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

Walking on the waters!

“Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” He said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Matthew 14:28-29

There are times in our lives when we will have to pass through storms; it's inevitable. But one thing we must not forget: God is on our side, even in the most difficult situations. It may seem like an obvious statement, but it's very common for us to forget about God when life's complications begin to appear.

We often only remember God when certain situations reach their breaking point. Storms like this are allowed by God for our learning and to stretch us to a higher level of faith in Him. Miracles only happen when nothing seems to have a solution anymore, and our faith is only put into action in this way.

After that miracle in the storm, Peter had the opportunity to experience something more. Obeying Jesus' word, he put his feet on the water and went to meet Christ, experiencing the supernatural. When we are with Jesus, we always have the opportunity to experience something more in our lives. And the more we learn from Jesus, the more we experience His power. Our faith is built up, and so we walk on the waters to meet the Creator.

Getting out of the boat:

  • Be attentive to listen to the voice of God. Pray, meditate on His word, developing more intimacy with Him.
  • Learn to identify yourself as someone who depends on God's help. He wants to see our growth in faith. God wants our spiritual maturity.
  • When your faith needs to spring into action, keep your eyes focused solely on Christ and His word. Peter walked on the water but sank because he lost his focus on external factors.

Let's pray:

Lord Jesus, I understand that all things work together for the good of those who love You. Please cultivate within me a heart that places greater trust in Your word. Provide me with the circumstances necessary for me to grow in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Cast your cares upon Him

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you

1 Peter 5:7

Casting our worries onto God is a simple and effective way to address the problem of anxiety. However, this attitude requires a certain degree of trust and total surrender. When we entrust to God what causes us anxiety, we begin to enjoy a surprising sense of peace and tranquility because we know that everything is in the best hands. Everything is under the control of the Lord of the universe, who cares for us.

What worries you today? Family problems, debts, studies, work, illness, the future? Whatever the cause of your anxiety, whether big or small, the Bible instructs us to cast all our cares on God. Entrust everything to the Lord in prayer. By doing this, you can rest in Him, trusting that God cares for you and will act according to His good will in all situations.

How to cast your anxieties on God today:

  • Pray, speaking to Him about all the issues that have been troubling you, and asking Him to guide and direct you.
  • Surrender everything without reservation and truly leave it in His care, because He cares for you.
  • Trust that the Lord will continue to take care of all the circumstances of your life.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, I want to cast all my anxieties on You... I place my worries and everything that has been troubling me into Your hands. I ask for Your help to rest in the Lord, trusting in Your care and Your great love for me. I thank You in advance, believing that Your peace can calm my heart. Amen!
