AI-narrated recordings
The publishers barred ministries from recording the devotionals and posting them on YouTube, which left us without audio.
Other ministries chose to narrate devotionals generated by AI. We built a process in which AI only reads each devotional's real text, without changing anything. It may still make a few mistakes, and these recordings are not posted on YouTube.
Producing them every day is costly. Thank you for your support and patience.

Verse:For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. —James 1:20, KJV
Everywhere I turn it seems I find angry people.
I go to work, angry people. I head to the supermarket, angry people. I make my way to the bank, angry people. I listen to the news, angry people.
I go to church, where we meet with God and should have the spirit of peace more than anywhere else, and what do I find? Angry people.
This anger is so pervasive that it presses in on us from every corner, leaving me to wonder whether I am also exhibiting this undesirable attribute.
By God’s grace I cannot allow the spirit of anger that is floating around to invade and destroy me. So what am I to do, and where should I turn for help to combat the spirit of anger? How do I stand firm with my feet planted on solid ground? I do not know about you, my friend, but I go to the Rock. Jesus is the Rock of my salvation.
He is the solid Rock on which I can safely stand.
He is my shelter, and when I need a friend, He is the Rock to which I cling. To find Him I reach for my Bible, which is the true and living Word of God. Within those pages I find precious promises that give peace in the midst of anger.
I discover a calm that sustains me through the storms of life and gives me hope in times of despair. God’s Word has the power to lift our hearts and fill our lives with joy. It gives light to our darkness and shows us where to walk in safe paths.
Through His Word God envelops us in His loving care. When I spend time with Jesus, I find myself renewed, strengthened, and filled with the power of His Spirit that enables me to stand in the arena of anger without being harmed, without being consumed. This is because I know that it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6, KJV). I claim the promise that “no weapon that is formed against [me] shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against [me] in judgment [I] shalt condemn” (Isaiah 54:17, KJV). Therefore each day I go out, having my waist “girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and [my] feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace” (Ephesians 6:14, 15, KJV). Where there is anger I now find peace, gladness, and laughter.
I continue to rest and hope in Christ Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. He is the only remedy for angry people in an angry world.
