Today's Devotional

God is the source of true beauty

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

Nowadays, appearance has become a key element in society. Looking beautiful and well-groomed has become almost an obligation. And to stay "in fashion" you need resources, which unfortunately not everyone has. Looking good may be important, but there is a limit: all appearance is superficial and fleeting.

Aesthetic beauty can be achieved with resources and products, but real beauty cannot be achieved with money. This beauty does not come from beauty, but from good deeds. A God-fearing woman will always be praised and will set an example for everyone.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and a wise woman builds her house (Proverbs 14:1). Try to attract the eyes of God and be a good example in your environment.

Beautiful in God's eyes

  • Remember that beauty is fleeting, but wisdom makes us even more beautiful.
  • Avoid using beauty as a criterion for a friendship or relationship, appearances can be deceiving.
  • God protects us like the apple of His eye, seek Him out.

Pray

Lord, thank you so much for your affection. I feel beautiful in your hands, protected and loved. I want to learn more from you and grow spiritually. Amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Who is the hero of your story?

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,the Son of God.
- Mark 1:1

The stories of Sherlock Holmes, the legendary English detective, are not told by Holmes himself. His friend and assistant, John Watson, is the narrator of the adventures. In the same way, the main character of the Bible is Jesus, but His story is told by His disciples.

Jesus is the hero of our story. He is the one who saves us and cleanses us from sin, brings us close to God, gives us gifts and opportunities to use them, and guarantees us eternal life. The glory doesn’t belong to us. Our role is to tell His story.

To avoid pride and give the glory to Jesus!

  • Thank God for the gifts He has given you
  • When you’re praised, tell others how Jesus helps you
  • Share Jesus’ story with others

To pray:

Lord Jesus, You are my Savior and the hero of my life. Help me to remember that and remain humble, giving all glory to You. May more people come to know You through my testimony. I want to live for You, not for myself. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Look to Jesus

As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.
- Psalm 123:2

When your life is falling apart, it's not wise to put your trust in fleeting and risky things that may disappoint. The resources of this life, whether people, opportunities, or money, may provide some help, but they are not entirely reliable, nor will they solve your problems. In fact, if God is not your helper, you will likely be conditioned by what your eyes see. Looking at life's circumstances can instill fear, doubt, or despair in you.

You need to focus on the right person, Jesus!

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." -
Hebrews 12:2

Only when your eyes are on Him will your life make sense, and you will walk in the right direction.

Look to Jesus today!

  • Pray and present your needs to the Lord. He is present and helps you.
  • It may seem like He isn't, but God is in control of everything. Keep your focus on the Lord and wait for His favor.
  • Read, meditate, and study the Bible diligently. Through it, you will see God more clearly.
  • The two verses today speak of a God we can trust. Also, read Psalm 121. Reflect and write down what you understand from these readings.
  • Looking to God means focusing, paying attention, trusting, and having a keen vision for Him. Take your walk with Christ seriously.
  • Do not rely on what your eyes are showing you unless they are fixed on God.

Let's Pray:

Lord my God, open the eyes of my heart so that I may see Your work in my life! Teach me to look to You with confidence, faith, and love. Help me not to despair with circumstances or trust in the wrong things. I believe that my help comes from the Lord. May Your mercies be renewed upon us this day. In the name of Jesus, Amen!

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
  4. Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
  5. Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
