Daily Devotional

It is not easy to say “Yes” to God. However, once we say “Yes” to God, we become God’s instruments of salvation in our world. St. Teresa of Avila says, “Christ has no body now but yours. Yours are the eyes through which Christ looks with compassion on the world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world.” God needs you to cooperate with Him.

No matter how dire your situation seems, always maintain a positive attitude. Trust that God is giving you the best for now and that He is leading you somewhere. Good days bring memories, bad days teach lessons, and worst days bring endurance. No matter how painful your experiences are, learn to look at the bright side.

Dear friends, it is always better to die for God’s sake than to live in sin. Nevertheless, when we stand for God, God never disregards us. Our Psalmist today sings: “The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want… He is true to his name if I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil will I fear… You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes.”
