Today'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!

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.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

God is with you!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”."

Joshua 1:9

This was God's word of encouragement to Joshua when the people of Israel were about to enter the promised land. After the death of Moses, Joshua was newly responsible for leading the Israelites into their promised land. In front of thousands of people and without the company of their great leader, it was natural for Joshua to feel fearful or alone.

With the great challenges ahead, such as the battles to conquer Canaan, it would be reasonable to expect that Joshua would need to receive instructions for war, military strategies, or training to attack fortresses. But no. Joshua received what he needed most: encouragement, strength from God, and the certainty that the Lord would always be with him...

What great courage and strength we too can feel! The God who created the whole universe is by our side, helping us in our daily struggles.

With Jesus in your life, you can have this security and never feel alone! He is with you, wherever you are!

What do you need most today?

  • Believe that all you need most is God's presence with you!
  • If you feel fearful in the face of any struggle, believe that God is by your side.
  • Pray to the Lord, trust Him with your life and all your projects.
  • Seek God's guidance through the Bible, read, reflect, and believe.
  • Fill your heart with faith and security.
  • Trust in the Lord and He will help you in your daily struggles.

Pray:

Lord God, I know that you are present at all times. Help me to trust that everything I need most is in you. I believe that because you are with me, I don't need to fear evil or the problems that may come my way. Make me strong and courageous to win this day, with you by my side. 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!
