April 8 (Matthew 28:5)

He has risen. (NIV)

He has risen, and so I live. He has risen, and so I can face my fears. He has risen, and so I stand against the challenges, temptations, and pain in life. He has risen, and so I have confidence for the future. He has risen, and so I can love. He has risen, and so I know the truth. He has risen, and so I can forget myself. He has risen, and so I can restore relationships. He has risen, and so I stand in the winds of doubt. He has risen, and so I give and do not need to receive. He has risen, and so I receive all I need. He has risen, and so I fall to my knees. He has risen, and so I am healed. He has risen, and so I know love. He has risen, and so I am forgiven. He has risen, and so I am forgiven. He has risen, and so I am forgiven.

Glory to God in the highest, for Christ my Savior, in Whom I live and move and have my being, has risen today.

History of Online Devotions

In January of 1999, I began the Online Devotions with the teens of the church we were attending. Each week they would receive a verse of Scripture, a short reflection, and a prayer. Over the years others subscribed to this email list, and soon the Online Devotions were going out to people across the country and beyond.

In 2007 I published in book format a collection called Desert Days: Forty Devotions for Men.

After suggestions from several readers, I launched in 2010 the Online Devotions blog. Devotions are still available each week by email, and if you would like to subscribe, please indicate so in the comment box.

As I have always said, if one of these devotions touches you, you can be sure it was from God. If one leaves you flat, then there was too much of me in it.
