Today's Devotional

Satisfaction in Christ

"Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
John 6:35

Jesus is the one who satisfies our spiritual thirst and hunger. In his teaching on the "Bread of Life", a crowd sought him out because they had seen the miracle of the multiplication and had been satisfied with the loaves and fishes.

But Jesus showed that more important than the bread that gives life to the mortal body, is the Bread that gives life eternally. Unfortunately, this teaching seemed too "harsh" for many listeners (John 6:60-66). Some were scandalized by the Lord's words and stopped following him.

Their expectations relied only on their immediate physical need: food. They forgot their state of spiritual needs and dangers; spiritual starvation, death, and separation from God.

Similarly, many come to Christ today in search of quick solutions to problems they have prioritized. They forget the most important thing is to come to Jesus and believe in Him, for complete and eternal satisfaction...

Who satisfies you?

  • Reflect for a moment: who or what satisfies your heart?

  • Pray and seek Jesus, just as a hungry person seeks food...

  • Remember: earthly provisions can bring some comfort, but never complete satisfaction.

  • Jesus is the greatest good capable of filling all the emptiness in your life.

  • Sinful habits give a false sense of happiness, but the consequences will be bitter. To be truly happy, only with Jesus!

Pray:

Lord God, thank you for the Living Bread that you sent down from heaven to feed us with Life in abundance! Jesus is the source of all satisfaction. Help me to come to Him in faith and feed on His Word daily. I thank you for the salvation and satisfaction I have in Jesus Christ. Through Him I will be sustained and happier every day! In Jesus' name, amen!

God is the source of true beauty

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

Nowadays, appearance has become a key element in society. Looking beautiful and well-groomed has become almost an obligation. And to stay "in fashion" you need resources, which unfortunately not everyone has. Looking good may be important, but there is a limit: all appearance is superficial and fleeting.

Aesthetic beauty can be achieved with resources and products, but real beauty cannot be achieved with money. This beauty does not come from beauty, but from good deeds. A God-fearing woman will always be praised and will set an example for everyone.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and a wise woman builds her house (Proverbs 14:1). Try to attract the eyes of God and be a good example in your environment.

Beautiful in God's eyes

  • Remember that beauty is fleeting, but wisdom makes us even more beautiful.
  • Avoid using beauty as a criterion for a friendship or relationship, appearances can be deceiving.
  • God protects us like the apple of His eye, seek Him out.

Pray

Lord, thank you so much for your affection. I feel beautiful in your hands, protected and loved. I want to learn more from you and grow spiritually. Amen!

Day Before 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!

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.
