Today's Devotional

Woe betide those who make us stumble!

"5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

Causing to Stumble

6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

- Matthew 18:5-6

There is a very clear concern in the New Testament, one that is present in all the books and is the subject of warnings, alerts and entire letters. False teachers, that's was a major concern for those who wrote the scriptures. But what are False Teachers? Sometimes they are simply very well-meaning people trying to come up with good ideas, but who unfortunately deviate from what the Bible teaches.

There is one truth, one gospel. The apostle Paul was angry with the Galatians for so quickly being deceived into believing a gospel other than the one that had been preached. It's so important that we hold fast to what has been preached to you: the one gospel, that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, he died for our sins and rose again on the third day. He is at the side of God the Father and will return to rule.

Cling to the truth

  • Do you know the truth of the gospel? Have faith that these things happened
  • Do you believe in the gospel? Have faith that everything happened for these reasons
  • Share the gospel! Salvation is offered to everyone, pass the message of salvation forward.

Pray:

Lord, I thank you with all my heart for the gospel of salvation. I believe, my Father, in this gospel message of Jesus Christ and I cling to it with fear and reverence. I ask that your Holy Spirit will enlighten my mind and help me to recognise and know sound doctrine. I ask this in Jesus' name, amen!

Live by the living Word

Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
- Psalm 119:105

The Bible, the Word of God, is the source of all truth and wisdom. It is what guides us and lights our way. When we feel that circumstances are too heavy to bear, we must remember that the Word of God is our sustenance and fortress.

The Word of God offers us comfort in times of sorrow, guidance when we are lost, and hope when everything seems to fall apart. Every verse carries a transforming power, capable of changing hearts and minds, renewing our trust in God’s love and promises.

When we dedicate ourselves to studying the Bible and applying its principles, we are building our lives upon the solid rock that is Christ. Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word of God, is the greatest example of the living Word. He taught us to love, to forgive, and to live a life full of purpose. His teachings are the foundation for a life built upon Truth and grace.

Allow the Word of God to penetrate deeply into your heart. Meditate on it daily, and let it shape your actions and thoughts. Trust in the Lord and in His Word, for it will never fail. In moments of discouragement, remember that the Word of God is living and effective, able to transform any situation and give us a new perspective.

Live the living Word

  • Read the Bible daily to strengthen your faith and be guided by the Holy Spirit.
  • Practice prayer, seeking wisdom and direction in the Holy Scriptures.
  • Apply the biblical teachings in your daily actions, living according to God’s will in practice.

Prayer:

Lord God, I thank You for Your Word that guides and builds us up. May Your light shine on my path and strengthen my faith. In moments of difficulty, remind me of Your love and promise. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

A love that lasts forever!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever!

Psalms 136:1

The love of God is something that transcends time and cannot be measured. How do we classify this love? It's a love that conquers death, overcomes pain, forgives, and heals. Another characteristic of this love is that it lasts forever!

In the face of this unconditional love, why do we sometimes feel alone? If God's love lasts forever, why do we have moments of tribulation? These and other questions may have already crossed our minds. God's love does not diminish and neither does it abandon us. What happens is that many times we distance ourselves from God because of sin, and sin precisely blocks us from this love.

But do not be sad, there is a way to return to the Father's arms! It will require effort, humility, and an open heart. God is merciful and has already forgiven us of all sin, but to validate it we must ask for forgiveness and place ourselves before God. God's love drives out any feeling of condemnation. God is good, and his love lasts forever!

Experiencing this love:

  • Read the Gospel and see the greatest proof of love that humanity can know: Jesus Christ.
  • Jesus is alive and is among us! Pray, seek Him. Love is a relationship.
  • Spread this love with others. God's love is practical and bears fruit.

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus! I want to experience more of Your love. Pour Your peace into my heart and make me a channel of love for my neighbor. I want to experience this love more and more! 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.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
