Every day, until the end of the world

After His resurrection and before ascending to heaven, Jesus spoke some very important words to His disciples. He entrusted them with a special mission, and that commission extends to all of us who, since then, have accepted Jesus as Lord of our lives.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
- Matthew 28:19–20

As these verses say, we have a mission to fulfill: to make disciples of Jesus wherever we go. But we, the children of God, are not alone in doing this work, nor do we do it in our own strength. Jesus Himself promised us His presence and companionship every day, until the end of the world.

Do today the work that God has given you to do. Do it with determination and courage, because Jesus is by your side. He walks with you and enables you to share His message of salvation and to do great things in His name. Never forget that you have His presence and His help every day, until the end of the world.

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

Yesterday's Word

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

Day Before 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
