Today's Devotional

Honoring God through gratitude

Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me,
and to the blameless I will show my salvation.
- Psalm 50:23

Giving thanks to God is a way of worshiping Him. A grateful heart recognizes what God has done. When we recognize and give thanks, we give God the opportunity to bless us even more!

Where there is gratitude, there is a teachable heart, ready to be filled by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, an ungrateful heart is hard, rough, and does not recognize the good things God has done. Unfortunately, this distances us from God’s favor. A hard heart can only be softened through forgiveness. After forgiveness, gratitude is the next step for those who want to walk in the ways of the Lord.

Giving thanks is a way of honoring God. Therefore, be grateful, He has saved you.

Offering gratitude

  • Start your day by thanking God. It will make a difference in your daily life.
  • Learn more about what God has already done for you, read the Bible regularly.
  • Before complaining about something, think about what God has already done for you. Instead of murmuring, persevere in silence. Most likely, at the end of your struggles, God will be praised.

Prayer:

Lord God, thank You so much for loving me so deeply! My heart rejoices in knowing how much I am loved by You. Thank You for saving me from the chains of sin and giving me the opportunity to write a new story through Your Son. Thank You God, you are the reason for my life! Amen.

Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
- 1 John 4:4

The message of encouragement in this verse points us to four important truths:

First, we are children of the Heavenly Father. It is an honor to be lovingly called God’s little children. He calls you “dear child” and cares for you as the loving Father that He is.

Second, He assures us that we belong to God! You are not abandoned in this world, nor left to chance… You belong to the Lord, who is in control of all things. The sovereign Creator of the universe is your Father, and He sustains you.

Third, we are victors! How wonderful it is that before the “game” of life even ends, we already know that we will come out as champions, if we remain by the side of Jesus Christ. God’s power is greater than false prophets, false idols, and the rulers of this earth. With God, you will overcome!

Finally, we can be certain by faith that God is greater than the evil spirit at work in the world. He is supreme! Despite hardships, uncertainties, struggles, and all suffering, Jesus is our strong tower, unbeatable against any storm!

Greater is God who is by your side!

  • Believe that He is always with us! The presence of God in your life makes all the difference...
  • Pray to God. Just as a child rests in the strong arms of their father, surrender yourself to the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength!
  • Do not be deceived by the lies of this world… Hold firmly to the Lord!
  • Get to know Him more! The Word of God is an inexhaustible source of nourishment and life. It teaches you how to overcome.
  • When the storms of life come, stand firm in faith! Christ is always with you!

Prayer:

Lord God, You are greater than everything in this world! Thank You, because even being so great, You still care for me, accept me as Your child, and take care of me… I praise You, because with Jesus we can overcome the Enemy of our souls, who tempts us in so many ways. Help me to always trust in You. May You increase in my life more and more each day. In the name of Jesus, amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Rise up with courage!

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
- 2 Timothy 1:7

More than a feeling, cowardice is a spirit that conditions and limits your mind and motivation. Like a living organism, it grows and gains strength as you feed it with fear, unbelief, and indifference. In today’s verse, we see that God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline. Hold tightly to this grace granted by the Holy Spirit who dwells in you, and rise up from the ground!

Life’s problems often give us many reasons to remain downcast and apathetic in the face of our circumstances. But instead, we must surrender before God and cry out to Him with fervor and boldness! Do not cower before the giant threats that arise, for that will only lead to oppression, sadness, and unnecessary suffering. Ask and the Lord will grant you strength for life! Live courageously through faith in Christ Jesus!

Let go of cowardice, receive courage from God!

  • Hold firmly to your faith, hope, and love in the Lord Jesus Christ. He is greater than your difficulties.
  • Pray with confidence; ask God to work in your life and give you courage and faith for each day.
  • Don’t let life’s hardships limit your trust in God. Act by faith! But before you act, always seek the Lord’s guidance.
  • Read the Bible daily. You will be encouraged through God’s Word to stand firm in times of crisis.
  • Trust in God and lean on His Word. He loves you and helps you in every situation!

Prayer:

Lord our God, I believe in You! Despite the afflictions I have faced, I know that You, Lord, are in control of all things. You are the sovereign God! I will not fear evil, for I know You are with me! Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who works in me. You are good and grant me courage, power, love, and balance to face all the challenges of this life. I thank You, in Jesus' name. Amen!
