A daily devotional to strengthen your relationship with God.

Today's Devotional

He does infinitely more!

"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, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21

Even if we think of something big for our lives, God has an even bigger plan! Even according to His Word, what we ask for is still little compared to what He has already prepared for us. So don't worry about what you want to receive, because God already knows what we want and has prepared something greater than what we dream of.

Now, to have access to what God has prepared for us, we need to obey and submit to Him. When we put His Kingdom first, he blesses us in every area of our lives.

He already knows what we need and dream of, so don't worry about how to achieve your dreams, think first about how to serve God in the best way and all the other things will be supplied by Him.

Being surprised by God

  • Change your focus, put your expectations on God and not on earthly things. That way, we are focusing on what really matters, and when we least expect it, we are surprised by Him.
  • Allow God to be part of your dreams and plans. He wants to be with you at every moment of your life.

Pray:

Lord God, I know that my plans are small compared to what you have prepared for me. I want to experience Your blessings, I want to serve You and focus on expanding Your Kingdom. For I know that all other things will be provided for by You. In Jesus' name, amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Living Proof

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born."

- 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

Many people have had to show evidence that they are alive. It may sound strange, but it's actually quite common that some people need to prove to financial or social security institutions that they are alive in order to access money/documentation. Doing this is quite simple, the person just has to go in person to the specified location and show themselves in the flesh.

Do you have proof that our Savior is alive? For Christians and non-believers alike, it is a historical fact that Jesus really existed. Non-Christian historians have also recorded the Lord's death and resurrection. The Bible tells us that after he was resurrected, Jesus not only appeared to his 12 disciples but beyond them to more than 500 people who could easily testify to this fact.

Hold on to this hope: Jesus, the living savior! Our faith is not based on a dead God. The cross and the tomb are empty to prove it. Jesus Christ lives! This is the reason for our hope and what drives the Christian faith every day.

What greater proof of Life?

  • Believe it! Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are historical facts attested to and confirmed by countless witnesses.
  • Seek the Lord with all your heart - Taste and prove the Lord's life.
  • Pray, andask God to reveal the full life of Jesus to your heart.
  • Thomas said he needed to see to believe and, like him, many also doubt. Jesus not only showed himself to Thomas, but he also offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. Don't doubt like Thomas, but truly believe!
  • Read, listen, meditate, and study the Bible. Faith grows as we understand the Word of God.

Pray:

Lord God, I believe that Jesus is alive! I believe that He came to bring us eternal Life and, even though He died in my place, He rose again for Your Glory and praise. I thank you for the countless proofs of life that Christ gives us in the Bible and daily as He walks beside us. Praise be to you for thousands of reasons to trust in the Lord and in your love. Thank you for life in Christ Jesus. Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Communion with the Word

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:3

It's interesting how God is interested in having communion with his creation. The Bible says that he has not abandoned the universe he has made, but sustains it and cares for it constantly.
In addition, the Lord was willing to have communion with mankind in a very special way. From the beginning, he went to the garden to live with Adam and Eve. Then he came in the person of Jesus Christ, lived with his disciples, dwelt among us... And he gave his children the Holy Spirit, a comforter who dwells with those who believe in Jesus (John 14:26).

In today's verse, John testifies that the apostles shared the gospel with us, everything they had seen and heard about Jesus. Their communion with God is passed on to us today through the Word. May this communion with God, with the Gospel and among Christians all over the world be maintained with you too.

Have communion with God this day!

  • Connect: God is present, even when you're not aware of it!
  • Talk to Him: prayer, praise, thanksgiving, and intercession are good ways to communicate with God.
  • Be connected to the Word: Read, meditate, understand, and practice! Seek to know God through the Holy Bible.
  • Walk in the footsteps of the first disciples. Study and understand the New Testament.
  • Gather in a Christian community: fellowship with other believers. Encourage brothers and sisters, share the faith, and live together in love!

Pray:

Lord, I thank you for your Word! It is living, and effective, and it transforms our lives. Help me to read, understand, and practice it with dedication and commitment. May I grow and remain in communion with you every day, through the knowledge of Jesus Christ. May the Word be a light to my life and always direct me to be closer to the Lord. 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.

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