Today's Word

Do you want to receive the best from God today?

In life, we need to be able to identify our weaknesses and struggles. But that is not enough. We must ask God to transform us and help us fight against our flaws and the situations that harm us.

When we identify our weak points and challenges, it is a call to humility and to dependence on God so He can empower us to face those adversities. In our weaknesses, we find the opportunity to strengthen our faith and trust in God.

Asking God to transform us is an act of surrender. It is recognizing that, on our own, we are incapable of overcoming our flaws and challenges. The psalmist reminds us: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). This confidence in God as our shepherd and guide gives us the courage to face the unknown.

Our faith teaches us that spiritual growth is a continuous process. The apostle Paul, in his letters, often describes the inner struggle between the desire to do what is right and the temptation of sin. He concludes: “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25). In Christ, we find redemption and the strength to fight against our flaws and overcome the situations that harm us.

It is in prayer and in reading the Scriptures that we find the Lord’s guidance. God gives us the Holy Spirit to empower us to live according to His purposes. When we trust in His grace and mercy, we are enabled to grow spiritually, overcome challenges, and experience the transformation He desires for our lives.

Therefore, identifying our weaknesses and asking God for transformation are crucial steps for us to grow in our faith and live according to God’s principles.

Listen to the Master and Obey

The Sovereign Lord has opened my ears;
I have not been rebellious,
I have not turned away.
- Isaiah 50:5

Do you take time each day to listen to the Heavenly Father? He wants to speak to your heart and guide your steps, so pay attention! Read the Word of God and reflect on how you can put it into practice throughout your day.

Take steps of obedience, do the Lord’s will in every situation you face, and you will see how your heart will be filled with His peace and great joy. Listening to God and obeying Him will open the doors for you to receive new blessings from the Lord.

So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. 33 Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
- Deuteronomy 5:32–33

Do you have to make an important decision today? Is there a delicate conversation ahead and you don’t know how to face it? Are you going to see someone difficult and you’re afraid of what might happen? Talk to God first and tell Him what you need!

Take time to listen to God, because He can give you the wisdom you need to face this day with peace and courage. Tell the Lord your situation and wait for Him to show you what to do.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
- Proverbs 3:5–8

Listen to the Master and obey Him with all your heart!

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Blameless

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:23

When we think about our imperfections and all the mistakes we make every day, it seems impossible to imagine that what this verse in Thessalonians says could one day come true. But the reality is that it will: on the day the Lord comes to take us to Himself, He will see us as completely sanctified and blameless.

How is this possible? The emphasis of this verse is not on us, but on our God of peace. It is He who, in His immense grace, makes us holy. The only thing we must do is receive His precious gift of forgiveness and salvation through Jesus and remain steadfast in Him.

When our spirit is filled with the Holy Spirit of God, His desires and will become ours. His thoughts guide our own, and our bodies move in obedience to God’s commandments. With Him as King, we begin to live a life of holiness.

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
- 2 Timothy 1:9

If you have not yet surrendered your entire life to God, if you have kept a few small kingdoms for yourself so that you can do as you please, decide today to give yourself completely to the Lord. Let Him sanctify you entirely and live the life He desires for you. You will not regret it!
