviticus reminds us that when we bring something to the Lord, it should be clean, honest, and given with a clear heart. Worship is not about appearance. It is about integrity before God. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Leviticus 7:12, 21, 28–30, 38 (NLT) “If you present a peace offering to the Lord as an expression of thanksgiving… anyone who touches the meat from the peace offering presented to the Lord while ceremonially unclean must be cut off from the community… Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: When you present a peace offering to the Lord, bring part of it as a gift to the Lord. Present it to the Lord with your own hands as a special gift… These are the instructions the Lord gave Moses on Mount Sinai when he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall draws our attention to a simple but often-missed instruction from Leviticus 7. Again and again, the Lord tells His people to present their offerings. Not to send them. Not to pass them along through someone else. To bring them personally and place them before the Lord with their own hands. An offering was never treated as a transaction. It was an act of honor. It was worship. God was teaching His people that approaching Him mattered, that showing up mattered, and that giving was personal. The act of bringing the offering placed the worshiper before God in humility and gratitude. These verses remind us that giving is not meant to be distant or automatic. It is meant to be intentional. When God's people came with their own hands, they were declaring, “Lord, I am here, and this is for You.” Leviticus teaches us that offerings are about relationship. We do not bring them because God needs them. We bring them because honoring God matters, and worship is never meant to be impersonal. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Leviticus 5:5–11 (ESV) “When you become aware of your guilt in any of these ways, you must confess your sin. Then you must bring to the Lord as a penalty for your sin a female from the flock, either sheep or goat. But if you cannot afford a sheep, you may bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. If you cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, you may bring two quarts of choice flour for your sin offering.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on what Leviticus teaches about offerings. God provides a way for everyone to give, regardless of their resources. Whether a sheep, two birds, or a small amount of flour, the emphasis is on the heart and the desire to honor God, not the size or value of the gift. This passage reminds us that generosity is measured by intention, effort, and faith, not by wealth. In Church life today, believers are encouraged to give what they can, trusting that God values the heart behind the offering. Giving as an act of worship is accessible to all. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Leviticus 1:3 (ESV) “If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall bring it to the entrance of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on what the book of Leviticus teaches us about offerings given to God. The Lord instructed His people to bring their offerings personally, to offer what was without defect, and to give with care and intention. These offerings were acts of worship, not matters of convenience, and they were to reflect honor, sincerity, and devotion to God. This passage reminds us that what we bring before the Lord matters. God looks at the heart, the effort, and the faith behind what is offered. In Church life today, this truth calls us to approach God thoughtfully and with respect, remembering His faithfulness and responding with loyalty and gratitude, encouraging believers to honor God with intention and reverence. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 39:32, 43 (ESV) “Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did.” “And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded; so had they done it. Then Moses blessed them.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall points us to a clear picture of accountability in the work of God. After completing the tabernacle, the people did not resist inspection or take offense at review. Instead, they willingly brought their work to Moses and invited him to examine everything, confident they had followed the Lord's instructions. This passage shows that healthy leadership welcomes accountability and careful review. When work is done with integrity, inspection becomes a blessing, not a threat. In Bible and Church life today, this example teaches us that obedience, transparency, and a teachable spirit bring joy to leaders and blessing from God. This Daily Devotions message from Pastor Sumrall at Cathedral of Praise reminds us that accountability done God's way leads to affirmation and favor. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Mark 1:21–26 (ESV) “And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, ‘What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.' But Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silent, and come out of him!' And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall shows a moment in Capernaum where even a demon recognized who Jesus truly was. As Jesus taught with rightful authority, the powers of darkness were exposed and disrupted. The unclean spirit knew that Jesus interfered with its work, had authority over its future, and was the Holy One of God. This passage reminds us that whenever Jesus is proclaimed, darkness is never comfortable. Truth confronts deception, and authority confronts bondage. In life today, the same Jesus still brings freedom, still interrupts what holds people captive, and still stands as the Holy One whom all must answer to. This Daily Devotions shows us who Jesus is and why His presence always changes everything. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Exodus 35:30–35 (ESV) “Then Moses said to the people of Israel, ‘See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.'” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches us a truth that is often overlooked in the book of Exodus. God not only filled Bezalel with wisdom, skill, and craftsmanship, but He also gave him the ability to teach others what God had placed in him. This passage shows that the work of the Spirit is not limited to talent alone. God gives ability, and He also gives responsibility. Those who are gifted are called to pass those gifts on, raising others to serve well and work with excellence. This Daily Devotions teaching from Pastor Sumrall speaks directly to Church life today. When God entrusts us with skill and understanding, He also calls us to invest in the next generation and teach others what He has taught us. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 34:1–3 (ESV) “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain. No one shall come up with you, and let no one be seen throughout all the mountain. Let no flocks or herds graze opposite that mountain.'” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on Exodus 33 and 34 and focuses on God's instruction to Moses to “present yourself to Me.” After failure, delay, and disappointment, the Lord did not reject Moses. Instead, He called him back into His presence with accountability and purpose. This passage shows us that leadership begins and is sustained in personal time before God. Moses was required to come alone, prepared, and ready to stand before the Lord. The same pattern is seen throughout Scripture, where leaders regularly return to God to give an account of what they have done and taught. This devotional from Daily Devotions at Cathedral of Praise encourages pastors, leaders, and servants in the church to regularly present themselves before God, not for performance, but for faithfulness. In Bible teaching and Church life, lasting leadership is shaped in moments of surrender and obedience before the Lord. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 173-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 31,956 on turnover of $10.4-billion N-T. Cross-border effort leads to Taiwan fugitive's arrest in Philippines A 33-year-old Taiwanese fugitive has been arrested in Metro Manila following a joint operation between Philippine and Taiwanese authorities. The suspect, surnamed Chien (簡), had been on the run since August 2023, when an arrest warrant was issued by the Miaoli (苗栗) District Prosecutors Office on theft charges. Philippine immigration officials say Chien was also classified as an “undesirable (不受歡迎的) alien” after overstaying his temporary visitor visa. He is currently being held at a detention facility pending deportation. Since the start of 2025, officials have successfully tracked down and arrested 22 wanted Taiwanese fugitives in the Philippines through intelligence sharing and other forms of cooperation.

Japan PM Party Secures Supermajority Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's governing party has secured a two-thirds supermajority in a parliamentary election. Takaichi told public broadcaster NHK later that she is ready to pursue (實行) policies to make Japan strong and prosperous. TV networks cited preliminary results from Sunday's vote in reporting that Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner won 352 seats in the 465-seat lower house. The huge jump from the previous parliament could allow Takaichi to make progress on a right-wing agenda that aims to boost Japan's economy and military capabilities as tensions grow with China and she tries to nurture ties with Washington.

Exodus 32:1–2, 25 (ESV) “When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, ‘Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' … And when Moses saw that the people had broken loose (for Aaron had let them break loose, to the derision of their enemies)… In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches from Exodus 32 and highlights the difference between weak leadership and strong leadership. When Moses was delayed on the mountain, Aaron responded to pressure instead of holding to what God had said. By giving the people what they wanted, he allowed confusion and disorder to take over. The result was not only idolatry, but public shame as Israel became a source of ridicule to those watching from the outside. When Moses returned, strong leadership had to step in to restore order and deal with the consequences of compromise. This passage reminds us that leadership is not about pleasing people or avoiding conflict. Whether in the home, the church, or any place of responsibility, God calls leaders to follow Him and lead others toward what is right, even when it is difficult. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 29:44–46 (NLT) “Yes, I will consecrate the Tabernacle and the altar, and I will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests. Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God. And they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.” In this Old Testament devotional from Exodus 29, we see a beautiful and consistent truth about God's heart: God wants to be with His people. After consecrating the tabernacle, the altar, and the priests, the Lord makes His purpose unmistakably clear. He did not deliver Israel from Egypt only to give them laws or rituals. He brought them out so that He could live among them and be their God. From the Garden of Eden to the wilderness tabernacle and all the way to today, God's desire has always been fellowship with people. This truth can be hard to grasp. Why would a holy God want to dwell with imperfect people? The answer is simple. Love. Just as love is the reason two people choose to be together, love is the reason God chooses to be with us. God's presence among Israel was not accidental or temporary. It was intentional, relational, and rooted in His love. In the same way, God still desires to be with His people today. He has chosen to love us, and that love is the reason He draws near. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Exodus 28:29 (NLT) “In this way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes of Israel over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place. This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.” In this Old Testament devotional, Pastor David Sumrall points us to a powerful picture of leadership and prayer found in the priestly ministry of Aaron. God instructed that the names of the twelve tribes be carried over the priest's heart as he entered the presence of the Lord. This was not symbolic decoration. It was a constant reminder that coming before God was never about self, but about representing the people. This passage teaches us that true pastoral and spiritual prayer has no room for selfishness. Whether as pastors, parents, group leaders, or servants in any role, entering God's presence means carrying others on our hearts. Leadership before God is not about personal requests, platforms, or performance, but about standing in prayer for those entrusted to us. Even when other forms of ministry are limited, prayer remains the greatest work a leader can do. As Aaron bore the names of the people over his heart, so leaders today are called to bring the needs, burdens, and lives of others before the Father with faithfulness and love. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 25:1–2 (ESV) “The Lord said to Moses, ‘Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me.'” In this Old Testament devotional, Pastor David Sumrall shows us the powerful truths found in these two simple verses about offerings and worship. God instructs Moses, as the spiritual leader, to tell the people to bring an offering. Giving does not begin with silence or assumption, but with clear spiritual leadership that communicates God's instruction. The offering is to be brought to God, not to a person. Moses is the messenger, not the recipient. This reminds us that all giving is an act of worship directed to the Lord Himself. The offering is also described as something sacred, set apart for God's purposes, not treated like an ordinary expense or obligation. Finally, God places a clear condition on giving. The contribution is to be accepted only from those whose hearts are moved to give. True offerings are never forced or pressured. They flow from willingness and desire, not compulsion. In this way, God teaches His people that generosity is deeply spiritual, voluntary, and rooted in worship. Through this passage, we are reminded that biblical giving is about obedience, reverence, and a heart that responds freely to God. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 24:9–13 (ESV) “Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and ate and drank. The Lord said to Moses, ‘Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.' So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall draws our attention to Joshua's first encounters with the presence of God. While many leaders were invited up the mountain, Joshua is quietly identified as the one who stayed close, walking with Moses and remaining near where God was working. Long before Joshua led the nation, his heart was being shaped by time spent in God's presence rather than a desire for position. God prepares future leaders through proximity, patience, and hunger for His presence. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.

Exodus 23:4–5 (ESV) “If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall highlights a surprising call to grace found in the law of Moses. Even in practical instructions about justice and daily conduct, God teaches His people not to let hostility shape their behavior. The Lord calls His people to do what is right, even toward those who oppose them. This devotion speaks to everyday relationships, reminding believers that how others feel toward us should never determine how we respond. God's character does not change, and His people are called to reflect that same mercy and integrity. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Exodus 19:5–6 (ESV) “Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall points out a clear pattern in Scripture: God's promises often come with conditions. In Exodus, the Lord offers Israel a deep relationship and a calling to serve, but it begins with an “if” — obedience and faithfulness to His covenant. Choices and lifestyle matter after salvation. God's desire to work through His people has not changed, but walking in His promises requires honoring His boundaries. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

Psalm 18:19–24 (ESV) “He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. For all his rules were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me. I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt. So the Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reminds us that while salvation is by grace, God still honors a life that chooses to do what is right. In the Old Testament, King David speaks with confidence, not pride, recognizing that God saw his innocence in the middle of attack and brought restoration because of it. This devotion encourages believers to keep choosing what is right even when the world mocks integrity or pressures compromise. God sees, God knows, and God rewards those who walk uprightly. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E. Sumrall on Daily Devotions.
