Trading with Jesus

Trading with Jesus

by Corey Robinson

The God Who Keeps His Word

Let me ask you something. Have you ever had someone make you a promise… and they didn’t keep it? Maybe they meant well. Maybe circumstances changed. Or maybe they simply couldn’t follow through. And if we’re honest, we’ve probably done the same thing. We’ve made promises we intended to keep, but life happened, weakness showed up, and we fell short. That’s the reality of humanity. Human faithfulness is inconsistent.

Casting the Weight

Today’s devotional comes from 1 Peter 5:7, which says: “Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”

The First Test

Yesterday we talked about the full story of Matthew 4:1–11, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness. But today we’re going to slow down and take a deeper look at the first part of that passage — Matthew 4:1–4.

No Short Cuts

It’s Monday. New week. Clean slate. New opportunities—not just in the market, but in how we show up. Before we open the charts, let’s look at Matthew 4:1-11, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness.

Private Faith, Public Discipline

Today we’re in Matthew 6:5–18, where Jesus talks about prayer, forgiveness, and fasting. But the deeper message in this passage is really about the condition of the heart.

The Story Doesn’t End in Loss

Today is Saturday. Markets are closed, charts are quiet, and it’s the perfect time to zoom out and remember the bigger picture. Today’s devotional comes from Revelation 22, the final chapter of the entire Bible. And it gives us one of the most powerful promises in Scripture: Jesus is coming back.

Trading Under the Throne

Today we’re stepping into one of the most powerful scenes in the entire Bible — Revelation 5. And this chapter reminds us of something every trader needs to hear.

Faith That Shows Up

Today we’re in 1 John 3, and the message is simple but powerful: live well, love well. John reminds us that if we belong to Christ, we are called children of God. That’s our identity. Not defined by our job, not defined by our account balance, not defined by a green day or a red day. Our identity is in Christ.

Trust the Timing

Today we’re in 2 Peter 3, and the theme is something every trader struggles with at some point: timing. Peter explains that people were mocking the promise that Jesus would return. They were basically saying, “Everything looks the same. Nothing is changing. Where is God?” And Peter responds with something powerful. He says with the Lord, a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day. In other words, God’s timing does not operate on our clock.

Living Hope in a Volatile Market

Today we’re talking about something deeper than setups, deeper than bias, deeper than P&L. We’re talking about living hope. 1 Peter 1 says we’ve been born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not a dead hope. Not a fragile hope. A living one.
