Today's Word
In Christ, we are better people
Such confidence we have through Christ before God. 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.
- 2 Corinthians 3:4–5
Christ has made us better people. Through Him we are born again and become new creations. We may have talents and qualities, but all of this value comes from the Lord.
Our ability comes from God; He is the source of our talent! Therefore, seek to honor God with the talents He has given you. Use your resources to exalt God, extend His kingdom, and bless others. Share God’s love in practical ways with your family, with those in your neighborhood, or with those you work with.
Do you enjoy cooking? Prepare a meal for someone who is unemployed or facing financial difficulties.
Are you a carpenter? Repair a cabinet or table for someone you know, free of charge.
Do you find joy in visiting and encouraging others? Go to a care home and spend time with some of them.
Do you like children? Offer to look after the children of single parents who may need a few hours to take care of tasks.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
- Colossians 3:23–24
There are many ways we can show God’s love to others. God has made you a better person so that you can extend His kingdom of love throughout the earth. Start today by using your gifts and talents to bless others in the name of the Lord!

Yesterday's Word
The Day of the Lord is drawing near
Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.
- Malachi 4:1-2
Today, many live as if this world is all there is. They show little interest in eternity or what may lie beyond physical death.
This passage from Malachi makes it clear: there is more. The Day of the Lord will come, a day when God will judge and distinguish between those who honored His name and those who rejected Him. The proud and self-reliant who felt no need for God will face the fire.
But those who fear the Lord, those who humbly acknowledge their need for Him, will see the Sun of Righteousness, Jesus, rise with healing in His wings. They will leap with joy like calves released from the stall. No more pain, no more uncertainty, no more death. They will live forever in the joy of the Lord.
You have two eternal paths: fire or joy. If you haven’t chosen yet, now is the time. Choose Christ today and receive eternal healing and gladness on the Day of the Lord.

Day Before Yesterday's Word
Jesus made us rise up
Jesus has given us the most precious gift: rescue from eternal sleep. Before we knew Him, we were spiritually asleep, lost in the shadows of sin and separated from God. But He came as the light that breaks through the darkness.
Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus Christ offered all of us the opportunity to awaken to eternal life. He rescued us from the grip of spiritual death so that we could experience redemption and salvation.
The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross was the price paid to free us from the eternal sleep of sin. Now we have the chance to live an abundant life in fellowship with God, awakened to His grace and infinite love.
May we always remember Jesus’ gracious rescue, and may our hearts be filled with gratitude for Him, who awakened us to the hope of eternal life at His side. Jesus is our light, our salvation, and our source of eternal life.
The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
- Mark 9:26–27
What Jesus did for us is similar to what He did for that boy. Before we encountered Christ, we were like the dead, separated from God because of sin. But Christ reached out His hand toward us and saved our lives. Today we can stand before God the Father and give thanks for everything Jesus has done for us!
