Word of the Day: Use the internet wisely

¹⁵Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise,¹⁶making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:15-16

The internet is a powerful tool for sharing the message of Christ, but it also presents challenges. We should be wise when using it: avoiding harmful content, practicing discernment, using it to cultivate healthy relationships, and guarding our hearts.

If we don't control ourselves, we can end up wasting a lot of time that could be invested in our relationship with God or with others. In the Bible, we are called to use our time wisely, which we should also apply to internet use.

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7

Just because something appears on the internet doesn't mean it's good or true. Ask God for wisdom and discernment to know what builds you up and what does not. Guard your heart so that you remain pure before the Lord.

On the other hand, you can use the internet to spread the message of Jesus. It is a tool that can be a blessing to many people who have not heard of the Lord. Ask God how you can be a light and become a witness for Him online.

Read content that draws you closer to God and share it with your friends and family. Let the light of Christ shine through you.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

Yesterday's Devotional

Enjoying the peace of God

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27

We live in a challenging, competitive world in which it can sometimes feel necessary to hold an opinion and defend it at all times. This only leads to stress and fatigue.

When Jesus spoke the words of this passage to his disciples, he was going through a great time of persecution and tribulation. In this distressing situation, Jesus poured out his peace.

Only Christ can pour out peace during war. He alone can give us the peace that surpasses all understanding and calms our spirit. The peace the world gives is fickle and fleeting, but God's peace is comforting and eternal.

Receive God's peace and calm your heart, the one who has overcome the world is on your side!

Receiving God's peace

God has given us access to his peace, so seek it through prayer. Pour out your fears and anxieties to God, only He can comfort our hearts.
The Word of God comforts the soul and gives us direction. When we feel God guiding us, our hearts calm down. Seek God's Word.

Pray:

Lord Jesus, only your peace can calm my soul. I trust in your power and your Word. I want to enjoy your peace, so pour out your spirit on me. In your mighty name, amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

A cloud as small as a man's hand

"The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’""

1 Kings 18:44

Great things come about through simple details. When Elijah declared the word of the Lord to Ahab, Israel was going through three years of drought. God had already revealed himself through Elijah - humiliating the prophets of Baal - and the promise of rain brought great expectation.

When the prophet spoke this word, the sky was clear. After checking the weather seven times, a small cloud - the size of a man's hand - appeared from the sea. This sign was enough for Elijah to ask King Ahab to leave Mount Carmel before the storm hit.

The prophet was attentive to detail. Elijah didn't need to ask God for great signs and proof that he would keep his promise. This is a powerful teaching: if God has prophesied something in your life, don't wait for big signs, be attentive to the details.

Even great trees come from small seeds. The promises that God has declared in your life will bear fruit, trust in it, because it will happen!

It's going to rain!

More than having faith, we need to persevere in God. Without perseverance, faith does not last. Persevere in God's Word!
Be attentive, and ask God for wisdom and discernment.
If God has declared something in your life, it will come true! Follow the word you have received, and put your faith into action.

Pray:

Lord God, thank you so much for your presence in my life. Your Word transforms and enlivens. I want to build my life on your promises and I want to live the extraordinary in these days. Give me wisdom and discernment. 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:

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.
Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
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!
