Today's Devotional
Whatever you do, do it well!
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.
Colossians 3:23
This is the most effective way to represent Jesus through our lives. By helping others and striving to do our best, we reflect the image of Christ in our actions. Though we may not always recognize its significance, those around us will certainly take notice. Our attitude and behavior can guide others to Christ. When we commit wholeheartedly to any task, our dedication resonates with others and inspires them.
We can lead people to Christ through our attitude and behavior. When we dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to any activity, people are touched by our commitment.
Jesus is the best example of serving and dedicating oneself wholeheartedly to a task. Even though He is God, He became a servant and served everyone with excellence, and love, giving His own life for us. His testimony and demonstration of love continue to resonate with everyone even today, transforming lives through His example.
Follow the Master, work with excellence as if you were doing it for God, not for humans, and you will reap good fruits!
A good testimony wins lives!
- We are people, just like everyone else, with problems and challenges. We don't need to pretend that life is all sunshine and rainbows, but how we deal with problems makes the difference.
- Having Jesus as our reference is the best way to act, giving a good testimony.
- The Bible serves as the manual and the ultimate reference for guiding us in acting with excellence.
- A good testimony yields good fruits. Stay persistent; you are on the right path!
Let's Pray:
Lord Jesus, help me to be a better person. I want to be a channel of blessing to the people around me. Mold my heart; I want to grow in faith and do Your will. Amen.
Yesterday's Devotional
God is the source of true beauty
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.Proverbs 31:30
Nowadays, appearance has become a key element in society. Looking beautiful and well-groomed has become almost an obligation. And to stay "in fashion" you need resources, which unfortunately not everyone has. Looking good may be important, but there is a limit: all appearance is superficial and fleeting.
Aesthetic beauty can be achieved with resources and products, but real beauty cannot be achieved with money. This beauty does not come from beauty, but from good deeds. A God-fearing woman will always be praised and will set an example for everyone.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and a wise woman builds her house (Proverbs 14:1). Try to attract the eyes of God and be a good example in your environment.
Beautiful in God's eyes
- Remember that beauty is fleeting, but wisdom makes us even more beautiful.
- Avoid using beauty as a criterion for a friendship or relationship, appearances can be deceiving.
- God protects us like the apple of His eye, seek Him out.
Pray
Lord, thank you so much for your affection. I feel beautiful in your hands, protected and loved. I want to learn more from you and grow spiritually. Amen!

Renewing our minds through Christ
A Living Sacrifice
12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Humble Service in the Body of Christ
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
Romans 12:1-3
Life is full of changes. In childhood, we have tastes that change as we enter adolescence. As adults, we no longer have the same perceptions as when we were young. We grow up and our minds change.
When we are born again (2 Corinthians 5:17), we die to the world and our worldly mind is also buried. We see beyond what our eyes can see, we see with the eyes of the spirit. We no longer cling to the desires of the world, but seek the things above (Colossians 3:2).
Transforming the mind is also part of being "born again". This transformation is daily and continuous, moving away from old habits and things that limit our mind. When we live God's Word, our mind is enlarged and we experience the real meaning of life, God's love.
Renewing the mind through Christ
- Becoming a new creation is an active process. Give up old habits and everything that distances you from God.
- The Bible is a manual for the renewal of our minds. Read it daily.
- Seek the company of those who are also seeking to renew their minds. Grow in communion.
Pray:
Lord God, I no longer have the same mind I had before. You teach me more every day. Help me to transform my mind, I want to think more about the things above, and I want to help more minds to be transformed by 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:
- 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.
- Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
- Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
- Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
- Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.
Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
