Word of the Day: Make a Difference in Someone's Life

Jesus gave His life for you. That's a truth that fills us with joy, isn't it?

But the Bible tells us that as followers of Jesus, our duty is to do the same for our brothers and sisters. That's where things get tougher.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
1 John 3:16

When we see a brother or sister in need, our reaction should be to do everything within our reach to help. The passage challenges us to act in love by putting others' needs before our own, just as Jesus did.

Perhaps the Holy Spirit has brought someone to your mind right now. Don't waste time; act like Jesus. Go and help. Give of yourself. This is the greatest blessing anyone can receive. And it makes all the difference.

Yesterday's Devotional

Count your blessings!

Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits.

Psalm 103:1-2

What a wonderful invitation to engage in worship and express gratitude! In this Psalm, David calls upon his own soul to praise God and not forget any of His blessings. As the verses unfold, the psalmist lists various reasons why God deserves to be worshiped. This appears to be a valuable practice that teaches us always to be thankful to the Lord, for who He is and for what He has done for us.

As the lyrics of an old hymn go: "Count your blessings, name them one by one...". When we take the time to list them, we will be amazed by how much God has already done in our lives. Another encouragement is to testify to what Jesus has done. We should make an effort not to forget all the blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon us. And nothing is better than speaking, writing, or sharing testimonies about what the Lord has done. Even the simple act of breathing right now is a precious gift. Let's be grateful to God!

Count your blessings today!

  • Make a self-summoning! Awaken your heart to worship and be grateful to God.
  • Make a list of 10, 50, 100 blessings (or as many as you can!) from God in your life. Do not forget anything; enumerate all the constant benefits He grants you.
  • Pray, thanking God for everything He is and has done for you.
  • Worship, exalt the Lord, with gratitude and praise. Speak or write words of gratitude; sing praises to God.
  • Finally, share (tell others), testify to all the good that the Lord does.

Let's Pray:

Lord God! You, Lord, are worthy of all glory, honor, and praise! May my heart never forget all that You have done and will do in my life. I praise You for loving and redeeming me, sending Jesus to save us. Thank You because along with Christ, You have also granted me many spiritual and material blessings. Never let me forget all that You have done for me. Help me to recall and testify to what can give us hope. In Jesus' name, I thank You. Amen!"

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Believe that God Does the Impossible

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.
- Mark 10:27

This passage immediately follows the famous interaction between Jesus and the rich young man, a boy who wanted to know how to inherit eternal life. After Jesus demanded things of the boy that challenged his heart, the boy went away saddened, wanting the solution to be easier.

If he had stayed a little longer, he would have heard these words and left with some hope. Neither he nor we have earned our salvation, God has! Yes, The Lord has opened the way of salvation between Himself and us.

If God has done this, the impossible and unimaginable, imagine him tackling your daily problems! Nothing is impossible for the Lord, he just decides where and when he will work his miracles.

Seek the impossible

  • Knock and the door will be opened, ask and it will be given to you. Pray for what you need most!
  • Thank the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.
  • Realise that your faith can move mountains, just believe!

Pray:

Lord God, I thank you for opening the way between us, only you can do the impossible. Today I ask you to work in my life, I need your blessings and your help, come and meet me, Father! I ask this in the name of Jesus, 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.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
