Today's Word
Word of the Day: This is the greatest gift of all...
What is the most important gift in the Bible? Is it prophecy, knowledge, wisdom, or faith? No! The greatest gift of all is love. The Bible says that God is love and that without love, we are nothing. Love transforms us and makes us more like Jesus. The Christian life should be a life of love.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2
Any other gift you have been given should be used with love. If you use any other gift without caring for others, then you should go before God and ask Him for guidance, and to fill you with His Holy Spirit and His love.
God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
1 John 4:7-9
Do you want to be effective in your service to God? Do you want to transform this world for the glory of God? Do you want your life to reflect that God is the center and the one who drives you? Fill your heart with the most important gift: fill your heart with the love of God.

Word of the Day: God has the best for you!
God sees and knows what is to come. He knows our future just as He knows our past and sees our present. He knows our steps and signals to us which path we should follow. The Lord knows us well enough to protect us from wrong paths, especially from ourselves.
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.Isaiah 55:8-9
Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow. The future belongs to God, and He has already prepared the best for us. God's plans are always better than ours. He definitely knows what's best for you.
Every Christian should live NOT by what they see, feel, or desire but live by FAITH in Christ, based on His Word.
Our field of vision is quite limited, and sometimes we do not perceive the complete reality we live in. Believe that today's tribulation can transform into tomorrow's victory and joy. Therefore, continue to believe in the Lord's promises.
We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
God has already prepared the best, believe!
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Word of the Day: To whom do you belong?
We all belong to someone. We can be slaves to our sins or we can belong to God. When you believe in Jesus as your Savior, God frees you from slavery to sin and adopts you as his child. You belong to God just as a child belongs to their father! And God offers you all the privileges of being his child: the love, provision, and protection of God. But, we have to choose for ourselves to belong to God:
14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Joshua 24:14-15
The famous words of Joshua 24:15 are some of the last words of Joshua. He was an old man, who had led the people since Moses and had served God faithfully. In these last words of Joshua (Joshua 24: 2-23), he addresses the Israelites before his death. Joshua begins by reminding the people of the history of Israel, their time in Egypt, the exodus, and their arrival at the Promised Land. Joshua then reminds the people of all that God has done: delivering them from slavery, guiding them through the wilderness, and all the many victories God granted them over their enemies.
At this point, Joshua challenges the Israelites - Who do you serve? To whom do you belong? Joshua makes it a choice: the people can either serve the Lord wholeheartedly, or they can follow after the gods of the surrounding nations. Joshua makes his intentions clear: But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. In the following verses we can see that the Israelites respond positively, they declare their commitment to serve the Lord alone.
We have the same question to answer: Who do we serve? There is no distinction between who you serve, and who you belong to; they ultimately mean the same thing. You can't serve false idols, prioritize money, your career, or possessions, and think that you belong to God... so we should be very careful, and reflect on what it is we have made our priorities. Who do we serve? To whom do you belong?
