Daily Devotional

The parable of the lost coin appears in a series of sermons by Jesus about the Kingdom of God. In these illustrations, the Master shows practically how the lost are precious when found in His kingdom. The coin has no value when lost, but in the right hands, it can be very profitable to its owner. Likewise, when we are lost without our Savior, we have no value in the world. But when found by Him, there is celebration in heaven in celebration of the sublime rescue, for the high price paid on the cross.

The lost coin at home also makes us think about the important things we lose in our homes: dialogue, respect, understanding, peace, faithfulness, forgiveness, or, in short, love. These are very important values that we leave forgotten in some "drawer of resentment" or dusty behind some heavy piece of suffering. Seek to find these important principles for you and your family, and do not lose sight of them.

God has made you precious by being found by Jesus Christ. Make your home, your work, and the people around you precious through the care and love expressed by them.

You are a valuable jewelry box!

• Open your heart to Jesus Christ if you are still lost and without eternal hope.
• Pray and thank Him for having been found by the King. He has made you a precious and useful treasure for the Kingdom of God.
• Find your true value with Christ in the Bible. Read and study it daily!
• Reflect on your home and do a "general cleaning." Sweep away the dust of past grievances, forgive by removing the trash, and reorganize your home with love and dedication.
• Take the first step and recognize the real value of family. Find the "hidden treasures" in each person.
• Love people and use things, not the other way around.

Let's Pray:

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

1 Chronicles 29:13

This excerpt from David's song was the fruit of a great offering that the king made with the participation of all the people of Israel in the construction of the temple in Jerusalem. For God's work to be carried out, a great deal of involvement and effort was required. In the face of all that David rejoiced and praised God. When we serve the Lord, no effort is in vain!

Helping in God's work is like planting a seed in good soil. Every time you have the opportunity to serve God, don't just do it, do it with a grateful heart and you'll see how much God will do in your life by putting yourself at His disposal. God is a blesser and loves those who take pleasure in serving him.

Serve the Lord with joy:

• Try to integrate with the brothers and sisters of the church you attend. Make yourself available. By making contact, you will get to know more brothers and sisters and be more involved in God's work.
• When you serve in God's house, even in small tasks, keep in mind that every service is an offering of worship. At the end, prayerfully give your service to the Lord.

Pray:

Lord God, I want to thank you and praise you for all the things you have done in my life. Revive my heart so that I feel more and more pleasure in serving you. I want to serve as Jesus served! I want to rejoice more and more in your house! In Jesus' name, amen!
