Today's Word
Be a light where you are
Sometimes we have big dreams of going to this or that place, of being called to this or that, of shining brightly in the future. However, we let time pass and take on a passive attitude. Let’s get out of this lethargy! God has purposes for our lives today, right here. We are where He wants us to be now. Let’s live for Him!
Yes, let’s dream big dreams for the future. But let us live the present filled with the Holy Spirit, impacting everyone around us with the light of Christ. Let’s shine today for His glory!
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
- Matthew 5:14
Ask God how you can shine today for His glory. Set aside time to listen to His guidance and then put into practice what you felt in your heart.
God may remind you of someone who is going through a difficult moment. Could you meet that person for a coffee? Or maybe you could send them a message of encouragement? There are so many opportunities we have to shine with the light of Christ, let’s not waste them.
For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’
- Acts 13:47
Yesterday's Word
In the Kingdom of God there is no crisis
All around the world, people talk about economic crisis, financial instability, and markets that are collapsing. If we keep our eyes on the world, we will end up frustrated. But when we look to the Lord, we know that He can open doors that no one else can open. If you need a job right now, ask God, because the Kingdom of God is never in crisis.
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.
- Jeremiah 32:17
Do you need to see God working in the financial area? Pray that He will help you make good use of the resources He has provided and give you wisdom to know how to improve your financial health. Do you need to get a job? Pray to God and ask Him to guide your steps and help you establish connections with people who can assist you.
God knows your situation and is still in control. Keep trusting Him and seek His guidance to know the next steps you must take. He will guide you so that you have all the necessary resources to live with financial peace. Do your part, God is faithful and He will help you.

Day Before Yesterday's Word
The Lord honors those who are faithful to Him
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
- Psalm 4:3
Many times we are tempted to fail God, whether through our attitudes, our thoughts, or our actions. It is a great victory and blessing when we cling to the Lord and say no to temptation.
God deserves our faithfulness. Everything we are and everything we have we owe to Him. God has guided and cared for us until today, and we know that we can trust in Him. Not only that, He hears us when we cry out to Him and acts at the right time. Let us remain faithful on the path He has set for us. He honors those who serve Him faithfully.
To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless
- Psalm 18:25
Make a firm decision to remain faithful to God in every situation, but do not rely on your own strength to do so. Pray to God to help you remain steadfast in Him and to be upright in all your ways. With God’s help, you will be able to remain faithful to Him in any circumstance.
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
- 1 Corinthians 10:12–13
