Insight for Today

Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.

True Freedom

Date:

Knowing where you stand before the Lord leads to true freedom. Being free before the Lord, you will become confident, and that is genuine security.

Principles versus Precepts

Date:

When it comes to the spiritual life, those who are after God in their hearts care as much about the principles as they do about the precepts.

God Cares

Date:

When we begin to care about the things God cares about, we become people after His heart, and only then do we begin to have real freedom and real happiness.

From Fugitive to Monarch

Date:

Our tendency is to race in when there is some benefit that will come our way. Sometimes it's best to begin very quietly, to pace our first steps with great care.

Take Control

Date:

It is time to say, "Lord, don't change sides, just take over." We do, indeed, come before our Lord like sheep, not asking Him to take sides, but just to take control.

Your Epitaph

Date:

What do you think those who survive you will write as your epitaph? How will your obituary read? What words will be used in the eulogy to sum up your life?

He'll Handle It

Date:

There is no impossible situation that God cannot handle. He won't handle it necessarily your way, but He'll handle it.

Critical Decisions

Date:

Often when we are faced with a crisis, the standard, garden-variety answer is to sort of tuck your tail between your legs, run into a corner, and let cobwebs form on you. But there is a better way.
