Daily Bread: Today’s Devotional
Today’s daily bread for Saturday, October 10, 2026 is Proverbs 18:10: one Bible verse, a short devotional reflection on it, and a prayer to pray. Each day has its own reading, it is free to read, and there is nothing to sign up for.
“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Proverbs 18:10 · King James Version (public domain)
Today’s devotional: Proverbs 18:10
Picture a runner sprinting for the safety of a fortress with the danger close behind, and the fortress is not a place but a name, the name of the Lord. To trust that name is to find walls that no trouble can breach. Safety here is nearer than a building, it is a Person you can call on. Christians run into the name of Jesus, the name at which every knee will bow, and find refuge there. When the day threatens to overwhelm you, run toward Him.
A prayer for today
Father, as I carry strength today, let this word from Proverbs 18:10 be more than ink on a page. Make it true in me. Quiet what is anxious, steady what is shaking, and draw me nearer to Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
How to read your daily bread
Read the verse slowly, twice. Then read the reflection and notice the one line that stays with you. Pray the prayer in your own words, and carry the verse into the day. It takes about three minutes, and it is how many believers begin the morning: asking, as Jesus taught, for bread for this day only.
