OUR DAILY BREAD DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
Our Daily Bread for today is here. Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:11).
The word of God is food to the spirit man. “Eat and digest” the word of the Lord for today and let its unchanging power nuture your faith and help in your daily walk to Christ.
The Topic of Our Daily Bread For 23rd July 2025 is “Led by the Holy Spirit”
Bible in a Year: Psalms 33-34; Acts 24
Memory Verse: John 14:26
The Holy Spirit . . . will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Today’s Scripture & Insight: John 14:15-26
Jesus insisted that in His departure from earth (John 14:1-14) He wouldn’t abandon His disciples. He promised, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you” (v. 18). Christ could leave without abandoning His people because He’d return to be with them through His Spirit. The Spirit would unite believers to Jesus and draw them into the life of the triune God: “On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (v. 20). The Holy Spirit continues to lead and unite believers in Jesus today.

ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
When the navigation app suggested a route that would cut almost an hour off their long drive, Shelby Easler and her brother followed the alternate directions. However, the ‘shortcut’ led them along a dirt path for hours that left them stranded in the middle of a field. They were able to reverse course, but they eventually had to be towed because of all the damage to their car from the rough terrain. The app developer apologised to the numerous travellers who followed those wrong directions.
It’s important who we rely on for guidance. As believers in Jesus, we’ve been given the Holy Spirt to lead and direct us in matters of truth.
When Jesus knew that He’d soon die and be taken from His disciples, He assured them He wouldn’t leave them stranded. He urged His disciples to obey His commands and spoke of the promised Holy Spirit, or the Spirit of truth, who would be with them forever and live inside of them (John 14:15-17). “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (v. 26).
Let’s continue to follow the Holy Spirit’s prompting as we go throughout our day. We know He’ll never lead us astray.
