Today's Devotional

He will never leave you; he will never abandon you!

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
- Deuteronomy 31:8

This was a word spoken by Moses to the young Joshua. Just imagine leading a people in the conquest of a great promise. Simply thinking about it already seems extremely challenging. When Moses spoke these words to Joshua, he wanted to make it very clear that he would not be alone, the Lord himself would go before him.

In fact, these words are not a prophecy, but a testimony. Moses was a living witness that God had gone before His people. From the departure from Egypt to Canaan, the Lord did not abandon His people. God is faithful and fulfills everything He says, and it was with this certainty that Moses encouraged Joshua. The same God who delivered them from slavery would guide them in taking possession of the promise.

Do not be afraid, God will never leave us! Sometimes we look back and feel alone; in reality, God is right in front of us. If we choose to follow in His footsteps, we will always be moving forward. God is not only with us, but He also wants us to advance in His promises. Do not be discouraged, do not be afraid, the Lord himself goes before you!

He will never leave you!

  • Strive for deeper fellowship with God. Whoever seeks Him, finds Him.
  • Read the Bible. When we know the promises, what God has already done, our faith grows and so does our desire to move forward.
  • If you feel alone, pray. Speak to God; He is accessible through His Son, Jesus.

Prayer:

Lord God, You are faithful and You abandon no one. I want to thank You for being with me in every situation. Guide me toward Your promises. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

In a fight, there are no winners

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
- Proverbs 15:1

In our daily lives, it’s easy to get carried away by emotions and end up in arguments. Often, these conflicts arise from misunderstandings, wounded pride, or the urge to impose our opinions. In the heat of the moment, we might think that being louder or more forceful will make us “win.” But the truth is, in a fight, no one truly wins.

Words spoken impulsively can hurt deeply, leaving scars that sometimes take a long time to heal. Even small disagreements can grow into major rifts between family members or friends. But is it really worth it? The Bible teaches us to be peacemakers, following the example of Jesus, who even when offended or treated unjustly, responded not with anger but with love and forgiveness.

When we choose to avoid conflict, we choose the path of peace. By being patient and answering gently, we can defuse anger and prevent conflicts from escalating.

If you find yourself in a tense situation, remember: forgiveness is more powerful than revenge. Avoid unnecessary arguments and seek to live in peace with everyone.

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
- Colossians 3:13

Avoid fights and live in peace:

  • Choose silence over arguing. When you feel anger rising, take a deep breath and hold back impulsive words.
  • Be a peacemaker. Try to understand the other person’s side and respond calmly, promoting reconciliation and harmony.
  • Practice forgiveness daily. Remember Christ’s forgiveness and offer grace in times of conflict, bringing healing to hearts.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to be a peacemaker in times of conflict. Teach me to control my tongue and respond with love, even when provoked. Give me a forgiving heart, just as You have forgiven me. May I always choose peace, avoid fights, and cultivate harmony in my relationships. Strengthen me to follow Your example, acting with grace and patience. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Joy will come in the morning...

For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
- Psalm 30:5

In life, we sometimes go through hard times, seasons of sadness, pain, and suffering. We lose important things: opportunities, jobs, education, work, dreams… Relationships break down, we grow distant from those we love the most, we hurt friends, and we lose loved ones… The crying, anguish, and grief can feel endless. But believe this: God puts an end to our suffering. Even if everything around you says otherwise, have faith joy will come!

In many Bible passages, we see God’s grace revealed in the lives of His children, and it will be no different with you…
Daniel’s friends were thrown into the fiery furnace but they came out unharmed. Daniel himself spent a night in a den of hungry lions but none of them harmed him. Job lost his children, his possessions, and his health but came to know God more deeply. Heaven and earth grieved the death of the Savior but on the third day, He rose again! And today, because Jesus lives, we can have true joy and hope!

Joy Comes in the Morning

  • Cry out to God wherever and however you are (sad, alone, in a hospital bed, or in pain…). He hears and sees you.
  • Entrust your life to the Lord and ask Him for help in these difficult times.
  • Even without strength or words, pour out your tears and your heart before your heavenly Father.
  • God’s Word is the nourishment you need for strength and comfort. Read, listen to, and study the Bible.
  • Don’t withdraw from fellowship with the Church. Meet with friends and brothers and sisters in the faith. Ask them to pray with you and walk alongside you.
  • Wait patiently for the Lord. If you’re still going through dark nights, believe that a new day of joy will come!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I believe that the joy of the Lord is my strength. Even though I feel sad and burdened, I place my life in Your hands. Renew me and make all things new again. I give You my dreams, plans, family everything I am. I know I am not alone… You are with me! Help me to rely on You and trust in Your Word. You are faithful! Stay with me now and always, in Jesus’ name. 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!
