Today's Devotional

Word of the Day: Find peace in all situations!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

In the passage above Paul hands us advice on what we can do in every situation to find peace. His solution is through prayer and petition. When we do this we receive the peace of God, which we are told will guard our hearts.

Later in the same passage, we see a little more of the character of Paul and how his peace is manifested:

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13

The Apostle Paul witnessed great miracles and had great success as a preacher, but he also suffered much pain, sadness, and persecution. Paul had many ups and downs, but he learned how to have peace and contentment in all circumstances.

He trusted in Jesus. When you trust in Jesus, you can find peace even in the most difficult times!

How are you feeling today? In all situations, pray and trust in God.

Yesterday's Devotional

Love drives out fear!

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

1 John 4:18

If we truly love God, why should we be afraid? Love drives out fear and draws us to God. He is our safe refuge, and nothing can overcome Him. Those who love God and follow His ways have nothing to fear.

The only thing that can separate us from God is sin. Sin brings guilt, and guilt leads to punishment. Therefore, the best way to overcome fear is to turn away from sin. Walking with God instills courage in us! When we are in His presence, we feel safe and confident in His power.

Strive to perfect yourself in God's love and feel secure. Drive fear out of your life and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding!

Expelling fear

  • Deepen your intimacy with God and seek Him through prayer.
  • Tell God what your fears are. Open your heart to God.
  • Read the Word of God. It helps us draw closer to God and dispel fear.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, You are mighty, and in You, I find security. Guard my heart. Illuminate my path to experience Your love every day. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Live under God's protection!

By his breath the skies became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
- Job 26:13

Many times, we forget God’s power and how capable He is of protecting us. This happens because, in our day-to-day lives, we turn our eyes to earthly matters and treat God's power as something distant. When we “look downward,” we forget the things above.

God’s actions are perfect and effective, in reality, He has never stopped protecting us. Only God knows how many times we’ve been delivered. Only He can clear away the darkness and drive away every serpent that surrounds us. We must make an effort, in faith, so that the daily challenges of life don’t shake our trust in God.

When we have a daily relationship with God, the sense of security is constant. Even in storms and hardships, when God is in our boat, all is well! Nothing can stop us when we are walking in the will of the Lord.

Let the Lord Act

  • The Lord is powerful to turn any situation around. Allow Him to intervene in your life, talk to God.
  • The more we read about what God has already done, the more we believe in what He can still do. Read the Bible.
  • Seek more fellowship with your brothers and sisters. Where two or three speak of God’s power, He is present.

To Pray:

Lord God, I want to surrender my life to You! In Your arms I feel safe, Your Spirit comforts me, and Your Word feeds me. Thank You for protecting me from danger and for loving me. 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.
