False confidence...

This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
- Jeremiah 17:5

Who have you been trusting in? This is a key question for anyone who wants to live by faith in God. Sadly, we often replace sincere trust in the Lord with what we can see material things, our own strength, or that of others. When we place our faith in anything or anyone besides God, we are embracing false confidence and turning away from Him.

Today’s verse warns us about that fake faith, a trust based on people or worldly resources, which distances us from God. It is the natural tendency of fallen humanity to drift away from the Lord and seek answers from human idols. But every Christian must have Jesus Christ as the true focus of their faith. He is our real hope, the author and finisher of our faith. Only by trusting in God will we be called blessed, because our confidence rests in Him.

Abandon false confidence today!

Reflect on who or what has been the object of your trust. Is it parents, boss, spouse, children, yourself, material things… Remember: no one but the Lord is worthy of total trust.
Remove your faith from the person or thing (like money) that you've been trusting more than God. What you need won’t come by human strength or willpower, but by the grace and will of God.
Unless you place 100% of your trust in God, you will end up hurt and disappointed, no one can do what only Jesus can.
Pray and place the Lord at the center of your heart. Trust and rest in Him. He will act. (Psalm 37:4–5)
Seek to know God more each day through His Word. The more you know Him, the stronger your trust in Him will grow.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, forgive me for placing my trust in things or people instead of in You. Help me to believe in You with all my heart and not rely on my own strength. Let Your Word teach me to trust and rest in You through every challenge I face. I thank You because You are good and faithful, worthy of all my trust, and You care for me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.

Honesty makes a difference

Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death.
- Proverbs 10:2

Honesty is a virtue that is sadly practiced very little in the world. Greed and selfishness stand out in human relationships, from a very young age. If we are not watchful, we are tempted to always find a “shortcut” to gain advantage, deceive, or take benefit from a situation.

But this kind of behavior should not be an option for the children of God. All dishonest gain does not come from the Lord. Christ calls us to make a difference, being salt and light in a corrupt society full of deception, tricks, and fraud. Pay the price and be faithful, upright, and honest.

Remember that not all the money in the world would be enough to corrupt the Judge of the Universe. God is perfectly just and expects a similar attitude from His people. Riches may even free someone from a sentence in a civil court, but only righteousness will deliver the guilty from eternal justice (Prov. 11:4–5).

Make a difference

Pray and ask God to help you be more honest, just, and upright in everything you do.
Being honest is doing what is right, whether in front of others or alone (God’s eyes are everywhere! — Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13).
Be the best example of honesty for your family and friends. Teach, in practice (to children and adults alike), the value of this virtue: do not take what is not yours;

keep your word;
do not incur debts if you cannot pay them;
return what you borrowed;
tell the truth;
do not associate with dishonest people;
admit when you fail and ask for forgiveness, etc.
4. Honesty, truth, and righteousness are non-negotiable values. Do not think twice—do what is right!

Prayer:

Lord my God, we live in a world so inclined toward evil; help me to be different. Forgive me… May I grieve over my character flaws and change direction when I sin. May I not conform to the “normal” pattern of the majority, but be transformed by Your Word. Purify my thoughts and actions. Teach me to be more like Jesus, holding on to His values, no matter the cost. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Starting the day with Christ

When we open our eyes in the morning, it is as if God is giving us a brand-new gift. He gives us the gift of a new day, full of opportunities to grow, love, and share His light with the world. And there is something special about starting every day: starting it with Christ.

In the Bible, in Lamentations 3:22-23, it is written:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
- Lamentations 3:22-23

These words remind us that with every new sunrise, we are surrounded by God’s love and faithfulness.

When we start the day with Christ, we can feel His presence guiding us, strengthening us, and giving us hope. We can begin the day with a simple prayer, thanking God for the gift of life and asking for His direction throughout the hours that lie ahead.

Every moment, from the first ray of sunlight to the final breath before bedtime, can be filled with the presence of Christ. He walks with us every step of the way, giving us strength to face challenges and filling us with joy even in difficult moments.

Starting the day with Christ is choosing light, love, and hope. May we open our hearts to Him every morning and allow His peace to surround us throughout the day. This way, we can live each moment with purpose and gratitude, knowing we are always safe in His loving arms.

Start the day with Jesus

• Pray early in the morning seeking God’s direction and thanking Him for daily blessings.
• Read the Bible to strengthen your faith and receive inspiration to begin your day.
• Share the love of Christ through kind and generous actions. This will make a difference throughout your day.

Prayer:

Lord, as I begin this day, I give You my thoughts, words, and actions. May Your presence fill my heart with peace and hope. Help me see opportunities to serve and love others as You have loved us. 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:

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.
Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
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!
