Today'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.

Yesterday's Devotional

Grace and truth

Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through.

John 1:16-17

God's Law, given through Moses, revealed who we truly are and the greatness and holiness of God. Through it, we see how far we are from reaching God's goodness and excellence. The commandments of the Lord are not just ordinances, but love and life for those who obey them. Without the help of the Lord, we know that man has failed, unable to fulfill God's will - it is impossible through our own merits...

But thanks be to God for Jesus Christ! By coming into the world, He personified the grace and truth of God for mankind. He not only brought and conveyed instructions but lived fulfilling the law in all its fullness. Jesus demonstrated in practice how man should be toward God and showed God's love and life toward man. Walk in the grace and truth of Jesus. He helps you and grants you victory and abundant life!

Grace upon Grace!

  • Pray and ask God to help you understand and live out the truth and grace through Jesus Christ.
  • Be grateful! Jesus personally brought the ultimate solution to our inadequacy before God.
  • Seek to know the Bible more deeply. Through it, you will discover how to please the Lord.
  • Read the Gospel of John and try to identify other passages that speak of God's grace and truth.
  • Take note of the references you find and what you are learning from them.
  • Share with others what you have discovered about the truth and grace of Jesus.

Let's Pray:

Lord God, thank you very much for sending us, Jesus! Through him, we receive salvation and forgiveness for our failures. In Jesus, we also have the exact model of how we can please you, obey, and love. This is wonderful because, on our own, we could not... Teach us to always walk on this path, which is Christ. The path of truth, grace, love, and life. Help me reflect Your fullness and endless grace to the world! In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

A love that lasts forever!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever!

Psalms 136:1

The love of God is something that transcends time and cannot be measured. How do we classify this love? It's a love that conquers death, overcomes pain, forgives, and heals. Another characteristic of this love is that it lasts forever!

In the face of this unconditional love, why do we sometimes feel alone? If God's love lasts forever, why do we have moments of tribulation? These and other questions may have already crossed our minds. God's love does not diminish and neither does it abandon us. What happens is that many times we distance ourselves from God because of sin, and sin precisely blocks us from this love.

But do not be sad, there is a way to return to the Father's arms! It will require effort, humility, and an open heart. God is merciful and has already forgiven us of all sin, but to validate it we must ask for forgiveness and place ourselves before God. God's love drives out any feeling of condemnation. God is good, and his love lasts forever!

Experiencing this love:

  • Read the Gospel and see the greatest proof of love that humanity can know: Jesus Christ.
  • Jesus is alive and is among us! Pray, seek Him. Love is a relationship.
  • Spread this love with others. God's love is practical and bears fruit.

Let's Pray:

Lord Jesus! I want to experience more of Your love. Pour Your peace into my heart and make me a channel of love for my neighbor. I want to experience this love more and more! 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.
