Today's Devotional

The Lord is our strength

On the journey of life, we face many challenges that can shake us. However, it is in these moments that we must remember that the Lord is our strength and our unshakable rock. As it is written in Psalm 18:2:

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
- Psalm 18:2

When we feel overwhelmed, we can trust in the promise that God is our safe refuge. He gives us the courage to face the storms and the peace to overcome moments of anxiety. The Lord’s fortress is not only a shelter from danger but also a continual source of strength and renewal. In His presence, we find hope and encouragement to keep going, even when the road seems difficult.

Therefore, do not be discouraged! Put your trust in the Lord and allow Him to be your fortress. With God by our side, we are more than conquerors. He sustains and guides us, strengthening our spirit and empowering us to overcome any challenge.

The Lord is our fortress! 💪

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

God is with you every day!

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- Romans 8:38–39

Yes, God is continually with us throughout our lives. Nothing and no one can separate us from His love, this is recorded in the Bible. So why, even knowing this, do we sometimes have the feeling of being alone? The Bible also explains this: God is with us, but the problem is that many times we are not with Him.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God, but sin distances us from His presence. That is why it is so important that we quickly recognize our mistakes and return to the arms of the Lord. This attitude is a personal responsibility and a possibility we were given thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus. Without forgiveness, we would already be condemned and doomed to destruction.

Do not waste time in reconciling with God, He is waiting for you with open arms. God is with you every day and He wants to be even closer. So go to Him, move away from darkness, and walk toward the light of Christ.

Every day with you!

  • Recognizing our errors is a way of identifying what separates us from God. Turn away from what turns you away from Him.
  • If you don’t have the strength to distance yourself from what prevents you from being with God, cry out! Recognition is a step. Talk to Him; ask God for help. A willing heart attracts the provision of the Lord.
  • Increase your intimacy with Him. Talk to God during good moments; ask for His guidance; praise Him. This is a healthy habit that makes us feel even closer to Him.
  • Read the Word of God. Through the Bible, God speaks to us daily.

Prayer:

Lord, I know that You are with me every day, I want to be with You every day! Cleanse me from all evil that keeps me away from You. Your presence is essential in my life; Your presence is the reason for joy in my heart. I want to be with You every day! In the name of Jesus, amen!

Investing in the right place!

Today the business world is accessible to a large portion of people. Even those who don’t have many resources take risks and invest. We can invest money, and even our time, because as the world says, “time is money.” It is interesting, but the Word of God collides with this materialistic mentality.

If time is money, then who owns time? Who owns all the silver and all the gold? God! For this reason, there is no better place to invest your resources, your energy, and your time than in the Kingdom of God. This kind of investment will never bring loss and it comes with guaranteed return.

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
- Matthew 6:19–21

When we invest our time and effort in earthly things, we are investing in something that is destined to fail. Power, wealth, cars, all of these will pass away. Do not spend your time trying to become a millionaire or a successful entrepreneur, because “wealth disappears the moment you look at it. It sprouts wings and flies away like an eagle in the sky.” (Proverbs 23:5)

Many coaches and mentors speak a lot about having a “winner’s mindset,” but for God that is not enough. With God we receive the “more than conquerors mindset” through Christ Jesus. This mindset makes us think about things above and value what truly matters.

The greatest investment you can make on earth is to believe in Jesus and receive eternal life. This investment will impact your life in the short term, in the medium term, and in the long term.

Prayer:

Lord, I want to dedicate my time and effort to the things that truly have value. Everything on earth has an expiration date, but Your Word is eternal. I know You do not leave anything lacking, so take care of me. In the name of Jesus, 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.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
