Today's Devotional
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!
Yesterday's Devotional
Receive peace in all its forms
"16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you."
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Every day we have a gruelling routine of hard work and rushing around. All we want after those days is a moment of peace and rest. But sometimes, when we return home, we seem to get even more tired! It's at these moments in our lives that we should ask for help from the one who calmed the raging sea, Jesus.
Our God is the source of all peace, in his Word we find refreshment and help to sooth our hearts. To bring peace to our homes and work places, we must first start with ourselves. That's why the Word of God is so important: it nourishes us, and the Holy Spirit moulds us, giving opportunities for us to act differently.
As you turn to the King of Peace, may you rest in him. May the Lord pour peace into your home, your workplace, and your relationships with others. May God be with you and may his peace be lasting and fill every part of your life!
Experiencing peace in all its forms:
- Ask the Holy Spirit to shape your behaviour, transforming you into an instrument of peace and not war, of reconciliation and not division.
- Set aside an hour of your day to meditate and pray. Prayer and meditation on God's word nourish and comfort us.
- Reflect on how your attitude and behaviour can promote a peaceful and reconciliatory environment. Peace is contagious and those who seek peace do not go to war.
Pray:
Lord Jesus, I ask for your peace and your spirit to come upon me. May the anointing of love and peace overwhelm my life, my home and everywhere I go. Thank you, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Day Before Yesterday's Devotional
Recharging for a New Day
But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
- Isaiah 40:31
The day that has passed may have been difficult and demanding, but in Christ we find comfort in the certainty that with each new day we are called to renew our strength in God. The Lord is our inexhaustible source of energy and encouragement, ready to recharge us for the challenges that come with every sunrise.
Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that when we place our trust in the Lord, He empowers us to face each day with strength and faith.
As we awaken, let us recognize the importance of connecting with God through prayer and the reading of His Word. These moments are like a spiritual recharge that prepares us for the challenges ahead. As we seek the Lord’s presence, He strengthens us and guides us with wisdom.
May we experience each day the renewal that only God’s love can provide. May the assurance of His presence enable us to soar high, run without growing weary, and walk without becoming tired. Recharged by His power, we can face every challenge with the confidence that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. Amen.
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
- Psalm 51:10
Renew Yourself with the Word of God
- Cultivate the habit of setting aside time each day to read the Bible. Allow the Scriptures to fill your mind, renew your perspective, and strengthen your faith.
- Do not simply read God's Word, meditate on it. Reflect on its meaning and apply its principles to your life.
- Maintain constant communication with God through prayer. Share your concerns, joys, and challenges with Him.
Prayer
Lord, in Your infinite grace, I ask for guidance and strength. Lead me in the paths of righteousness and grant me wisdom for the challenges I face. Surround me with Your peace, renew my strength, and inspire me to live according to Your purposes. In Jesus' name, amen.

How to do your Daily Devotional
