When Love Never Ends - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Genesis 7-9; Matthew 3

The Lord watches over all who love him.
Psalm 145:20

Today's Scripture & Insight:

"Whenever my grandfather took me to the beach," Sandra reminisced, "he always took off his watch and put it away. One day I asked him why."

"He smiled and replied, ‘Because I want you to know how important my moments with you are to me. I just want to be with you and let time go by.' "

I heard Sandra share that recollection at her grandfather's funeral. It was one of her favorite memories of their life together. As I reflected on how valued it makes us feel when others take time for us, it brought to mind Scripture's words on God's loving care.

God always makes time for us. David prayed in Psalm 145, "You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near" (vv. 16-18).

God's goodness and thoughtful attention sustain our lives each moment, providing us with air to breathe and food to eat. Because He is rich in love, the Creator of all things mercifully crafts even the most intricate details of our existence.

God's love is so deep and unending that in His kindness and mercy He's even opened the way to eternal life and joy in His presence, as if to say, "I love you so much, I just want to be with you forever, and let time go by."
