Happiness Comes from Harmony and Humility

“Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being . . . He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”


Philippians 2:6-8 (NLT)


Happiness comes from harmony, and harmony comes from humility. If you want to be a humble person, you have to learn to ask yourself this question: “What would Jesus do?”

What would Jesus do in this problem? What would Jesus do for that person who’s hurting? What would Jesus do at the office? On the golf course? In your marriage?

Ask this question, and you’ll always come up with a humble answer that builds harmony and happiness rather than difficulty, defeat, bitterness, and resentment.

So, what does it mean to act like Jesus? Philippians 2 gives three examples:

Don’t demand what you think you deserve. “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to” (Philippians 2:6 NLT).

Do you realize how countercultural it is to give up your right to something? Yes, you have rights, but there’s a better way to get your needs met than demanding your rights. You can be tender without surrender, and you can be understanding without demanding.

Look for ways that you can serve. “Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being” (Philippians 2:7 NLT).

If you want to be like Jesus, you’re going to have to learn to serve. Serving is a habit you can develop. And it starts not in the big things in life, but in the little things. God tests your humility every day in the little things, and then it’s shown in the big things. Character is revealed in the great crises of life, but it’s built in the little day-to-day things, like returning the grocery cart to the cart corral. 

Do what’s right, even when it’s painful. “He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8 NLT).

This is what it means to act like Jesus. What did Jesus do, even when he was in pain? He was understanding, not demanding of what he deserved. He looked for ways to serve. And he was a servant in every situation.

Jesus is the ultimate model of humility, and God gave him the greatest honor in the universe. God honors your humility, too, when you follow Jesus’ example.

No dejes que tu Conciencia sea tu Guía

Cada emoción es temporal, ya sea buena o mala. Puedes estar fascinado en Disneyland, pero no va a durar. Puedes estar eufórico después de haber ganado un juego, pero no va a durar. Puedes estar muy entusiasmado por tu boda, pero eventualmente vas a darte cuenta de que cada matrimonio tiene sus altos y sus bajos. Lo mismo sucede con los sentimientos negativos. Si estás desalentado, enojado o triste, no va a durar. Las emociones no son permanentes.

¿Alguna vez escuchaste a un creyente decir, “Simplemente deja que tu conciencia te guíe”? Es cierto que Dios te dio una conciencia para que ayude a guiarte. Pero no es infalible. Tu conciencia puede estar equivocada. ¡La conciencia de cualquiera de nosotros puede estar equivocada! Proverbios 14:12 dice, “Hay caminos que al hombre le parecen rectos, pero que acaban por ser caminos de muerte” (NVI).

Puedes dejar que las emociones te guíen o te confundan o puedes elegir ser guiado por la Palabra de Dios que nunca te va a defraudar, y siempre terminará en vida.

Reflexiona sobre esto :  

¿Has experimentado un tiempo en que tus emociones te guiaron mal? ¿Cuándo te diste cuenta de que te habían apartado del camino?¿Cómo puedes describir la diferencia entre tu conciencia y el Espíritu Santo?¿Por qué piensas que Dios nos dio una conciencia si no siempre nos guía a hacer lo correcto?Síguenos en Instagram  & Facebook Si todavía no has confiado en Jesús y no te has comprometido a seguirlo, ¿por qué esperar más? Si estás listo para cruzar esa línea y tomar la decisión de creer en Jesucristo y seguirlo; haz esta oración .

Give the Gift of Your Attention

“Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.”


Philippians 2:4 (NCV)


When you walk into a meeting, how many people are sitting there, looking at their phones, texting or scrolling social media? Our heads seem to be always down, engrossed in a video or game, and our earbuds keep us from hearing the people near us. It’s so easy to sit in a restaurant with friends yet be more concerned about our “friends” on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram.

You may be hanging out with two friends, but you’re more focused on tweeting to 100! Then you’re worried about how many people are retweeting it or liking your post. It’s all about you instead of the people God has placed right in front of you.

We live in a world where our tools and technology have left us perpetually distracted and trained us to no longer pay attention to the people in our lives. 

If you want to have happier relationships, you need to learn the lost art of paying attention.

The Bible says in Philippians 2:4, “Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others” (NCV).

This doesn’t come naturally, does it? Based on your nature, you may not care what someone else is interested in. Based on your nature, you usually want the attention on yourself, not the other person.

But the greatest gift you can give somebody is your attention—because your attention is your time, and your time is your life. You’re never going to get your time back, and that’s why it is so precious when you give it.

This is a simple but powerful tool in growing strong relationships. Are you interested in what your kids are interested in? Do you listen to what your partner has to say? Do you give your coworkers your attention when they speak to you? Do you notice your neighbors as you walk by their home in the morning?

Learning the lost art of paying attention is an act of love. It will transform your relationships and help you live a happy life.

In what ways does social media keep you from developing relationships with the people you live and work with?
How do you show people that you are truly paying attention to what they are saying or doing?
What one change can you make in your life so that you are giving more attention to others?

No puedes Confiar en tus Circunstancias para que te Guíen

“Me complace hacer tu voluntad, Dios mío, pues tus enseñanzas están escritas en mi corazón”. Salmo 40:8 (NTV)

Si deseas conocer la voluntad de Dios, debes parar de ser guiado por tus circunstancias.

Quizás te estés rascando la cabeza preguntándote, “Espera un momento —¿no es que Dios dirige mis circunstancias?” Sí, Dios quiere dirigir tus circunstancias, pero nunca debes dejar que tus circunstancias sean tu guía.

Por ejemplo, piensa en la historia de Jonás. Dios le dijo a Jonás que fuera a Nínive y predicara allá. Jonás le respondió a Dios que no iría y se fue en la dirección opuesta. Estas son las circunstancias: había un barco en el puerto esperando para zarpar hacia Tarsis; Jonás tenía el dinero para el pasaje; en el barco había lugar para que Jonás viajara; Jonás se embarca. Con todos los detalles alineados para que él viajara a Tarsis, él podría haber pensado fácilmente, “esta debe ser la voluntad de Dios”. Pero ¿acaso no terminó siendo una decisión equivocada? ¡No puedes confiar solo en las circunstancias!

La Biblia está llena de ejemplos de circunstancias que parecían prometedoras y terminaron en desastre.

En Hechos 27, Pablo había sido llevado a Roma como prisionero. La noche anterior a la fecha de la partida de su barco, Dios le dijo a Pablo durante su oración que el barco se encaminaría directo a una tormenta. Pablo se lo comunicó a los marineros y al capitán, “Señores, veo que nuestro viaje va a ser desastroso y que va a causar mucho perjuicio tanto para el barco y su carga como para nuestras propias vidas” Hechos 27:10 (NVI).

Desafortunadamente, las circunstancias evitaron que los hombres escucharan a Pablo: “Cuando comenzó a soplar un viento suave del sur, creyeron que podían conseguir lo que querían, así que levaron anclas …Poco después se nos vino encima un viento huracanado, llamado Nordeste, que venía desde la isla.  El barco quedó atrapado por la tempestad y no podía hacerle frente al viento, así que nos dejamos llevar a la deriva… a duras penas pudimos sujetar el bote salvavidas” Hechos 27:13-16 (NVI).

Esta es la historia de muchos creyentes que confían en las circunstancias. Las circunstancias parecían buenas, pero se transformaron en desastrosas.

Las circunstancias pueden guiarte por el camino equivocado. Puedes malinterpretarlas, puedes depositar en ellas una fe sin garantías, y Satanás puede manipularlas. Así que siempre chequea tus circunstancias con la Palabra de Dios.

Reflexiona sobre esto :  

Piensa en algún momento en que pensaste que algo circunstancial era una puerta abierta. ¿Esas circunstancias confirmaron la voluntad de Dios o te desviaron del camino?¿Por qué a veces es más fácil seguir nuestras circunstancias que la voluntad de Dios?¿Cómo puede Dios usar tus circunstancias para ayudar a dirigirte en el camino que debes seguir?Síguenos en Instagram  & Facebook Si todavía no has confiado en Jesús y no te has comprometido a seguirlo, ¿por qué esperar más? Si estás listo para cruzar esa línea y tomar la decisión de creer en Jesucristo y seguirlo; haz esta oración .

Don’t Let Pride Be Your Guide

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”


Philippians 2:3 (NIV)


Every conflict that you go through in a relationship has an element of pride mixed into it.

What is the middle letter of the word “pride”? I. What’s the middle letter of the word “crime”? I. What’s the middle letter of the word “sin”? I.

We have an “I” problem! “I” want what “I” want, and “I” want it now—and that causes all kinds of problems. In fact, pride is the root of every other sin. So, in any relationship, never let pride be your guide.

The Bible says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves” (Philippians 2:3 NIV).

In this verse, Paul points out two conflict-creating kinds of pride. One of them is selfish ambition, and the other is vain conceit. Selfish ambition says, “It’s all about me.” Vain conceit believes, “I’m always right.”

Selfish ambition causes all kinds of problems. James 3:16 says, “Where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice” (NIV). When you find confusion in your workplace, your church, your home, your marriage, and even the government, you can know that selfish ambition and jealousy are causing it.

Vain conceit is the attitude that you are always right. Another translation of Philippians 2:3 says, “Don’t live to make a good impression on others” (TLB). People do this in every area of life, but it’s especially obvious on social media; it’s a great temptation to make yourself look better on the Internet than you really are. 

In Galatians, Paul lists many effects of living with pride. He says that, when you live a self-centered life, it shows up in all kinds of ways. He mentions some obvious things—like self-indulgence showing up in sexual immorality and wild partying and getting drunk.

But most of the things on the list are relational sins. Galatians 5:19-21 says, “When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear . . . quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy . . . Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God” (NLT).

Pride leads to all kinds of relational discord.

If you want to be happy in your relationships, you’ve got to have harmony. And if you’re going to have harmony, you’ve got to have humility. Never let pride be your guide.

¿Tus amigos son Guiados por el Mundo o por la Palabra?

“Camina con sabios y te harás sabio; júntate con necios y te meterás en dificultades”. Proverbios 13:20 (NTV)

Una de las cosas que hace que las personas pierdan el plan de Dios, es la presión de los compañeros. La mayoría de nosotros sabemos lo que es eso cuando fuimos niños o adolescentes, pero esa presión en realidad continúa en la edad adulta. Hay muchos malos consejos flotando por ahí, y muy a menudo nos sentimos presionados por seguirlos. 

Proverbios 13:20 dice, “Camina con sabios y te harás sabio; júntate con necios y te meterás en dificultades”.

No puedes volar con las águilas si estás corriendo con los pavos, así que elige a tus amigos con prudencia. Si te mantienes en compañía de amigos sabios, serás sabio.

Todos nos preocupamos por la contaminación del aire y la contaminación del agua. ¿Alguna vez te has preocupado por la contaminación mental? Si deseas seguir la dirección de Dios, asegúrate de que tu consejo sea de la fuente correcta.

La Biblia dice en 1 Juan 3:7, “¡que nadie los engañe! Todo el que obedece a Dios es tan justo como lo es Jesús” (TLA).

La diferencia entre un termómetro y un termostato es que un termómetro refleja la temperatura del ambiente y un termostato establece la temperatura del ambiente. Todos los días, te enfrentas a una decisión: ¿vas a ser un termostato o un termómetro?

Reflexiona sobre esto:

¿Quiénes son las personas que más influyen en ti?¿Crees que Dios quiere que seas amigo de los incrédulos? ¿Por qué o por qué no?¿Cómo puede una persona que es más tranquila o menos abierta que otras, ayudar a establecer la temperatura de su entorno?Síguenos en Instagram  & Facebook Si todavía no has confiado en Jesús y no te has comprometido a seguirlo, ¿por qué esperar más? Si estás listo para cruzar esa línea y tomar la decisión de creer en Jesucristo y seguirlo; haz esta oración .

To Get Happiness, Give Your Life Away

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”


Philippians 1:21 (NIV)

Happiness comes from serving and giving your life away. Until you understand this, you’re going to struggle to be happy in your life. Happiness comes from self-sacrifice, not self-gratification. 

The Apostle Paul could say that he was happy because, even in the dark times of his life, he was giving his life away to help others.

Can you say that about your life? You’ll never be able to say that when you are living for yourself, because you’ll never find happiness in status or salary or sex. 

Paul knew that to be happy, he had to stay focused on his purpose and not his problems. He sums up his purpose in Philippians 1:21: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (NIV).

If you were asked to fill in the blank, what word would you use? “For me, to live is ______.” Would it be entertainment? Sports? Clothes? Family? Friends? A career? You could fill in that blank with a lot of things that are not bad, things that are good in and of themselves. But nothing deserves the place of the One who created you and gave you your life: Jesus Christ.

How you fill in that blank will determine how happy you are in life. If you answer “money” or “success” or “pleasure” or “power,” you are going to be unhappy for most of your life. The issue isn’t whether there’s something wrong with those things; they just don’t deserve first place.

You weren’t created to make a bunch of money, then die and have it given away. God has a far greater purpose for your life.

There is only one answer that leads to happiness: To live is Christ.

To get the life you really want, give your life away.

PLAY today’s audio teaching from Pastor Rick >>

Talk It Over


What are the good things that you’ve focused your life on that are not your ultimate purpose in life? How would you fill in the blank?
Why does serving others help you when you are going through a painful time?
What are some specific ways you can “give your life away” in service to others today?

If you've never opened your life to Jesus Christ, you’ll never find the direction or have the joy that comes from a relationship with him.



You don't need to know what's going to happen tomorrow. You don't need to know what the future holds. You just need to know who holds the future! When you have a relationship with your Creator, you'll have the security of his unwavering love and unbreakable promises.



If you want to begin an intimate, forever relationship with Jesus, pray: “Dear God, I want my security to be in something that cannot be taken from me. I want my security to be in my relationship with you, as I trust in your promise to never leave me. I want to claim that promise today. As much as I know how, I open my life to you, Jesus Christ. I confess that I have lived life my own way and sinned against you. Please forgive me, come into my life, change my priorities, my values, my purpose, and my direction. Transform me into the person you want me to be as I submit my life to you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”



If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email me at Rick@PastorRick.comand let me know. I’d like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus.

Deja de Seguir una Cultura que no Sigue a Dios

“No imiten las conductas ni las costumbres de este mundo, más bien dejen que Dios los transforme en personas nuevas al cambiarles la manera de pensar. Entonces aprenderán a conocer la voluntad de Dios para ustedes, la cual es buena, agradable y perfecta”. Romanos 12:2 (NTV)

Hay dos versículos en la Biblia que son escritos por el mismo autor y parecen enviar un mensaje totalmente opuesto:

“No améis al mundo, ni las cosas que están en el mundo. Si alguno ama al mundo, el amor del Padre no está en él” 1 Juan 2:15 (NVI). ¡Es muy claro! 

“Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo. . .” Juan 3:16 (NVI). Esto parece que fuera una gran contradicción.

Las palabras “al mundo” en estos versículos se usan de dos maneras. El primer versículo se refiere al sistema de valores del mundo y el segundo se refiere a las personas del mundo. Debemos amar a las personas, independientemente de las decisiones que tomen, pero debemos odiar el sistema de valores (por ejemplo, prejuicios, racismo, injusticia, sexismo, guerra).

El problema es que a menudo, lo confundimos e invertimos ese orden. Amamos el sistema de valores y odiamos a las personas. Los cristianos hacemos esto todo el tiempo. En lugar de ser diferentes, llegamos ser igual de materialistas, igual de hedonistas y nos dejemos atrapar en la cultura.

Durante el resto de tu vida, enfrentarás grandes presiones para adaptarte a esa cultura. Este fue el mayor problema de Israel durante miles de años. Querían ser como otras naciones. Sin embargo, Dios les dio todo tipo de leyes morales, civiles y ceremoniales para hacerlos diferentes con un propósito.

Dios ha hecho lo mismo por ti y por mí. No vivimos bajo la ley del Antiguo Testamento, pero Dios nos ha dicho exactamente cómo debemos vivir y cómo obtenemos la sabiduría y el poder para estar de pie en este mundo: “No imiten las conductas ni las costumbres de este mundo, más bien dejen que Dios los transforme en personas nuevas al cambiarles la manera de pensar. Entonces aprenderán a conocer la voluntad de Dios para ustedes, la cual es buena, agradable y perfecta” Romanos 12:2 (NTV).

Una de las razones por la que no sabes lo que Dios quiere que hagas en la vida es porque puedes estar demasiado inmerso y lleno con esta cultura. Esto sucede sin que te des cuenta. Pero no puedes pensar como el mundo y también querer pensar como Dios piensa. Tienes que tomar una decisión.

El problema con seguir la cultura es que todo es temporal. Necesitas seguir algo que es eterno: la Palabra de Dios. Llena tu mente con la verdad de Dios y deja que transforme tu vida cambiando tu forma de pensar.

Reflexiona sobre esto :

¿Cuáles son algunas normas culturales que son parte de tu vida que contradicen la Palabra de Dios?Si tienes problemas para pensar en formas en que se haya adaptado a la cultura secular, haz una lista: escribe los cinco valores principales que te impulsan en cada área de la vida. ¿Están esos valores basados en lo que la cultura valora o en lo que la Palabra de Dios dice que debes valorar? ¿Tienen significado eterno?¿Por qué las personas piensan que están satisfechas con cosas que son solo temporales?Síguenos en Instagram  & Facebook Si todavía no has confiado en Jesús y no te has comprometido a seguirlo, ¿por qué esperar más? Si estás listo para cruzar esa línea y tomar la decisión de creer en Jesucristo y seguirlo; haz esta oración .

Focus on Your Purpose, Not the Problem

“If by continuing to live I can do more worthwhile work, then I am not sure which I should choose. I am pulled in two directions. I want very much to leave this life and be with Christ, which is a far better thing; but for your sake it is much more important that I remain alive. I am sure of this, and so I know that I will stay. I will stay on with you all, to add to your progress and joy in the faith.”


Philippians 1:22-25 (GNT)


When you stay focused on your purpose instead of your problem you can have joy, even when life seems to be falling apart.

Paul is an old man when he is in prison in Rome. He is a long way from home. He is awaiting execution. Everything has been taken from him—his friends, his freedom, his ministry, and even his privacy, with a guard chained to him 24 hours a day. It isn’t exactly a happy time for Paul.

But there is one thing they could not take away from Paul: his purpose. Paul makes the choice to stay focused on his purpose, even when he has lost everything else. What is his purpose? Serving God by serving others.

Paul says in Philippians 1:22-25, “If by continuing to live I can do more worthwhile work, then I am not sure which I should choose. I am pulled in two directions. I want very much to leave this life and be with Christ, which is a far better thing; but for your sake it is much more important that I remain alive. I am sure of this, and so I know that I will stay. I will stay on with you all, to add to your progress and joy in the faith” (GNT).

I’ll never forget reading Viktor Frankl’s book, Man’s Search for Meaning. Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist who was taken to one of the death camps in Nazi Germany. All of his family and friends were gassed and murdered. He writes in his book about one day when he stood in front of the Gestapo, stark naked. They’d taken away the prisoners’ clothes and even Frankl’s wedding ring. As he stood there with nothing at all, he suddenly realized there was one thing the Nazis could not take away from him: his choice in how he would respond.

You cannot totally control what other people do to you. You cannot control what other people do around you. But you can control how you respond.

Choose to serve others, even when you are hurting. Choose to forgive. Choose to focus on God’s promises and not your circumstances. Those are the kind of choices that lead to greater faith. Then, your faith will produce greater joy.

PLAY today’s audio teaching from Pastor Rick >>

Talk It Over


What do you believe is your purpose in life?
Why does God want you to think about others and serve them, even when you are going through difficult circumstances?
How does your choice to focus on your problem or your purpose reflect what you believe about God?

Are you ready to receive God’s forgiveness and start a new life with Christ?


God promised that for those who believe in Jesus, there is no condemnation. He sent Jesus to save you from your sin. His death on the cross paid for every wrong you’ve ever done or will do. And by sacrificing himself for your sins and giving you his righteousness, Jesus made it possible for you to have a relationship with God the Father.



The good news doesn’t stop there. God also raised Jesus from the dead, proving his power over sin and death. And that makes it possible for you to spend eternity with him in heaven.



If you’re ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, start by praying this simple prayer: “Dear God, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is your Son. I believe that he died for my sins and that you raised him to life. I want to trust him as my Savior and follow him as Lord from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”



If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email me at Rick@PastorRick.com and let me know about it. I’d like to send you some free materials to help you start your journey with Jesus.

Así es cómo Dios te Mantiene en el Camino

“Me guía por sendas de justicia por amor a su nombre”. Salmo 23:3 (NVI)

La vida está compuesta de inicios y paradas.

Cuando salí a una caminata con un par de compañeros de nuestro personal, noté que todos teníamos inicios y paradas en el camino. Nos detuvimos a mirar algo al costado del sendero; empezamos de nuevo. Revisamos los mapas del sendero; hicimos pausas para los descansos.

En tu viaje por la vida, no siempre estás caminando. Siempre incluirá inicios y paradas. De hecho, hay algunas cosas que necesitarás dejar de hacer y otras que necesitarás comenzar a hacer. Cuando sepas cuáles son, estarás preparado para ver las señales de Dios, que en su bondad ha establecido a lo largo del camino.

Si David estuviera escribiendo el Salmo 23:3 hoy, podría decir: “me guía por el camino correcto”. El Buen Pastor no solo nos alimenta. Él nos conduce. Él no sólo nos corrige. Él nos dirige.

Quizás te preguntes: “¿Por qué es tan difícil entender qué quiere Dios que haga con mi vida? ¿Por qué la voluntad de Dios a menudo parece escondida? ¿Está Dios jugando conmigo? ¿Disfruta Dios confundiéndome? Por supuesto que no.

Dios nos ha dado una guía: la Biblia. Dios nos ha dado una brújula: nuestra conciencia. Dios también nos ha dado un consejero personal: el Espíritu Santo. Claramente, Dios quiere guiarnos por los caminos de la justicia. Esto es importante de entender, porque Dios nunca tuvo la intención de que descubrieras los pasos de su viaje sin Él.

La responsabilidad de Dios es cómo te involucra en la misión y cómo tienes éxito en tu misión. Tu responsabilidad es buscar su guía y obedecer sus instrucciones.

Reflexiona sobre esto:

En el pasado, ¿cómo supiste si una decisión que tomaste estuvo alineada con la voluntad de Dios?¿Cómo ves la voluntad de Dios de manera diferente después de leer este devocional?¿De qué maneras crees que el Espíritu Santo te guía en los caminos de la justicia?Síguenos en Instagram  & Facebook Si todavía no has confiado en Jesús y no te has comprometido a seguirlo, ¿por qué esperar más? Si estás listo para cruzar esa línea y tomar la decisión de creer en Jesucristo y seguirlo; haz esta oración .
