Today's Devotional

God's creativity is in you!

God is the supreme Creator, and His creativity is infinite! Look around and see the world He has made - the delicate flowers, the singing birds, the dazzling colors of the sunset. All of this is testimony to God's incredible creativity.

We human beings are the pinnacle of this creativity. God made us in His image and likeness, and that means we carry a piece of His creativity in us. He has given us unique gifts and talents to use for His glory.

When we use our creativity to do good, we are reflecting the image of God. We can create works of art, write inspiring music, solve complex problems and help those in need. Every time we do something good and beautiful, we are showing the world the greatness of our Creator.

However, we also need to remember that we are stewards of God's creativity. He has given us these gifts to look after and use responsibly. We must use them to bless others and to fulfil God's purpose for us.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- Ephesians 2:10

So remember that you are a work of God's creativity. Use your gifts to do good and glorify Him, because then you'll be living according to the purpose He has for your life.

God's creativity is in you!

  • Use your creativity to inspire others through words or actions that promote love, hope and compassion.
  • Face challenges with a creative mind, seeking innovative and effective solutions to the situations you encounter.
  • Develop your creative gifts by honing your skills and applying them to projects that glorify God and benefit humanity.

Pray:

Father, thank you that you are a creative God. Empower us with Your creativity to inspire, solve and improve. May our actions glorify Your name and bless this world. Amen.

Yesterday's Devotional

Make your mouth a channel of blessing!

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Ephesians 4:29

Our mouths are an important instrument for bringing the word of deliverance. And for this very reason, we must measure what we say and reflect on whether our mouth is a channel of blessing or cursing.

With our tongue we can heal or hurt. It's up to us to choose what we amplify with our mouths. With awareness of this responsibility, we must control our mouths so that we only speak what we really want to say. The Bible can help us develop self-control. More than a source of wisdom, the Bible contains words that heal and save man.

When we feed on God's word, we begin to speak what our heart is full of. More than that, we begin to act according to the Word and we don't say it with our mouths, but with our actions. May your mouth be a channel of blessing!

Being a channel of blessing:

  • Avoid speaking too much, try to think before you speak. The more we choose what we say, the more wisely we act.
  • Forget "constructive criticism", try to speak words that lift up your brother. It's not necessary to criticize in order to build, but rather to point out solutions.
  • The Bible is the greatest source of wisdom you can find. Whoever feeds on its words is a channel of blessing.

Pray:

Lord, make me an instrument in your hands. Use my mouth as a channel for your good news. From You I receive blessings, so may I - through my words - share Your love and favor. Amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

On what does your life depend?

"and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will giveyou many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
- Deuteronomy 30:20

Our life, longevity and well-being depend on just one thing: obedience to God. This is the cost of a life in the presence of Jesus. We mustn't forget that our relationship with God is based on love and commitment to his will. If we refuse to obey him, we jeopardise everything that is most important in life.

That was also the cost of living in the Promised Land: obeying the Lord. As much as they thought the Law was rigid, that there were too many rules, or that it was too difficult, the commandments were given to protect and help the people stay on the path.

Likewise, in our lives, God's commandments are good, they guide us and they are for our good. They enable us to live in God's presence and in peace with one another. The life of blessing that God wants to give us is linked to the obedience we give him in love.

The benefits of obedience are far greater

  • Pray and ask God for forgiveness if you have been disobedient to His Word.
  • Reflect: "It is better to obey than to sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22)
  • Obeying is a personal decision. Be careful not to follow bad examples and the influence of disobedient people.
  • God doesn't want your harm. On the contrary, obedience to what He determines will be the best thing for you.
  • "We ought to obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). Have priorities.

Pray:

Lord God, help me to obey you in everything, whatever the cost. Forgive me when I selectively choosing inwhich areas of life to obey you. I need to be honest and totally faithful to your Word. Help me to cling to you, because my whole life depends on you. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray and 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.

  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
