Today's Devotional
He does infinitely more!
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21
Even if we think of something big for our lives, God has an even bigger plan! Even according to His Word, what we ask for is still little compared to what He has already prepared for us. So don't worry about what you want to receive, because God already knows what we want and has prepared something greater than what we dream of.
Now, to have access to what God has prepared for us, we need to obey and submit to Him. When we put His Kingdom first, he blesses us in every area of our lives.
He already knows what we need and dream of, so don't worry about how to achieve your dreams, think first about how to serve God in the best way and all the other things will be supplied by Him.
Being surprised by God
- Change your focus, put your expectations on God and not on earthly things. That way, we are focusing on what really matters, and when we least expect it, we are surprised by Him.
- Allow God to be part of your dreams and plans. He wants to be with you at every moment of your life.
Pray:
Lord God, I know that my plans are small compared to what you have prepared for me. I want to experience Your blessings, I want to serve You and focus on expanding Your Kingdom. For I know that all other things will be provided for by You. In Jesus' name, amen!

Whoever trusts in God will not be disappointed
To you they cried out and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
- Psalm 22:5
Some people place their trust in strength, others in beauty or money. We all have faith but the difference lies in where we place it. Those who place their faith in their own strength will eventually lose it. And those who place their faith in money risk falling into ruin.
But whoever puts their trust in God will not be disappointed.Our God is unshakable! Everything else, money, strength, power, can fade away, but the Word of the Lord will endure forever.
God is with us in the storm and in the calm, in sorrow and in joy. He hears the cries of His children and answers every plea. Trust in God and feel safe!
Trusting in God
- Reading His Word is the best way to grow in your trust in Him.
- Declare your trust, pray, talk to God.
- Don’t be anxious; God will act at the right time (2 Peter 3:8). Trust in Him!
To Pray:
God, my faith is anchored in You. Circumstances and people may disappoint me, but I know You are faithful. I trust in You! Amen.
Day Before Yesterday's Devotional
Always attentive
Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
- Luke 12:35–40
The Parable of the Watchful Servant reminds us of a vital truth in the Christian life: the need to always be alert and prepared for Christ’s return. Jesus warns us about the unpredictability of His second coming and invites us to live in constant watchfulness. The parable speaks of servants who await their master’s return and are blessed for being ready when he arrives. Their readiness is likened to lamps that remain lit, symbolizing continual vigilance.
The message of this parable is clear: we do not know the day or the hour, so we must remain spiritually alert at all times. It is easy to become distracted by the concerns of daily life and neglect our walk with God. Yet Christ calls us to live purposefully, committed to His will, always awaiting His coming.
To be “always attentive” does not mean living in anxiety, but in faith. It means keeping a heart aligned with God, acting with integrity and vigilance. As watchful servants, we must be ready to respond to Christ’s call at any moment, trusting in His promise and living according to His will.
May we, each day, renew our commitment to live prepared, keeping our “lamps burning,” faithfully awaiting the return of our Lord.
Be always attentive
- Keep your prayer life active and constant, always seeking the presence of God.
- Live each day with purpose, serving God in small and great opportunities.
- Develop an attitude of spiritual readiness, standing firm in faith and works.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to be always watchful, with a heart prepared to receive You. Give me strength to live with purpose, faithful in Your service, keeping my faith burning amid distractions. May I be attentive to Your call, living each day in readiness and hope. Amen.
