Today's Devotional
Nothing will separate us from His love!
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
- Romans 8:35
The answer: Nothing will separate us from the love of God! We may one day forget Him, but God will never forget us. His love has no end and reaches both the grateful and the ungrateful through His mercy.
When we become aware of this love, everything in life takes on meaning even trials, persecutions, and struggles are seen in a new light. We were created to glorify Him through our lives.
All things that happen to us whether good or bad follow this same purpose: that He may be glorified! In the end, “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
When God gave His Son Jesus, He proved His love for us. Don’t forget you are loved by God. He loves you, and nothing will separate you from His love!
Experiencing the Love of God
- Seek to know more about this love through the Word of God. Everything written in the Bible points to God’s love.
- Connect with this love! Our God is alive and wants to relate to us. Seek Him in prayer, pursue intimacy with God through the Holy Spirit.
- Spread this love! God’s love is meant to be shared, talk about this love and love your neighbor. When we speak of God’s love to others, He pours His love into us even more!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You so much for Your love. I know I am not alone, and I also know that Your love keeps me alive. I want to experience even more of this love that saved me. Amen.
Yesterday's Devotional
Live joyfully!
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
or you may learn their ways
and get yourself ensnared.
- Proverbs 22:24–25
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
- Philippians 4:4
God’s people are (or should be) the happiest people on earth! Not because life with Jesus is a bed of roses or because everything always goes well for us, but because Jesus Christ is our joy, our source of hope and peace, and the very reason for our existence. We are also confident that He cares for us and loves us unconditionally. Because of all this, we have more than enough reason to rejoice.
Don’t let yourself be negatively influenced. Your joy should not be dependent on life’s problems or challenges. The joy of the Lord is your strength! Everything Jesus has already done is more than enough to motivate your joy and good mood each day. Christ gave Himself in love, making it possible for us to live a new life filled with hope and overflowing with joy!
Rejoice in God!
- Every morning, remember what Jesus has done in your life. He loves you with an everlasting love!
- Be thankful for the salvation, forgiveness, transformation, and freedom God has already brought into your life.
- Read the Bible and fill your heart with lasting satisfaction through the Word of God.
- Praise, sing, and worship the Lord! Celebrate the abundant grace provided by Christ.
- Let the true joy of the Holy Spirit influence those around you.
To Pray:
Lord God, You are the reason for my joy! Even when sad days come, my heart will rejoice in the wonderful salvation Christ won on the cross. Help me not to become bitter or discontent like those who don’t know You. Instead, help me to be a light that radiates peace, love, and true joy. Your joy strengthens me today and always! In Jesus’ name, amen.
Day Before Yesterday's Devotional
Know Christ and make Him known
Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.
- Hosea 6:3
Knowing God is not something reserved for special or “enlightened” people. The Lord reveals Himself to all who sincerely seek to know Him personally, with humility and faith. What a wonderful truth! Before Jesus, we all stand on the same level, there are no favorites among God's children. Yet there are those who cling to Him and love to know Him more throughout life's journey.
This is the invitation the Bible gives us: Know God and make Him known in the world! Knowing and continuing to know Jesus is both a privilege and a responsibility for every faithful Christian. It is also a liberating gift that we can share with everyone we meet. Jesus is the way of peace and genuine love. He is the hope that never fails and the truth that the world so desperately needs.
Be a lifelong learner of the Lord of Life, and shine His light into the world!
Continuing to Know God
- Use the abilities God has given you to know Him better. Pray, listen, study, read, and deepen your understanding of the Lord’s Word.
- Direct your mind, heart, and strength toward growing in your knowledge of Jesus.
- There is always something new to learn. Never think you know enough, or that it is too early or too late to learn more about God.
- Share your personal experience with God with others. Tell them what He has done for you and how knowing Him has transformed your life.
- Knowing God also means living according to that knowledge. See Epistle to Titus 1:16.
Prayer
Lord God, help me to know You more each day and to continue growing in my knowledge of You. Teach me to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. May I share Your love and Your power with everyone I meet. 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:
