A daily devotional to strengthen your relationship with God.

Today's Devotional

He does infinitely more!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3:20-21

Even if we think of something big for our lives, God has an even bigger plan! Even according to His Word, what we ask for is still little compared to what He has already prepared for us. So don't worry about what you want to receive, because God already knows what we want and has prepared something greater than what we dream of.

Now, to have access to what God has prepared for us, we need to obey and submit to Him. When we put His Kingdom first, he blesses us in every area of our lives.

He already knows what we need and dream of, so don't worry about how to achieve your dreams, think first about how to serve God in the best way and all the other things will be supplied by Him.

Being surprised by God

  • Change your focus, put your expectations on God and not on earthly things. That way, we are focusing on what really matters, and when we least expect it, we are surprised by Him.
  • Allow God to be part of your dreams and plans. He wants to be with you at every moment of your life.

Pray:

Lord God, I know that my plans are small compared to what you have prepared for me. I want to experience Your blessings, I want to serve You and focus on expanding Your Kingdom. For I know that all other things will be provided for by You. In Jesus' name, amen!

God will provide!

7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

Genesis 22:7-8

These verses tell of a time of great trial that Abraham went through with his son Isaac. It's a well-known story in which God tests Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his beloved son. It was certainly an unparalleled test, but it was only a test because, of course, God didn't want the boy to die.

Abraham proved that he had faith and obeyed the Lord in everything. He knew that God, who had given him the promised son, was faithful and would, if necessary, resurrect the boy or provide the lamb for the sacrifice.

And so it happened! This story is the one place in the bible where the name for God is 'Jehovah Jireh' (Verse 14) ''The Lord my Provider! And in your life too, He will provide!

Like this story, sometimes our faith is tested. And even if we don't understand the circumstances, we need to trust in the Lord, because through the struggles we face, we learn to depend on Him more. Employment, health care, material resources, what to wear, etc. are all important needs, but seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:31-33). Place your faith completely in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because He will supply all your needs, in Christ, for His glory!

By faith, God will provide!

  • Trust God completely! He is faithful and fulfills His Word.
  • Pray and place your whole life in the Lord's care.
  • God will provide what you need. This is not always compatible with what you want Him to do.
  • Rest in God's provision, but work and take advantage of the opportunities he places in front of you.
  • Seek constant guidance in God's Word. He provides the wisdom you need to make the right decisions.

Pray:

Lord God, I want to thank you because you, Lord, have taken care of me. Even with difficulties, I believe that you are in control of my life. Provide what I really need, not what I want. Help my family, your church, my brothers and sisters in Christ and my friends in their daily needs. Bless our country and provide for the needs of our people, Lord! Give me wisdom to manage well the resources you give me. Open doors, Father, and do Your will in me. In Jesus' name! Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Believe that God Does the Impossible

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.
- Mark 10:27

This passage immediately follows the famous interaction between Jesus and the rich young man, a boy who wanted to know how to inherit eternal life. After Jesus demanded things of the boy that challenged his heart, the boy went away saddened, wanting the solution to be easier.

If he had stayed a little longer, he would have heard these words and left with some hope. Neither he nor we have earned our salvation, God has! Yes, The Lord has opened the way of salvation between Himself and us.

If God has done this, the impossible and unimaginable, imagine him tackling your daily problems! Nothing is impossible for the Lord, he just decides where and when he will work his miracles.

Seek the impossible

  • Knock and the door will be opened, ask and it will be given to you. Pray for what you need most!
  • Thank the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.
  • Realise that your faith can move mountains, just believe!

Pray:

Lord God, I thank you for opening the way between us, only you can do the impossible. Today I ask you to work in my life, I need your blessings and your help, come and meet me, Father! I ask this in the name of Jesus, amen!
