Today's Devotional
Do not conform to this world!
Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
Every year, the world presents us with patterns that often lead us away from God. There always seems to be some "new thing" that ends up consuming much of our time, inadvertently diminishing our devotion to God.
The pattern of this world does not align with the will of God. When we prioritize God, naturally, we will not fit into the trends of this world. This is only possible through the Holy Spirit, who draws us closer to God.
When we align ourselves with God's will, we gain balance and control over our worldly desires. As a result, we are no longer influenced by this world and begin to shine on earth, reflecting the will of the Father!
Transforming the mind:
- Seek self-control and balance through the Word of God.
- Exercise caution with the "new thing" that the world offers. Reflect on whether these trends might lead you away from God.
- What the world offers may be good, but what God offers is even better!
- Pursue sanctification, pray, dedicate a portion of your day to God.
Let's Pray:
Lord, the world offers me conveniences, but what You offer is even better! There is nothing more precious than Your presence in my life. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I can influence the world with Your Word. In Jesus' name, Amen!

What is your treasure?
"Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”."
- Acts 3:6
When the apostles were walking towards the temple, they saw a man begging for alms because he was crippled and couldn't work. Faced with such a needy person, being 'empty-handed' wasn't a problem, because the apostles had something more valuable.
Evaluate your life right now, is the most valuable thing something you can hold in your hands? You see, our faith in Christ is the greatest security we can have in life, and it is our path to salvation.
They trusted in the power of Jesus' name, do you trust that Christ's name can meet your needs? Just believe, get up, and go praise the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.
Take your Stretcher and Walk
- Pray to the Lord for renewed faith.
- Understand that your most precious possession is spiritual, not physical.
- Share this immaterial blessing of salvation with your neighbor.
Pray:
Lord, creator of heaven and earth, who healed that crippled man through the power of Jesus' name, I ask you to renew my faith. Help me to believe in your power to change my life. I entrust my needs to you and trust that you can help me. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

A call on those who make a difference!
" 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine."
Psalm 33:17-19
There are times when we seem to be drifting, everything seems to be heading for failure. No matter how hard we try, things aren't going well. It's at these times that we should stop looking for "earthly solutions" and turn our eyes upwards!
Are we putting God into our struggles, or do we only call on him when we've exhausted all our alternatives to try to solve our problems? Even with dedication and willpower, our victory comes from God! We may have strength, talent - even financial means - but without God, there is no chance of salvation.
God is faithful to protect us, even in times of scarcity. Trust in him, because the Lord protects those who fear him!
Call on those who make a difference!
- Seek God's presence, and ask for his direction.
- Having good conditions is not a sign that we are doing well. Seek God even more!
- If things aren't going well, cry out to Him! God is ready to hear your voice and wants to do great things in your life. Don't put it off.
Pray:
Lord, take care of me! Without you, everything I do is unsafe. My strength is limited and only your presence can make a difference in my life. Guide me with Your mighty hand. 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:
- 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.
- Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
- Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
- Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
- 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!
