Today's Devotional

What is your treasure?

"Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”."
- Acts 3:6

When the apostles were walking towards the temple, they saw a man begging for alms because he was crippled and couldn't work. Faced with such a needy person, being 'empty-handed' wasn't a problem, because the apostles had something more valuable.

Evaluate your life right now, is the most valuable thing something you can hold in your hands? You see, our faith in Christ is the greatest security we can have in life, and it is our path to salvation.

They trusted in the power of Jesus' name, do you trust that Christ's name can meet your needs? Just believe, get up, and go praise the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.

Take your Stretcher and Walk

  • Pray to the Lord for renewed faith.
  • Understand that your most precious possession is spiritual, not physical.
  • Share this immaterial blessing of salvation with your neighbor.

Pray:

Lord, creator of heaven and earth, who healed that crippled man through the power of Jesus' name, I ask you to renew my faith. Help me to believe in your power to change my life. I entrust my needs to you and trust that you can help me. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

Soothing the soul

Return to your rest, my soul,

for the Lord has been good to you!

Psalm 116:7

One standout quality of David was his unwavering submission to God. The "warrior king" went through various struggles and persecutions and never hesitated to pour out his heart to God. In every moment of prayer, David truly laid his heart before God.

The king taught us how to behave in distress. In this psalm, David affirms to himself the deeds of the Lord; thus, as the king recognized God's favor, he calmed his soul, gaining confidence in God. When faced with uncertainty, David turned his thoughts to the deeds of the Lord.

Recognizing the power of God is the best remedy against anxiety. Remembering what the Lord has already done points us to what God can do again! Trust in the Lord; calm your soul, for He has been good to you.

Soothing the soul

  • Reflect on the blessings and deeds of the Lord in your life. If He has done great things before, imagine what He can do now!
  • Thank God for what He has already done for you. Take a moment for thanksgiving. A grateful heart to God is light and open to receiving even more blessings.
  • Read the Bible and see how much God loves us. Meditate on His word and feed on the word that is effective.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, You are mighty, and nothing and no one can hinder You! You have already accomplished great things in my life, and for that, I am grateful to You. My trust is in You, thus my soul finds peace in Your mighty strength. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

He has always loved us!

God created us and loved us from the beginning. Before we realized who we were, we were already loved by him. God's love has no physical or spiritual barriers, he has loved us forever!

When we know that we are loved by God - and recognize the proof of love embodied in Jesus - our lives take on a new perspective. We are hit by a wave of gratitude. Then we think: what have we done to receive so much love? If we look for a reason to justify ourselves, we won't find one. God chose to love us because he is God!

We have received his love freely and we must reciprocate it in the same way. Love God unconditionally. Return God's love by loving him. This "two-way street" is called a relationship. To love and be loved, that's the relationship God wants from us.

Here's how to repay God's love:

  • Loving God (1 Chronicles 16:34 and Deuteronomy 6:5)
  • Loving our neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40 and 1 John 4:19-21)
  • Obeying His Word (John 14:15 & John 14:21)
  • Sharing this love (Matthew 28:19-20 & Mark 16:15)
  • Try loving God in all these ways, abide in His love! He loves you and wants to be by your side at all times.

Pray:

Lord, how good it is to be loved by you! Your grace has reached me and I can only thank you for this sublime love. Thank you Father, amen!

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
  4. Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
  5. Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.
