Word of the day: Seek God and show Him your face
Many times, we don't feel fulfilled in life because we don't seek God or allow Him to change us. Receive this truth today: He loves you and wants to transform your life!
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18
This verse invites us to deeply reflect on the spiritual transformation that occurs when we surrender to the Lord. It begins with the encouragement that all of us, as Christians, are called to live with unveiled faces. This means we don't need to hide who we are before God, for He knows us deeply and accepts us as we are.
When we turn to the Lord and seek His presence, something wonderful happens. We begin to reflect His glory, just as a mirror reflects the light shining upon it. As we behold the glory of God, we are transformed from glory to glory. This means that as we grow in our relationship with God, His image becomes more visible in us.
This transformation is not our own doing, but the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. It is He who enables us to grow spiritually, to develop the character of Christ, and to reflect His glory to the world. Therefore, our role is to continually seek God's presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us, and transforming us into His image.
May we embrace this promise of transformation, and daily seek the presence of God, so that with unveiled face, we may reflect His glory and be transformed from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.

God allows you to choose
See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.
- Deuteronomy 30:15-16
Today, robots are all the rage. There are movies that show robots cooking or cleaning homes, things that would make life easier for many. Robots fulfill their function when they do exactly what they are programmed to do.
Human beings are not like that. God did not create us as automatic robots. He could have done so, but He didn’t. He gave us free will and allows us to choose what we will do or eat even whether or not we will love Him. He longs for our friendship and love, but He doesn’t force us.
Of course, everything we choose has consequences. A good choice brings positive results and joy. A bad choice brings problems and headaches.
In the opening verses of Deuteronomy 30, Moses reminds the people of Israel of the importance of choosing to obey God. If they chose to love and obey Him, they would have life, abundance, and blessings. On the other hand, in the following verses, he warned them that if they chose to disobey God and turn away from Him, the consequences would be very harsh.
What will you choose today?
Faced with all the options life presents, will you choose to obey God, or will you go your own way and do as you please? God allows you to choose but remember, living in obedience to Him is always the best option.
I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.”
- Psalm 40:8

Day Before Yesterday's Word
Strong in the Lord
In modern society, a great deal of emphasis is placed on caring for the physical body. Some people spend many hours at the gym each week developing their muscles and physical endurance. There is nothing wrong with that—in fact, taking care of our bodies is important. But there is something even more important: caring for our spirit and strengthening our inner being.
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
- 1 Peter 2:1–3
When trials, problems, or illnesses arise, we can face them more effectively if we nourish our inner being with faith and trust in God. A weak spirit collapses under life's difficulties. But a spirit that is strong in the Lord can fight great battles with confidence because it knows it is not alone. It relies on the Almighty God and knows that in Him victory will come.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
- Deuteronomy 31:6
No matter what challenges we face, the Lord is with us. He will never leave us or abandon us. Therefore, we should not be afraid, for His presence will guide us through every adversity. Let us have faith, for the Almighty God is our strength and constant refuge, empowering us to face every obstacle with confidence and determination.
Prepare yourself for life's challenges, be strong in the Lord!
Become truly strong by learning to put on the full Armor of God. 🙏🛡️✨
