Today's Devotional

Building up others

Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
- Romans 15:2

To edify means to build, to raise up from the ground. As with any construction, it requires effort and intentional pursuit. Edifying is advancing in faith glory by glory, brick by brick! Once our faith is well-established, it becomes our responsibility to build up the lives of those around us.

Growing in Christ is not just about growing for ourselves. The Apostle Paul teaches that those who are strong in faith should support the weak. We must show compassion, patience, and tolerance toward brothers and sisters who are still in the process of growing.

When it comes to edification, we are called to act in a way that pleases and helps others, putting their need for spiritual growth ahead of our own interests. And in the Bible, there is no greater example than Jesus! He served at every moment, gave His life for us, and still today edifies us through His Word!

When we contribute to a brother or sister’s growth, we are strengthening the body of Christ! Being the Church means being part of one body, a collective body. So that all of us, with one heart, may glorify our Lord Jesus Christ!

Building Up Your Brother or Sister:

  • Invest time in someone’s life. Listen to them, pray with them.
  • Encourage them to read the Bible. Strength and understanding come through God’s Word!
  • Avoid accusations when correcting; instead, exhort in love and always point to forgiveness and new life in Jesus.
  • Share your experiences with God. Your testimony can strengthen someone’s faith.

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus, I want to pray for my brother’s life. Use me as an instrument of blessing in their walk. Pour out Your Spirit, who teaches, builds up, and strengthens. May we praise and magnify You together for all the good You’ve done in our lives! In Jesus’ name, amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Inspiration for your day

Waking up each morning is a precious gift that God grants us. It is essential to remember that every new day brings with it the opportunity to renew our hopes and dreams. God, in His infinite goodness, gives us the chance to start again, to be better than we were yesterday.

The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
- Psalm 118:24

You may be facing difficulties that seem insurmountable, but remember: God never gives us a burden we cannot bear. He walks beside us, offering His strength and comfort. When we feel weak, it is in the Lord that we find the power to keep moving forward!

The Bible teaches us that we must trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Many times, we do not understand the purpose of the trials we face, but we can trust that God is in control and that He has a perfect plan for our lives.

So rise up with the certainty that you are loved and cared for by a God who knows every detail of your life. Allow His peace and love to fill your heart and guide your steps. Face the day with courage, knowing that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

May each moment of this day be an opportunity to show God’s grace in your life. Be a light wherever you are, spread love and kindness, and allow the inspiration given by God to make a difference in your day.

Start the day inspired by God

  • Begin the day with prayer, giving your worries to God and thanking Him for His blessings.
  • Trust in God’s plan, even when you don’t understand, and seek His guidance constantly.
  • Spread love and kindness, being a light to others through your daily actions.

Prayer:

Lord, I thank You for this new day and for Your infinite goodness. Guide my steps and fill my heart with peace and love. Strengthen me in difficulties and help me to trust in Your plan. May I spread Your light and kindness to everyone around me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Have an encounter with the Word of God today

Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the Lord.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it.

2 Kings 22:8

When King Josiah began to reign in Israel, he was just a child and did not know the Law of God. Many years later, the Book of the Law was found in the temple and presented to the king. Upon hearing what it said, Josiah humbled himself and repented. He decided in his heart to fulfill everything that was written. The Bible tells us that he pleased the Lord by doing everything correctly.

How many of us would like to live in righteousness, bringing joy to the Lord?

Day by day we encounter choices and challenges, striving to steer our lives towards the best outcomes. Yet without a reliable compass, navigating life's waters becomes dangerous. Fortunately, the Lord has bestowed upon us His Word, a steadfast guide for our journey. Without embracing the Bible, how can we cultivate a personal relationship with Him? How can we bring Him satisfaction and joy?

The narrative of King Josiah serves as a powerful example of how we can proceed. Josiah did not know the Word of the Lord, but when he found it, he considered it valuable. He attentively listened, swiftly repented, humbled himself, and obediently acted.

We encourage you to have an encounter with the Word of God today!

Treasure it. Invest quality time each day to read and meditate on it. Reflect humbly, repent sincerely, and faithfully obey its guidance.

Getting started to know more today:

  • Rediscover the Word of God during your day.
  • Analyze the best time of your day to dedicate yourself to the attentive reading of the Bible.
  • Disconnect from distractions! Go to a quiet place and enjoy God's knowledge.
  • Pray and ask God to speak to your heart through His Word.
  • Take notes of passages, reflections, and personal discoveries you make in your reading.
  • Apply to your practical life everything you learn from the Word of God.
  • Share with others the richness of this knowledge!

Let’s Pray:

Lord, thank you for revealing Yourself to us through Your Word! Help me to love and devote more time of my day to better know the Bible, reading, listening, meditating, and practicing it faithfully. Like King Josiah, may I have a humble, repentant, and obedient heart to the Lord, always ready to fulfill Your will expressed in the Scriptures. Amen!
