Today's Devotional
You are God’s house!
Yes, the Bible affirms that we, His people, are the dwelling place of the Most High God! What a wonderful privilege! Reflect on this:
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
- 1 Corinthians 3:16
God does not dwell in temples made by human hands. Although we are imperfect, He chose to live within us. That is, all His children, redeemed by Jesus Christ, are no longer merely visited by God, but inhabited by Him. This means you are never alone. God is with you, inside you!
It is true that we are a work under continuous construction. We need Christ to shine His light within us, make the necessary changes, clean every area and every hidden corner. In short, He works to make our lives a pleasant home for Him to dwell in.
Become a beautiful sanctuary dedicated to God!
- Let God feel at home in your life. Seek His holiness daily.
- God is not a stranger visiting your house, do not push Him away from your life.
- Pray and allow God to remove all hidden “trash” and to organize the mess within you.
- Give God full authority in this house, give Him the throne of your heart.
- Only the work of the Spirit of God can bring true and lasting transformation, the kind you truly need.
To Pray:
Lord my God, thank You for choosing to dwell among Your people. Help me to be a good home for You. I know You know my imperfections and that You are working on each of them. Remove all the debris of the past, clean me! Make me consecrated to You. Shine Your light within me and feel completely at home in every area of my life! You are my Lord. Govern and guide my entire being, in Christ’s name. Amen!

Yesterday's Devotional
How can you tell?
"In the Lord I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain."?"Psalm 11:1
When the psalmist puts all his trust in God, he is sure that none of his enemies can get away with anything. David, the author of the psalm, doesn't think he's simply unbeatable, just as we shouldn't think that of ourselves, because every day we bear our own evil. But he is writing about God's justice, for he loves the righteous and hates the wicked.
Even if we suffer a lot in our lives, from terrible people, and we feel hurt, we can rest in God. This is because he is the righteous judge of all reality. His throne is in heaven and from there he sees everything that has ever happened.
If someone has stolen from you, humiliated you, cursed you or harmed you in any way, if they don't repent, God will bring them to judgement. And we face the same judgement, unless we repent of our sins and believe in Christ Jesus.
Practise justice!
- Read the whole of Psalm 11
- Reflect on and think about yourself, woul you describe yourself as righteous or wicked?
- Pray and trust God that He will bring you justice
Pray:
Lord God, my Father, and Jesus Christ my saviour, I ask you to protect me and keep me from all evil. When the wicked threaten me and terrorise my peace, may I be protected under their wings, safe from evil attacks. May I and my enemies repent of our sins, and be eternally at your side, Lord, for in Christ the sins of all mankind have been paid for. In Jesus' name, amen.

God is always there!
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble."
Psalm 46:1
In times of adversity, our faith is put to the test, how we respond shows where we place our strength and refuge. The Bible is full of faithful people who faced adversity, such as Jeremiah (the 'weeping prophet') and Job, the trials they faced pushed them out of their comfort zone to a place where all their feelings and resources were at their absolute limit. In moments of anguish such as these, it is all too easy to lose clarity and direction. With God as your refuge, you can cope with even the most extreme anguish.
God is always with us, in good times and bad. He never abandons us! The feeling of fear may arise but we should never forget that He is always with us. Cry out to God in prayer, and ask for His provision.
We can also find refuge in His Word (Psalm 119:114, "You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word."). The Bible is a great relief in times of adversity. God is faithful to keep all his promises, so stand firm and trust in the Lord!
He is there!
- God is always present. Seek his presence in prayer.
- The Holy Spirit comforts us and gives us direction.
- Seek refuge in God's Word. The Bible is a great way to reconnect with God.
Pray:
Lord, I know that in the midst of difficulties you are with me. Keep me according to Your Word and guide me towards Your promises. I trust in you and know that you are with me always! 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:
