Today's Devotional

Don’t count on tomorrow, live today!

Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
- Proverbs 27:1

“Tomorrow I will do this or that…” This is a false assumption we all make: taking tomorrow for granted. But the truth is that the future whether near or far, is something we do not control. Believe it: you are incapable of knowing whether tomorrow will even exist! We can make plans, organize schedules, arrange simple tasks or big projects, but the one who determines whether these things will happen is God.

This does not mean that we should not plan, have organized goals, or envision future projects. But it requires humility and faith from us so that we trust the Lord of time. “If God wills,” He will fulfill everything according to His sovereign will.

Today is a gift from God to all of us. Therefore, make the most of it, doing everything as if it were for the Lord. Smile, love, work, rest, serve, forgive, seek forgiveness… Whatever comes to your hand to do today, do it! Because tomorrow does not belong to us; we do not know if we will have that time.

Enjoy God’s gift: today!

  • Enjoy the gift of life by being your best and doing your best today.
  • Pray and entrust your future projects and dreams to the Lord.
  • Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
  • Make a list of things you would like to do, learn, or have by the end of your life. Start today and take a step toward making those dreams a reality.
  • Read James chapter 4. Write down the principles you learn from that passage.
  • Include in your phrases: “If God wills,” I will do this or that… (James 4:15)
  • Live the present with Jesus, and have hope for the future, always trusting that God will do what is best according to His perfect purpose.

To Pray:

Lord God, help me to trust in You and surrender all my life and my plans to You. Teach me to live today with love, dedication, and faithfulness, for this is the day You have made for me to live fully. Tomorrow belongs to You, Father. May I not become anxious or presumptuous about the future, but may I rest and trust that You are the Lord of time, sovereign over all things. If You allow it, I will live tomorrow and in You I will be able to accomplish my dreams. And may everything be for Your glory and praise. In Jesus’ name, Amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Jesus is the cure for anxiety!

When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought me joy.
- Psalm 94:19

Anxiety is a feeling that can paralyze our faith. In the same way, faith is the best way to fight anxiety. While faith is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1), anxiety is fueled by doubt and uncertainty.

Jesus is the cure for anxiety! While the devil sows doubt, Christ gives us relief and direction. Do not let anxiety dominate you, meditate on the Word of God. Dispel the fear of tomorrow with the presence of God.

Casting off anxiety

  • In moments of anxiety, pray. Talk to God to ease your heart.
  • Faith comes from hearing the Word of God. As our faith grows, anxiety decreases.

Prayer:

Lord, Your Word comforts me. Your voice calms me and brings me joy. Remove from me all doubt, fear, and uncertainty in my heart. Make my heart Your dwelling place. Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Being nourished in the morning

Just as breakfast is essential to nourish our body and prepare us for the day, spiritual nourishment in the morning is crucial to strengthen our faith and guide our steps. Just as we need physical food to sustain our body, we also need the Word of God to sustain our faith.

When we begin the day by immersing ourselves in the Bible, we feed our mind and heart with truths that strengthen us. Just as a nutritious breakfast gives us energy for daily activities, the Word of God gives us wisdom and discernment to face the challenges we encounter along the way.

The psalmist David understood the importance of seeking God in the morning, writing:

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait expectantly.
- Psalm 5:3

He recognized that starting the day in God’s presence was essential for finding direction and peace. When we nourish ourselves with the Word of God in the morning, we are placing our trust in the Author of life.

Just as we make an effort to have a healthy breakfast every morning, we should also strive to nourish ourselves spiritually with the Word of God. May we make reading and meditating on the Scriptures a vital part of our daily routine, so that we may grow in faith and live a life that glorifies God in everything we do.

Have a hearty breakfast! ☕️

  • Set aside time every morning to read a passage from the Bible and meditate on it.
  • Say a sincere prayer, committing your day to God and asking for wisdom.
  • Seek to apply biblical truths in your daily life, acting according to God’s will.

Prayer:

Lord, as we awaken each morning, may our first hunger be for You. Feed us with Your Word, which nourishes our soul and guides our steps. Fill us with Your wisdom and love, so that we may reflect Your light in everything we do. May our fellowship with You strengthen our faith and enable us to live according to Your will. Amen.
