Daily Devotional

A daily devotional to strengthen your relationship with God.

Today's Devotional

God is the strength of your heart!

"My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever."

Psalm 73:26

By accepting our limitations, we recognize everything God has done for us. When we understand that everything comes from the Lord, we realize how much he cares.

Recognizing our weakness is not an excuse for sinning, but a reason to pursue God even more. When we don't recognize God's power, we have this false impression that we conquer all things with the strength of our two arms, when everything we receive is through the Father's grace.

God's grace gave the inheritance of Salvation and no amount of effort could repay the price paid on the cross. The strength of our arm is limited, but the strength that comes from God propels us to accomplish great things!

With God, we do more!

  • Recognize your limitations, and respect yourself. Understand that everything good comes from God.

  • Seek strength in the Word of God. It is effective in cooling our souls and invigorating our strength.

  • Don't feel weak, your strength comes from God. Seek the source, pray.

Pray:

Lord, you are my strength. When I feel weak, your Word invigorates me. I am grateful to You, because I know that Your hand has sustained me. Thank you Father, amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

Giving is better than receiving

"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
Acts 20:35

The Christian life is nourished by generosity, grace and love. This is a different logic to what we are used to seeing in the world, where greedy ambition dictates the rules in relationships, leaving many blinded by power, wealth and the desire to gain advantages. But in the Bible, we understand that:

  • it is by LOSING (the fleeting things of life) that we GAIN Christ (eternity with God) - Luke 17:33.
  • we must LOVE our enemies and PRAY for those who mistreat us - Matthew 5:44.
  • we need to FORGIVE those who repeatedly wrong us - Matthew 18:22.
  • it is better to GIVE than to RECEIVE - Acts 20:35


It is More Blessed to Give Than to Receive!

Christians are invited to exercise this lifestyle: to be more like Christ. He graciously gave everything for us! Go against the grain of the world, do as He did, and give yourself by showing love, forgiveness, humility and generosity. Following in his footsteps, give and invest in others.
Remember: in the Kingdom of God, we have already received the most precious GOOD in Christ. And the more we give of what He gives us, the more we receive back. The Lord rewards the generous (Proverbs 19:17).

Pray:

Lord, help me to be unreservedly generous, always investing in your Kingdom. Just as you have given us everything, teach me to give with love and liberality to those in need. May you increase and I decrease, Father. Transform my character and awaken in me a greater desire to give than to receive. In Jesus' name, amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

The Holy Spirit guides us!

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."
Romans 8:14

Everyone who has accepted Christ has God's Holy Spirit within them. It is the Holy Spirit who helps us and gives us direction for a full and blessed life. Through his presence, we can discern what we cannot see.

The Holy Spirit perfects us; the more we seek Him, the more we become intimate with God. When we seek the light, we automatically move away from darkness and it is on this path that the Holy Spirit guides us towards eternal life.

Let the Holy Spirit guide you!

  • Seek a genuine experience with the Holy Spirit. Sanctify yourself.
  • Before making any decision, put your situation before God. Let the Holy Spirit guide you.
  • Try to pray continually. Prayer connects us with the Holy Spirit.

Pray:

Lord, pour out your Spirit on me. Fill me with your power and guide me according to your Word. In Jesus' name, amen!

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.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:
