Anywhere - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Read: Jeremiah 2:1-8; 3:14-15 | Bible in a Year: 2 Samuel 12-13; Luke 16

I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the wilderness.
Jeremiah 2:2

As I flipped through a box of my old wedding photographs, my fingers stopped at a picture of my husband and me, newly christened "Mr. and Mrs." My dedication to him was obvious in my expression. I would go anywhere with him.

Nearly four decades later, our marriage is tightly threaded with love and a commitment that has carried us through both hard and good times. Year after year, I've recommitted my dedication to go anywhere with him.

Dear God, help me to keep the promises I've made to You. I will follow You anywhere.
In Jeremiah 2:2, God yearns for His beloved but wayward Israel, "I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me." The Hebrew word for devotion conveys the highest loyalty and commitment possible. At first, Israel expressed this unwavering devotion to God, but gradually she turned away.

Despite the undeniably powerful feelings in the early stages of commitment, complacency can dull the sharp edge of love and a lack of zeal can lead to unfaithfulness. We know the importance of fighting against such a lag in our marriages. What about the fervor of our love relationship with God? Are we as devoted to Him now as we were when we first came to faith?

God faithfully allows His people to return (3:14-15). Today we can renew our vows to follow Him—anywhere.

Dear God, help me to keep the promises I've made to You. I will follow You anywhere.

You don't need to know where you're going if you know God is leading.
