In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall explores Jacob’s blessings over his sons and what they reveal about leadership and character.
He highlights two key lessons: first, an unruly spirit, like Reuben’s, destroys the potential for future leadership—discipline and self-control are essential for promotion. Second, violent and angry people, like Simeon and Levi, must be scattered, as grouping them together only amplifies harm. Yet, in God’s mercy, even those scattered can be used for His purposes.

Joseph shows that economic crises follow a pattern: first, cash disappears; then, assets that cost money to maintain are sold; finally, land begins to transfer hands. Those who retain liquidity and act wisely at the right time can acquire what others must let go.

Wisdom is not just knowing truth—it is living it. When someone has genuinely learned, it shows in two ways: discernment in their decisions and the words they speak. As truth becomes part of the heart and lifestyle, it naturally flows from the mouth.
This reminds us that teaching and mentoring are successful when the principles we share are repeated and lived out by others.

In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall looks beyond Joseph’s promotion to reveal a lesser-seen reality of his life in Egypt.
Though Joseph held great authority and wealth, his life was not easy. Scripture shows that he endured daily prejudice and exclusion because of his identity as a Hebrew. His success did not spare him from bigotry, envy, or resentment.
This devotion challenges us to see success clearly. God’s blessing does not remove hardship, and promotion does not eliminate opposition. Prosperity often comes with pressu...

n this Daily Devotions episode, Pastor David Sumrall draws a leadership principle from the life of Joseph.
When Joseph was promoted to govern all of Egypt, his authority was publicly established. Yet he did not begin by celebrating or issuing orders. His first action was to inspect the land and understand what had been placed under his responsibility.
Before leading, we must learn. True leadership begins with understanding what we have been entrusted with.

But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.”

Sumrall PodcastDaily Devotions: Learning the Difference Between Explaining and Proclaiming - October 20, 20251 Timothy 4:6 (NLT) – “If you explain these things to the brothers and sisters, Timothy, you will be a worthy servant of Christ Jesus, one who is nourished by the message of faith and the good teaching you have followed.”
In today’s Daily Devotion, Pastor Sumrall reminds leaders that true ministry is not just about proclaiming truth, it’s about explaining it. The Apostle Paul urged Timothy not merely to declare what is right but to help believers understand how to live it out.
Too often, leaders shout commands like “Be holy!” or “Have faith!” without teaching...
2025-10-2003 minPastor David E. Sumrall PodcastDaily Devotions: Love Flows From Three Rivers - October 17, 20251 Timothy 1:5 (ESV) – “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”
In this teaching, Pastor Sumrall shares how true love isn’t something we just talk about—it’s something that flows from the right source. Like rivers joining to form something greater, love flows from three streams in the believer’s heart: a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a genuine faith. When we walk in holiness, keep our conscience tender before God, and live out real faith—not imitation or performance—then genuine love n...

For some have already strayed after Satan.”
In this passage, Paul reminds believers that the way we live can either give the enemy room to slander us—or take that opportunity away. satan looks for chances to twist truth and spread lies, so it’s important to live wisely, avoiding even the appearance of wrongdoing. As Pastor Sumrall shares, many have been destroyed by false accusations rather than by truth itself, so guarding our reputati...

In this passage, Paul warns that some will turn from genuine faith to follow deception. Pastor David Sumrall reminds us that this decline doesn’t happen overnight—it starts with small compromises. When ministers or believers begin acting instead of serving sincerely, speaking lies instead of truth, silencing their conscience, and controlling others through legalism, they start walking down what he calls...
2025-10-1503 minPastor David E. Sumrall PodcastDaily Devotions: Baby Christians - October 14, 20251 Timothy 3:6 (ESV) – “He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil.”
This verse reminds us that spiritual maturity takes time. Paul teaches that new believers—no matter how gifted or influential—need a season to grow before taking on leadership or ministry roles. Rushing into responsibility too soon can lead to pride and unnecessary hardship.
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we learn that God isn’t in a hurry to use people; He’s committed to growing them...

In this passage, we learn that excitement and passion alone are not enough. God values zeal that is guided by wisdom and understanding. When we rush ahead without learning first, we often make choices that lead us off course.
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we’re reminded of the importance of pairing enthusiasm with knowledge. Especially for young believers, it’s a call to slow down, seek God’s wisdom, and let...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we hear Pastor teach that marriage is one of God’s greatest blessings. When a man finds a wife, he not only receives God’s favor but also discovers a treasure of great worth. A treasure isn’t something we treat casually—it’s something we value, protect, and care for deeply.
Gentlemen, your wife is far more precious than gold or any earthly possession. Cherish her, honor her, and...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, he points out that we need to hold firmly to sound doctrine. Paul warns believers not to be swayed by false teachings or the “secret power of lawlessness” that is already at work in the world. In a time when many are easily drawn to trends, hype, or the illusion of success, God calls us to st...

Not all words are worth listening to. Some conversations build us up, while others quietly tear relationships apart. Proverbs warns that gossip—those “dainty morsels” of rumor—sinks deep into our hearts, shaping how we think and feel about others. It may seem harmless at first, but gossip plants seeds of strife and can even separate close friends.

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, teaches us the promise that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength (Isaiah 40), showing how God Himself is at work while we wait. Waiting on the Lord is never wasted time. He is not asleep, distracted, or too busy; He is actively working on behalf of His people.

I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them.”
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we are reminded when persecution comes, God does not leave His people to suffer alone. Just as Jesus told Saul, “Why do you persecute Me?” (Acts 9:4), we learn that when the church suffers, Christ Himself suffers with us. In Isaiah, God reminds His people: “In all their suffering, He also suffered… He personally rescued them” (Isaiah 63:9).

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we learn an important leadership truth: it is not our job to convict people of sin or convince them of truth—that work belongs to the Holy Spirit and to God Himself.
Paul reminds us that people can be swayed by persuasive words, deceived by well-crafted arguments, or caught up in empty philosophies. But real convict...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we are reminded that while some leaders may disappoint, there are faithful pastors and servants of God who truly deserve honor. Paul commends Epaphroditus as a true brother, coworker, fellow soldier, and messenger who loved God’s people and risked his life for the work of Christ.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.”
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we are reminded that the way we choose to live shapes the outcome of our lives. God calls us to trust Him as our light and provider instead of relying on our own strength or wisdom. When we walk in His Word and obey Him, His blessing t...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we see five beautiful principles of God’s leadership. He restrains His anger for the sake of His name, rescues His people for His own reputation, teaches what is truly good for us, and leads us on paths that bring life. Even when we feel like our labor is wasted, He reminds us to place everyth...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we look at a recurring phrase in the book of Isaiah: “what sorrow.” Again and again, God warns His people of the sorrow that comes from pride, rebellion, compromise, and misplaced trust. From hoarding possessions to calling evil good, from hiding sin to arguing with our Creator, these choices only lead to sadness and dest...

Tell her that her sad days are gone and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the Lord has punished her twice over for all her sins.”
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall from Cathedral of Praise, we are reminded that seasons of sin are not good days—they are sad days. But when repentance comes, the message of God is not judgment or condemnation, but comfort and tenderness.
God instructs us to speak with compassion to the repentant: “Comf...

He also took them to see his armory and showed them everything in his royal treasuries. There was nothing in his palace or kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.”
In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we learn the dangers of pride and “showing off.” What starts as an innocent desire to be noticed—like a child saying, “Look at me!”—can turn destructive when motivated by pride instead of love...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall from Cathedral of Praise, we are reminded that true security comes only from trusting in God, not in human strength, resources, or connections.

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall from Cathedral of Praise, we see two clear attitudes of a rebellious heart. First, rebellion tries to hide in secrecy, convincing itself that God doesn’t see or care. Second, rebellion refuses to listen to God’s Word, choosing only what is comfortable and agreeable instead of truth.

Paul reminds us to “keep in step with the Spirit,” following His lead in each decision we make.
Rather than worrying about tomorrow, we can obey what the Spirit shows us today. As we do, we’ll find ourselv...

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall from Cathedral of Praise, we are reminded that those born of the Spirit will always face persecution from those who only have religion.

In today’s Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall from Cathedral of Praise, we learn how true revival begins—not with the majority, but with a faithful remnant. Throughout Scripture, God has always preserved a people who love Him wholeheartedly, refuse to compromise, and seek His presence above all else.
Revival starts when this remnant takes root below—fasting, praying, and going deep in their relationship with God. As we dig into His W...

David carefully set aside two kinds of resources: one treasury for daily needs and another treasury of dedicated things—gold, silver, and bronze saved for the future work of God. Decades later, Solomon was able to build the magnificent temple because David and Israel’s leaders had been setting aside these treasures over many years. Pastor Sumrall enc...
