Chosen by eternal love

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will
- Ephesians 1:4–5

Even before everything existed, God had already thought of us and chosen us. He wanted us to be special to Him, not doing what is wrong, but living in a righteous way, as He desires. He wanted us close to Him, as beloved children.

That is why He sent us Jesus Christ, to show us His love and to give us the opportunity to become part of His family. Jesus died for us on the cross to save us and to give us a new life.

All of this was done because God loves us deeply and has a wonderful plan for each one of us. He wants us to live a life full of love, kindness, and peace, following His teachings.

Therefore, we can live with joy and gratitude, knowing that we are loved by God and that He is always by our side. We can trust in this love, knowing that He takes care of us and guides us in every step of life.

In this way, we can live happily, knowing that we are part of God’s family, and look to the future with hope, knowing that one day we will be forever by His side, enjoying His infinite love.

Yesterday's Devotional

God can brighten your day

Today, we share a transforming truth: the power of God is able to uplift your daily life. In the midst of adversity, it is comforting to know that we have a God who is always by our side, ready to strengthen and encourage us.

The Word of God assures us in Isaiah 41:10:

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
- Isaiah 41:10

This is a comforting promise, showing that God is not only with us, but also empowers us to overcome challenges. When the burdens of the day become heavy, remember Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” We do not face challenges alone; the Lord enables us to overcome every situation.

Furthermore, every morning God’s mercy is renewed (Lamentations 3:22–23), giving us a new day full of opportunities to experience His love and encouragement.

Therefore, place your day into the Lord’s hands. Speak with Him in prayer, meditate on His Word, and trust that He will encourage your heart. With God by your side, no day is unbearable.

May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, encourage your heart and guide your steps today and always.

God Is Able to Encourage Your Day

Set aside time for prayer, surrendering your day to God. Let Him guide your day.
Meditate daily on encouraging Bible passages.
Face each new day as an opportunity to experience God’s love.

Prayer

Lord, in Your presence, I surrender this day. Strengthen me in adversity and guide my steps with Your light. May Your peace reign in my heart, and may I reflect Your love in every action. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Apply the Word in your day

In the busyness of life, we sometimes feel lost and worried. As followers of God, we have a practical guide: the Bible. It is not just a religious book of ancient stories, but a daily source of guidance. It is through the Bible that God speaks to us.

The Bible tells us to allow the Word of God to change us, transforming us to become more like Jesus. In Romans 12:2:

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good, pleasing and perfect will.
- Romans 12:2

This means reading the Bible, reflecting on what it says, and allowing its teachings to shape how we think and act.

Just as a potter shapes clay, God wants to shape our lives according to His perfect plan. But for this to happen, we need to be willing to follow the Word of God with humility and trust. This involves setting aside time to read the Bible, asking God for understanding, and living according to what we learn.

The Word of God is powerful and can help us in difficult times. It reveals our weaknesses, brings light to our darkness, and guides us to the grace of Jesus. As we allow this change, we experience a renewal that is reflected in our actions.

So today, make the Word of God the foundation of your life. Let it guide you and be a light on your path, even in difficult moments. Allow it to change you, empowering you to live a life that pleases God and reflects the love of Jesus. By following the Word of God, we find freedom and a life full of meaning in Christ.

Let the Word shape you:

Set aside time every day to read the Word of God. See: 10 Bible reading plans
In addition to reading, take time to reflect on what you have read and pray for understanding. Talk to God!
Apply biblical principles in specific situations, seeking to live according to the teachings of Jesus in your daily life.

Prayer:

Lord, guide me with Your light and shape me according to Your will. Strengthen my faith and grant me understanding as I read Your Word. In every challenge, may I reflect Your grace. I pray for wisdom to live according to Your principles and to reflect the love of Christ. 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
