Today's Word
Encourage others to praise God
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
- Psalm 34:3
Whether you realize it or not, the truth is that you have influence over the people around you. If you are in a bad mood and respond harshly, you start a chain of bad moods. In the same way, if you treat others kindly, they will respond kindly to you, or at least try to.
Is your heart full of gratitude and praise to God? Express it with your words and actions. Encourage others to praise God naturally by talking about the beauty around you, the wonderful people in your life, or some pleasant situation that has happened to you. End your comment by giving glory to God. It’s an easy and simple way to extend God’s kingdom.
Let your words and actions inspire others to seek and draw closer to God. Praise God with your life, show others how wonderful it is to live aware of God’s presence and His immense love for us. Nature itself speaks of God’s love and care!
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
- Psalm 19:1
Encourage the people around you so that, when they see the beauty around them, they will praise and exalt God with all their hearts. They will receive a great blessing.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
- Psalm 34:8

God’s plans are better
Imagine the greatest blessing possible for your life... That’s nothing compared to what God wants to give you! The Bible says that God does far more than we can imagine. Don’t limit yourself to your own dreams, God’s plans are so much better!
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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20–21
Pray to God and ask Him to help you always walk within His plan. God’s purpose for your life is far greater than you can imagine. What God has for you will draw you closer to Him and help you feel completely fulfilled because you’ll be living within His will.
Do not resist God’s plan for you. Submit to your heavenly Father with joy and a determination to obey Him at all times. When you live within God’s plan, you will feel whole and satisfied. Begin walking the path God has prepared for you.
The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
- Psalm 37:23–24
In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
- Proverbs 16:9
Choose to live within God’s plan for your life, and you will receive great blessings!

Day Before Yesterday's Word
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
