Today's Word

wednesday, august 12 2026

Do you share what God has done for you?

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
- 1 John 1:3

Have you ever stopped to think about all that God has done for you? There are so many things God does for us and within us every single day. He not only sent Jesus to die on the cross for you and me so that we could have salvation and eternal life, but each day He lifts us up, provides for us, encourages us, and does countless other things on our behalf.

If you want others to come to Jesus and experience His goodness in their lives, share what He does for you daily. Did you feel better after someone prayed for you? Share that testimony with your family, friends, and coworkers. Did you receive some extra money or food at a critical moment? Tell others how God provided for you.

When you declare what God is doing for you, you strengthen your own faith, encourage your fellow believers, and impact others with the testimony of the living God who is working in you and in your circumstances. Lift up your voice and testify about what God is doing in your life. Help build up the Lord’s church and expand His Kingdom.

The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
- Psalm 126:3

Yesterday's Word

Choose for yourself

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
- Joshua 24:15

Each one of us must make a great decision with eternal consequences: to serve God or to turn our backs on Him. Some people delay this decision because they think they’ll have time tomorrow, next month, or ten years from now. They prefer to live their own way or do whatever they want for now. “I’ll decide another day,” they say.

But the truth is, we don’t know how much time we have left on this earth. Life is fleeting what is here today may be gone tomorrow. Many things may happen, but we still have today to make the most important decision of our lives. Choose to serve the Lord, and you will receive not only peace for today, but the assurance of salvation for all eternity.

Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
- Isaiah 55:6–7

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Read God's Word

Do you want to have a better day? Start with God's Word. In the midst of so many voices, opinions, and worries, the Bible remains the sure voice that directs our hearts toward what truly matters. When you open the Scriptures, you are not merely reading a book—you are placing yourself before the truth of God.

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
- 1 Peter 2:2–3

Just as the body needs food to have strength, your spiritual life needs daily nourishment. No one grows without eating. In the same way, faith grows stronger when you take time to listen to what God says through His Word.

There will be days when you need direction. On other days, you will need comfort, courage, or correction. The Bible provides all of these because it reveals God's character and shows us the path that leads to life. Many of the answers we seek begin to emerge when we learn to see our circumstances from the Lord's perspective.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
- Psalm 119:105

The transformation God desires to bring about in your life happens as you allow His Word to shape your thoughts and attitudes. The more you come to know God's will, the more prepared you are to make decisions that honor Him and reflect His grace.

Set aside time to be with God today. Even if it is only for a few minutes, open your Bible with a willing heart and a desire to learn. The Lord speaks, guides, and strengthens those who seek His presence.

God's Word provides nourishment for your soul, light for your path, and hope for every new day.
