Today's Devotional

Only God grants us the victory

I put no trust in my bow,
my sword does not bring me victory;
but you give us victory over our enemies,
you put our adversaries to shame.
In God we make our boast all day long,
and we will praise your name forever.
- Psalm 44:6–8

We may be strong and persistent, but only God can give us victory. The psalmist, when writing these words, knew this very well. Without God, our strength, and our will is not enough to achieve victory.

In fact, we must continue to praise God even in the worst moments, because only He can turn a difficult situation around. It is God who determines all things, and through Him we obtain victory. Seek growth, strengthen yourself, but above all, trust in God!

When we direct our efforts toward seeking God, we focus on what truly matters. In this way we grow in grace, from faith to faith and from glory to glory.

Trusting in God

  • We trust more in God when we learn more about His works. Read the Bible regularly.
  • Life is an exercise of faith. Exercising faith is an act of trust in God.
  • As we seek God, we know our limitations. This leads us to trust Him more than our own abilities.

Prayer

God, all ability comes from You. Even in the most difficult moments, only You can grant victory. Guard my life and strengthen me according to Your Word. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

Fearing is not the same as being afraid!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
- Proverbs 9:10

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom! Disrespect, on the other hand, is a step toward destruction. To fear God is not to be afraid, it is to have reverence and devotion.

Respect begins when we recognize that He is sovereign: omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. God knows everything, even what is in our hearts. That is why the fear of the Lord must be genuine.

The greatest proof of respect we can show to God is by obeying His Word. Those who truly respect Him listen to and keep His Word in their hearts. Whoever does this is wise and reaps all the good that God has to offer.

Do not be afraid of God, but understand that He is love and justice (Psalm 9:8).

Keeping the Word

  • Do not treat the Word of God as a puzzle to figure out, but see it as a manual for eternal life!
  • Develop intimacy with God’s Word, read it daily and meditate on what you’ve read.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. When we understand what we see, we learn to respect what we receive.

Prayer

Lord, You are powerful; You are love and justice!
Obeying Your Word is my delight, it is food and comfort for my soul.
Only Your Word leads to eternal life.
Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

A love that sustains us

May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
- 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17

In 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17, we are reminded of the unconditional love that has been given to us— a love that sustains us in the midst of storms. The grace of God motivates us to do good, both through our actions and through our words. May everything we say be filled with love and kindness!

When we feel weak or uncertain, let us remember that we are loved and cared for by God. May the Holy Spirit give us strength to follow the right path, even when things are difficult.

Let us show the love of Christ in everything we do, inspiring others to seek truth and justice. May our lives be an example of the power of the Gospel, bringing hope and comfort to everyone around us.

May everything we do honor the name of God, as we serve others with humility and compassion.

Sustained by the love of God

  • Demonstrate love through concrete acts of solidarity and compassion.
  • Choose words that build up and inspire, avoiding harmful judgments.
  • Keep a firm faith and seek God’s guidance in the face of difficulties.

Prayer:

Lord, guide us to do good with love and kindness. Strengthen us in hardships, inspire us to reflect Your love, and teach us to serve with humility. 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!
