Welcome and Encouragement 

Welcome to February!

As you enter this new month, you may be facing uncertainty, loneliness, fear, or storms within your heart. Whatever lies before you, remember this: you are not facing it alone.

This month’s reading journey centers on one of God’s most tender promises:

“I will be with thee.”

We will explore this promise through four comforting stages:

• God’s Presence in the Exodus and the Wilderness (February 1–8): We will see Jacob wrestling at Peniel in Genesis 32, Moses being called from the burning bush in Exodus 3, and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea in Exodus 14. We will also meet Elijah at the point of complete exhaustion and despair. As he rests beneath the juniper tree and later hides in a cave, God gently restores him through food, rest, and a still small voice.

• Refuge and the Secret Place of the Most High (February 9–17): We will read nine beloved Psalms of comfort. We will move from the declaration, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” in Psalm 46, to the promise that the one who dwells “in the secret place of the most High” shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty in Psalm 91. In Psalm 139, we will be reminded that God saw us even when we were being formed in secret.

• Fear Thou Not—A Love Engraved upon God’s Hands (February 18–25): We will enter the tender promises of Isaiah 41, 43, and 49, including, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee.” We will hear Jesus promise, “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world,” and receive the assurance of Hebrews 13: “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

• An Honest Search for God in Suffering (February 26–28): At the end of the month, we will begin the first three chapters of Job. These readings invite us to face life’s sudden losses, unanswered questions, and deep emotional pain honestly. We will begin to see how God remains present with souls that have experienced profound trauma and grief.

Bring your anxiety and loneliness to God this month. Slowly receive the tenderness of the One who will never abandon you and whose presence remains with you through every season.

This Month’s Reading Focus 

Featured Themes for February:

• Comfort through a Still Small Voice: Discover how God cares for a wounded and exhausted heart through food, rest, gentle attention, and a quiet voice rather than condemnation, as seen in 1 Kings 19.

• A Love Engraved upon God’s Hands: Receive the depth of God’s love through His promise: “Can a woman forget her sucking child…? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee,” in Isaiah 49.

• A Very Present Help: Experience God as your rock, refuge, shelter, and secret place. Learn to rest in His protection and find peace within life’s storms through Psalms 46 and 91.

Devotional Tips 

💡 Suggestions for Your February Devotional Journey:

1. Recognize the value of nourishment and rest:
   As you read 1 Kings 19 on February 8, notice how God responds to Elijah’s exhaustion. He does not begin by rebuking Elijah for his weakness. Instead, He first gives him food, water, and sleep. Caring for your physical body can also be an important part of your spiritual life.

2. Memorize one comforting promise:
   Choose one verse that speaks comfort to your heart, such as Isaiah 41:10 or Psalm 121:5. Write it on a card or sticky note and place it somewhere you will see every day.

3. Accept your inner weakness:
   As you begin reading Job at the end of the month, do not rush to find a simple spiritual answer for every painful question. Give yourself permission to bring your grief, confusion, disappointment, and doubts honestly before God.
