Today's Word

God’s plans are better

Imagine the greatest blessing possible for your life... That’s nothing compared to what God wants to give you! The Bible says that God does far more than we can imagine. Don’t limit yourself to your own dreams, God’s plans are so much better!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20–21

Pray to God and ask Him to help you always walk within His plan. God’s purpose for your life is far greater than you can imagine. What God has for you will draw you closer to Him and help you feel completely fulfilled because you’ll be living within His will.

Do not resist God’s plan for you. Submit to your heavenly Father with joy and a determination to obey Him at all times. When you live within God’s plan, you will feel whole and satisfied. Begin walking the path God has prepared for you.

The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
- Psalm 37:23–24

In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the Lord establishes their steps.
- Proverbs 16:9

Choose to live within God’s plan for your life, and you will receive great blessings!

Yesterday's Word

Every day, until the end of the world

After His resurrection and before ascending to heaven, Jesus spoke some very important words to His disciples. He entrusted them with a special mission, and that commission extends to all of us who, since then, have accepted Jesus as Lord of our lives.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
- Matthew 28:19–20

As these verses say, we have a mission to fulfill: to make disciples of Jesus wherever we go. But we, the children of God, are not alone in doing this work, nor do we do it in our own strength. Jesus Himself promised us His presence and companionship every day, until the end of the world.

Do today the work that God has given you to do. Do it with determination and courage, because Jesus is by your side. He walks with you and enables you to share His message of salvation and to do great things in His name. Never forget that you have His presence and His help every day, until the end of the world.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
- Isaiah 41:10

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Jesus has arrived

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
- 2 Corinthians 5:17

George Müller spent his childhood and part of his youth far from God. The son of a tax collector, his goal in life was to make money in any way he could. He stole, lied, gambled, and took advantage of other people.

His father, worried about him, enrolled him in a prestigious school to study theology. George was happy because, in his view, this would allow him to become a pastor and earn easy money.

But God had other plans. George met a friend who invited him to a gathering in a house. There, George met committed Christians who loved God and lived according to His will. His life was transformed, and today George is known and remembered as a great Christian evangelist, founder of orphanages, and defender of the weak. Jesus came into his life and changed everything!

Do you know someone who seems like a lost cause? Don’t lose hope! Keep praying for that person, show them God’s love at all times, and invite them to fellowship with other believers. Pray to God to give you good ideas, because Jesus wants to reach their heart and transform their life.

You can be the friend, brother, neighbor, or acquaintance that God uses so that a hopeless life may receive salvation and impact the world. Ask God to use you to bring this generation closer to His kingdom. Be a precious instrument in the hands of the Lord!

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
- Romans 10:14–15
