Today'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.

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!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Focus on what really matters

But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.
- Titus 3:9

This verse calls us to reflect on the true essence of our faith and the importance of focusing on what really matters in our Christian walk.

Many times, we find ourselves caught up in debates and disputes that, while they may seem significant, actually distract us from the greater purpose of following Christ. Heated discussions about doctrinal details or traditions can make us lose sight of the greatest commandment: to love God above all and to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Jesus taught us the importance of humility, compassion, and service. Instead of spending energy on controversies that add little value, we should strive to live according to Christ’s teachings. We are called to be light in the world, showing through our actions the love and grace of God.

Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
- 2 Timothy 2:23–24

The wisdom of avoiding useless disputes helps us cultivate a pure heart and a mind centered on the things that truly build up. By prioritizing unity and peace, we reflect Christ’s character and create an environment where the Holy Spirit can work freely.

May we seek discernment to recognize and stay away from discussions that do not contribute to our spiritual growth. In this way, we fulfill the true calling of our faith, following the path Jesus set before us.

Acting with wisdom and peace

  • Prioritize love and compassion, avoiding debates that do not strengthen your faith and spirituality.
  • Focus on living Christ’s teachings, showing God’s character through your daily actions.
  • Seek peace and unity, creating an environment where the Holy Spirit can work freely.

Prayer:

Lord God, help us to avoid useless discussions and to focus on love and compassion. Give us wisdom to live according to the teachings of Christ, promoting peace and unity. May our actions reflect Your character and glorify Your name, being a light to everyone around us. 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.
