Today's Devotional

His life is priceless and the cost was paid with love

"7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—
9 so that they should live on forever
and not see decay."

Psalm 49:7-9

Who could pay the price of a life? What value does a life have? The value of life absolutely goes beyond what we could pay, but God paid this price and rescued us from death.

Jesus gave himself up for us as a payment: life for a life. By sacrificing himself in our place, Jesus freed us from eternal damnation (Isaiah 53:5). No one else could pay that price but God himself.

God doesn't charge us for life, but wants us to recognize what He has already done. By believing in His sacrifice and accepting Jesus as our Savior, we can enjoy this endless life free of charge.

Thanks to him, we receive eternal life, and all because he loved us first!

Your life has value and the price has already been paid by Jesus!

  • Read the Bible; in it, we come to know our value to God.
  • Recognize the sacrifice Jesus made for you: thank him for it.
  • Talk about Jesus' sacrifice with your neighbors, everyone has value to him.

Pray:

Lord Jesus, thank you so much for your love and grace. You paid a price for my life that neither I nor anyone else could pay. Your sacrifice saved me, so I praise you with my life!
Thank you Jesus! Amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

Find meaning and happiness in God

"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalm 37:4

Timothy Keller, a North American Christian pastor, and author, said in his book "Counterfeit Gods": "If we look to created things to give us the meaning, hope, and happiness that only God himself can give, it will eventually break our hearts.."

Everything we most desire in life can only be truly achieved when we seek it in Jesus Christ. We often feel frustrated because we have placed our reason for living in people or things. But the Bible shows us that the meaning of life, true joy, and a sense of personal fulfillment can only be satisfied in God, who made us for His purpose and knows our hearts. Put your trust in Him, God can transform you into a fulfilled and happy person!

Finding meaning and satisfaction in the Lord

  • Seek God first! Looking for fulfillment in the wrong places will lead to disappointment.

  • Pray and give God your dreams and goals in life. He will give you what is best for you.

  • Trust God with all your heart. He can restore you and renew your hope.

  • Find the key to getting the answers you are looking for in the Bible. God's Word is a source of light and nourishment for your soul.

  • With Jesus, God gives you every blessing. Without him, you will never feel complete and happy.

Pray:

Lord God, thank you, because only in you can I find complete joy! So many times I have been disappointed and frustrated because I trusted in people, things or myself. Forgive me for seeking happiness in limited creatures and not in the Lord. The fleeting things of this life cannot satisfy the desires of my heart. But the Lord can do all things! Mold me and fill me with pure and true joy, in Jesus' name. Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Seems like it was yesterday

The Lord shall reign forever.

Exodus 15:18

Have you ever thought about the brevity of everything in this life? Years slip away, trends shift, tastes evolve, priorities change, and the needs of each generation transform... Many pages of our history become yellowed and forgotten as time marches on. With lived experiences, we lose the reckless fervor and attain maturity in our actions. Some dreams are left behind. But many victories are also achieved!

It's common to hear the expression "seems like it was yesterday." Indeed, time passes quickly without our realizing it. We trade the youthfulness of our bodies for the marks and lessons of life. Sometimes, the transience of everything leaves us worried about the future, but our sovereign God and His Word are eternal. He knows the end from the beginning. And He cares for you! Rest in this certainty: the Lord God will reign forever!

God is eternal and reigns forever!

  • Some things come to an end in life, and it's not always easy to deal with that reality. But God is eternal! In Him, you can securely and eternally place your trust.
  • The truth, grace, and love of God do not change or run out! He is the infinite God of mercy.
  • Praise and thank the Lord, for He reigns as the eternal King of Kings. He is worthy of all worship.
  • Find refuge and encouragement in the Word of God. Read it always, and be strengthened!

Let's Pray:

My God, You are my help forever! May my soul wait in You every day! May I feel Your care daily, helping me on my journey. You, Lord, are the only one who reigns eternally! Your love and Your Word have no end. Reign gloriously over my life, my family, and over all the earth! In Jesus' name, I thank You, 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!
