Daily Devotional: “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for…

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34).

When we allow anxiety about the future to take over our hearts, we lose the ability to clearly see what the present requires of us. Instead of finding strength, we end up paralyzed. God invites us to focus on today—to trust that today’s bread will be provided, that today’s burden is already enough. We do not need to stack up the days, nor carry the pains of a time that has not yet come. There is wisdom in giving each day its own measure of attention and effort.

And to live like this, with serenity and firmness, we need a secure reference point. The wonderful commandments of the Lord not only guide us, but also bring order to our minds and peace to our spirits. As we are guided by the beautiful Law that the Father revealed to His servants, we discover a healthy, full, and true rhythm of life. It is this practical obedience that enables us to fulfill each task of today with courage, without wearing ourselves out with the fears of tomorrow.

If you wish to be strengthened and live with purpose, turn to what God has commanded. The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Do not live as one who walks blindly, stumbling over what has not yet come. Walk with confidence, founded on the will of the Creator, and you will see how He reveals His plans to those who listen to Him and follow Him. -Adapted from John Frederick Denison Maurice. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Dear Father, I know that so often I worry about what is to come and end up failing to live well the day You have given me. Teach me to trust You more deeply. May I rest in Your care, knowing that You are already in my tomorrow.

Give me wisdom to use my time well today. May I faithfully fulfill all that You have placed in my hands, without postponing, without fear, without complaining. Lead me by Your Spirit so that my life may be simple, productive, and sincere before You.

Oh, my God, I thank You for everything. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a firm direction for my feet and a safe shelter for my soul. Your commandments are treasures of righteousness, life, and peace. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “Whoever is faithful in little is also faithful in much; and whoever…

“Whoever is faithful in little is also faithful in much; and whoever is unjust in little is also unjust in much” (Luke 16:10).

Nothing is small or insignificant when it comes from the hands of God. What He asks of us, no matter how small it may seem in our eyes, becomes great—because great is the One who commands. The conscience awakened by the voice of the Lord cannot be ignored. When we know that God is calling us to something, it is not for us to measure its importance, but simply to obey with humility.

This is exactly where obedience to the magnificent Law of God gains its beauty. Every commandment, every instruction revealed in the Scriptures, is a chance for us to be found faithful. Even what the world despises—the detail, the discreet gesture, the daily care—can become a source of blessing if fulfilled with faithfulness. The sublime commandments of our Creator do not depend on our judgment: they have eternal value.

If we choose to obey with courage and joy, the Lord will take care of the rest. He will give us strength for the great challenges when He finds us faithful in the simple tasks. May we be found obedient today, and may the Father, when He looks at our faithfulness, send us to His beloved Son so that we may receive eternal life. -Adapted from Jean Nicolas Grou. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Heavenly Father, many times I have judged as small the things You have placed before me. Forgive me for not recognizing that everything that comes from You is precious. Teach me to listen to Your voice and not to despise any task You entrust to me.

Give me a courageous heart, willing to obey You in everything, even in what seems simple or hidden from the eyes of others. May I learn to value each of Your commandments as a direct instruction from heaven. Do not let me measure Your will by my limited logic.

I want to live in constant faithfulness. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a flame that lights the steps of the righteous, even on the narrowest paths. Your sublime commandments are eternal seeds planted in the fertile soil of obedience. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths…”

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths” (Psalm 25:4).

There is something transformative about living with our eyes attentive to the details of our daily lives. When we realize that God takes care even of our smallest needs, our hearts are filled with true gratitude. Since childhood, His hands have guided us—always in blessing. Even the corrections we receive throughout life, when seen with faith, reveal themselves as one of the greatest gifts we have ever experienced.

But this awareness should not only lead us to give thanks—it must also drive us to obey. As we recognize the Father’s constant care, we understand that the most just response is to follow His powerful Law. The Creator’s amazing commandments are not a burden, but a gift—they show us the way of life, wisdom, and communion with Him.

Whoever walks this road of obedience lives under the light of the Lord. And it is in this place of faithfulness that the Father blesses us and sends us to His beloved Son, to receive forgiveness and salvation. There is no safer, fuller, or truer path than to obey our God. -Adapted from Henry Edward Manning. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Beloved Father, thank you for showing me that Your presence is in every detail of my life. Thank you for every small gesture of care, for every moment in which You sustained me even when I did not realize it. I acknowledge today that everything I have has come from Your hands.

I want to live more aware of Your will. Give me an obedient heart, one that not only praises You with words but also with actions. May my life be marked by faithfulness and by the firm decision to walk according to Your wonderful ways.

Lord, I want to follow You with all my heart. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a firm and constant melody that guides my steps. Your magnificent commandments are precious pearls planted along my path. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy…

“Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 24:3-4).

The final destination of all souls who walk toward heaven is Christ. He is at the center because He is equally related to all who belong to God. Everything that is at the center is common to all—and Christ is the meeting point. He is the refuge, the secure mountain to which everyone must ascend. And whoever climbs this mountain should not descend again.

It is there, at the summit, that there is protection. Christ is the mountain of refuge, and He is at the right hand of the Father, for He ascended to heaven after perfectly fulfilling the divine will. But not everyone is on the way to this mountain. The promise is not for just anyone. Only those who truly believe and obey have access to the eternal refuge prepared by God.

To believe that Jesus was sent by the Father is essential—but it is not everything. The soul must obey the powerful Law of God, revealed by the prophets of the Old Testament and by Jesus Himself. True faith goes hand in hand with sincere obedience. Only those who believe and obey are received by Christ and led to the place prepared by Him. -Adapted from Augustine of Hippo. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You because You have placed Your Son at the center of everything, as my firm rock and eternal refuge. I know that outside of Christ there is no salvation, and it is to Him that I want to turn every day of my life.

Strengthen my faith so that I may truly believe that Jesus was sent by You. And give me an obedient heart, so that I may sincerely fulfill all Your powerful Law and the commandments You delivered through the prophets and Your own Son. I do not want to merely ascend the mountain—I want to remain on it, steadfast in obedience and faith.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for showing me the way of salvation. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the steep path that leads to the summit of Your presence. Your holy commandments are like secure steps that draw me away from the world and closer to heaven. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot…

“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:33).

Jesus was more than clear: whoever wishes to be saved must deny themselves. This means rejecting one’s own will and submitting completely to the will of God. The person no longer seeks to please themselves, nor to exalt themselves, but sees themselves as the one most in need of the Creator’s mercy. It is a call to abandon pride and detach from everything—for the love of Christ.

Denying oneself also involves renouncing the charms of this world: its appearances, its desires, its empty promises. Human wisdom and natural gifts, no matter how admirable they may seem, should not be the foundation of our trust. The true servant learns to depend solely on God, rejecting all forms of confidence in the flesh or in created things.

This transformation is only possible when there is obedience to the powerful Law of God and a sincere attachment to His holy commandments. It is on this path of surrender and submission that the soul learns to reject pride, covetousness, carnal desires, and all the inclinations of the old self. To live for God is to die to oneself, and only those who die to the world can inherit what is eternal. -Adapted from Johann Arndt. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for calling me to a life of total surrender. You know how weak my will is and how prone to error, and yet You invite me to live for You.

Help me to deny myself each day. May I not seek my own interests, nor trust in my gifts, nor desire the vanities of this world. Teach me to renounce who I am and what I have, for the love of Your Son, and to obey with all my heart Your powerful Law and Your holy commandments.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You offer me a new life, far from the slavery of my ego and close to Your heart. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the narrow path that leads to true freedom. Your perfect commandments are like swords that cut away the old self and reveal the beauty of obedience. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to…

“To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy” (Jude 1:24).

It is written about Abraham that he did not waver concerning the promise. This is the kind of steadfastness God desires to see in all who trust in Him. The Lord wants His people to walk with such stability that not even a tremor is noticed among their ranks, even when facing the enemy. The strength of the spiritual walk lies in consistency—even in the small things.

But it is precisely these “small things” that most often cause people to stumble. Most falls do not come from great trials, but from distractions and attitudes that seem insignificant. The enemy knows this. He prefers to bring down a servant of God with something as light as a feather, rather than with a great attack. This gives him more satisfaction—to win with almost nothing.

That is why it is essential that the soul be grounded in the powerful Law of God and in His beautiful commandments. It is through this faithful obedience, even in the smallest decisions, that the servant of God remains steadfast. When life is aligned with the Creator’s will, stumbling becomes rare, and the walk becomes steady, courageous, and victorious. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You because You call me to a steady, secure walk, without wavering. You desire that I move forward with confidence, not letting myself be carried away by small things.

Help me to be attentive to the details of my daily life, so that nothing causes me to stumble. Give me a disciplined heart, one that values even the smallest acts of obedience. May I never underestimate the small temptations, but face everything with courage, trusting in Your Law and faithfully obeying Your commandments.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because You sustain me with every step. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like solid stone beneath my feet. Your beautiful commandments are like marks along the path, keeping me from going astray and guiding me with love. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children…

“For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just” (Genesis 18:19).

God looks for people in whom He can trust. That is what He declared about Abraham: “I know him”—such a strong statement of trust that it allowed all the promises made to Abraham to be fulfilled. God is absolutely faithful, and He desires that human beings also be steadfast, stable, and trustworthy.

This is exactly what true faith represents: a life of decision and consistency. God seeks hearts in which He can place the weight of His love, His power, and His faithful promises. But He only entrusts His blessings to those who truly obey Him and remain steadfast even when they do not understand everything.

Practical faithfulness begins with obedience to the mighty Law of God and the fulfillment of His wonderful commandments. When a soul is found faithful, God sets no limits to what He is willing to do for them. His trust rests upon those who walk in His ways with integrity, and not a single promise will fail to be fulfilled. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for being a God who desires to trust in me. You are completely faithful, and You expect me also to live with steadfastness and obedience before You.

Make me a stable, trustworthy person, determined to obey You in everything. May I not be led by emotions or inconsistencies, but may my life be founded on Your mighty Law and Your wonderful commandments. I want You to be able to say, “I know him,” as You said of Your servant Abraham.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for desiring partnership with me in Your work. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the firm foundation upon which I build my faithfulness. Your commandments are like pillars of truth, upon which I can live with steadfastness and peace. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

“Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in His holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart” (Psalm 24:3-4).

It is certainly not wrong to think and speak about heaven. It is natural to want to know more about the place where the soul will live for all eternity. If someone were moving to a new city, they would ask questions about the climate, the people, the environment—they would try to learn everything they could. And, after all, we are all about to move to another world, an eternal world where God reigns.

It makes sense, then, to seek to know this eternal destination. Who is already there? What is that place like? And above all, what is the way that leads to it? These questions are important, for we are not talking about a temporary trip, but a permanent dwelling. Heaven is real—and it is reserved for those who have been approved by the Lord.

But this approval does not come by assumptions or good intentions, but by obedience to the powerful Law of God and the fulfillment of His perfect commandments. Those who will inherit this glorious world are those who have chosen to live here according to the ways of the Creator. Seeking heaven requires living in a manner worthy before God, with faithfulness and reverence. -Adapted from D. L. Moody. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for having prepared an eternal place for those who love You and obey You. Heaven is real, and I want to be with You in that glorious world where You reign in holiness.

Place in my heart a true desire to know You more, to walk in Your ways, and to prepare myself seriously for eternity. I do not want to live distracted by passing things, but rather focused on Your will and steadfast in Your powerful Law and Your holy commandments.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for giving me hope of a life without end at Your side. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the map that guides the steps of the righteous to the gates of Your dwelling. Your perfect commandments are like sure signs pointing the way to heaven. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: “Teach me to do Your will, for You are my…

“Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground” (Psalm 143:10).

The highest spiritual condition is that in which life flows spontaneously and naturally, like the deep waters of Ezekiel’s river, where the swimmer no longer struggles but is carried powerfully by the current. This is the state in which the soul does not need to force itself to do good—it moves in the rhythm of divine life, guided by impulses that come from God Himself.

But this spiritual freedom does not arise from a fleeting feeling. It is built with effort, discipline, and faithfulness. Deep spiritual habits begin, like any true habit, with a clear act of will. One must choose to obey—even when it is difficult—and repeat that choice until obedience becomes a natural part of one’s being.

The soul that desires to live this way must stand firm in the powerful Law of God and practice His beautiful commandments. It is through this repeated faithfulness that obedience ceases to be a constant effort and becomes a spontaneous movement of the soul. And when this happens, the person is led by the very Spirit of the Lord, living in communion with heaven. -Adapted from A. B. Simpson. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for desiring that my spiritual life be firm, free, and full of Your presence. You do not call me to a life of empty striving, but to a walk in which obedience becomes joy.

Help me to choose what is right, even when it is difficult. Give me discipline to repeat what is good until it becomes part of who I am. I want to form in myself the holy habits that please You, and I want to stand each day more firmly in Your Law and Your commandments, for I know that in them is true life.

Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You because You Yourself strengthen me to obey. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the path where my soul learns to walk without fear. Your beautiful commandments are like the currents of a heavenly river, drawing me ever closer to You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional: Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever…

“Without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever approaches him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

Abram began his journey without knowing where God would lead him. He obeyed a noble calling, even without understanding what it would bring. He simply took a step, without demanding explanations or guarantees. This is true faith: doing God’s will in the present and entrusting the results to Him.

Faith does not need to see the whole path—it only needs to focus on the step God has commanded now. It is not about understanding the entire moral process, but about being faithful in the moral action that lies before you. Faith is immediate obedience, even without complete clarity, because it fully trusts the character of the Lord who commands.

This living faith is expressed in obedience to the powerful Law of God and His amazing commandments. Whoever truly believes obeys without hesitation. The faithful soul acts according to the will of the Creator and leaves direction and destiny in His hands. It is this trust that makes obedience light and the journey secure. -Adapted from John Jowett. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.

Pray with me: Lord my God, I thank You for calling me to walk with You, even when I cannot see the whole way. You do not reveal everything to me at once, but invite me to trust step by step.

Help me to live this true faith—not just in words, but in actions. Give me courage to obey even without understanding everything, and faithfulness to fulfill what You have already revealed to me in Your Law and Your commandments. May my heart not be distracted by the future, but remain firm in what You require of me today.

Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You are worthy of all trust. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the firm path where I can step without fear. Your wonderful commandments are like lights shining at every step, guiding me with love. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
