The day of the change
In the hearts that seek the truth, there is a deep longing for change. With every sunrise comes the promise of a new day, full of possibilities. Every day is the “day of change,” when the light of hope shines upon those who seek transformation in Christ.
In the Bible, we find this passage in 2 Corinthians 5:17:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
This verse is the testimony of the redeeming work of God, who invites us to abandon the old and embrace the new through faith.
On the “day of change,” we are called to leave behind the chains of the past, the fears that imprison us, and the sins that oppress us. It is the moment to open our arms to divine grace, which frees us and renews us in love.
On this day, hearts fill with gratitude for the mercy of God, who grants us the opportunity to begin again. It is the moment to look forward with faith, trusting that the Creator is guiding every step, transforming our weaknesses into strength and our tears into joy.
May on this “day of change” we open our hearts to the light of Christ, allowing Him to lead us toward a future full of hope and purpose. May every sunrise be a reminder of the transforming power of divine love, which enables us to live an abundant life in His presence.
It is the day of change!
- Pray daily, seeking divine guidance and strength for personal change.
- Study the Word of God to receive constant direction and inspiration.
- Practice forgiveness, release resentment, and embrace reconciliation in love.
Prayer:
Lord, grant me the wisdom to embrace change with courage. Strengthen my faith to face challenges with confidence in You. May Your grace guide me in every step, transforming my weaknesses into strength. Enable me to forgive and to love as You love. May this moment of change be a testimony of Your redeeming power in my life. Amen.

Yesterday's Devotional
You have a special talent
We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
- Romans 12:6–8
In Romans 12:6–8, we are reminded of the beauty of the diversity of gifts God has given us. Each of us possesses unique talents, granted by divine grace, so that we may serve the Lord and the community in different ways. The essence of this message encourages us to recognize and value these gifts, using them with dedication and enthusiasm.
If your gift is to prophesy, do so according to the depth of your faith, allowing the word of God to flow through you. If your gift is serving, serve with humility and love, remembering that even the smallest act of service is great in God’s eyes. If you teach, inspire and enlighten minds with wisdom and patience. If your talent is to encourage, spread optimism and hope, strengthening the hearts of those around you.
Give generously, knowing that your generosity makes a difference in the expansion of God’s Kingdom. To lead with diligence is to guide with integrity and passion, showing the way with firmness and compassion. And when you show mercy, do it with joy, reflecting God’s infinite grace in every act of kindness.
Remember, each gift, when used for the glory of God, becomes a powerful tool of transformation. May we, with gratitude and enthusiasm, exercise our gifts, building one another up and glorifying the name of the Lord.
Strengthen Your Gifts
• Identify your gifts: Reflect and discover the unique talents you have.
• Serve with joy: Use your gifts to help and inspire others.
• Seek growth: Continually develop your talents to serve God better.
Prayer:
Beloved Lord, I thank You for the gifts You have given me. Help me to identify and use each talent with wisdom and love. May I serve with joy, teach with patience, and give with generosity. Guide me to lead diligently and to show mercy with joy. May my life reflect Your grace, building up and inspiring everyone around me. Amen.
Day Before Yesterday's Devotional
Do not despise humble beginnings…
For who has despised the day of small things?
For these seven rejoice to see
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
Zechariah 4:10a (NKJV)
Every marathon runner, before running, had to learn how to take the first step. Small beginnings may seem too simple or even embarrassing to some at first. But it is a fact that many people who achieve success in life have very modest and even uncomfortable beginnings. In today’s verse, we see encouragement from the Lord to the prophet Zechariah, to strengthen those returning from exile as they rebuilt the temple. Another translation says: “Do not despise small beginnings.”
Another good example in the Bible is David, the king who started out as a simple shepherd boy. In that first occupation, he did his best, with gratitude and praise to the Lord. For this reason, God, who sees the heart honored him by entrusting him with an even greater flock: the great nation of Israel. And you? Do you have a challenging task, like the rebuilding of the temple? Do you feel small and forgotten in the pasture, smelling of sheep? Do not despise humble beginnings… Take heart! Keep your faith and confidence in the One who can reward your effort, turning simple things into something very special!
Make an effort in the small things:
- Pray and thank the Lord for your situation today, even if it is modest and humble.
- Seize the opportunity to be faithful in little. God promises much more (Matt. 25:23).
- Do your best work and dedicate yourself even if you are not seen by people.
- Do not be ashamed of small tasks. They may be valuable preparation for something greater that is coming!
- God is with you! Seek to know Him more each day through His Word.
- Seek to glorify God in the small things.
Prayer:
My Jesus, You are my Lord and my best friend. Help me not to despise the small beginnings of life. Teach me to be diligent, grateful, and faithful along this journey. I ask for Your blessing and direction. May I praise and honor You for everything that happens in my life. In Jesus’ name, amen!
