Revived by His Word

Daily Bread from the Word

Daily devotions that walk through the Bible one chapter at a time, with the Scripture text, a Bible-based devotional reading, a hymn to sing, and the voices of readers from around the world.

About the devotional

One chapter, one day, one conversation

Revived by His Word follows the daily reading plan of the “Believe His Prophets” program of the Revival & Reformation ministry, which reads through the Bible one chapter a day. Each day of that plan comes with a short commentary and an online discussion where readers around the world share what the chapter meant to them.

This Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) devotional gathers those days into daily devotions. For every chapter, the commentary is retold as a fuller devotion, the most helpful reader insights are woven into a single reflection, and the reading is framed with prayer and song. Every commentary author and every reader whose ideas shaped a reflection is credited by name.

Use it for your own daily Bible reading, for family worship, or as worship ideas and devotion ideas for a Sabbath School class or small group.

This is an independent devotional project. It follows the “Believe His Prophets” reading plan but is not produced or endorsed by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The devotions are free to read, one chapter a day.

What each day includes

  1. IllustrationAn original painting of the chapter’s story.
  2. Opening prayerA short prayer to begin.
  3. Opening hymnA public-domain hymn with sheet music and a sing-along video.
  4. ScriptureThe full text of the chapter.
  5. CommentaryA devotional reading built on the day’s commentary, with the author credited.
  6. ReflectionInsights from the reader discussion, with quotations from Ellen G. White where readers shared them.
  7. QuestionOne question to carry into the day.
  8. Closing prayerA prayer drawn from the day’s themes.

Every chapter page has a Listen button that reads the devotion aloud using your device’s voice.
