GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIFE (5625)

Daily Devotional:

Avenge you? No!

Do not take revenge, my brothers, but leave the punishment in the hands of God, because it is written: "Mine is revenge; I will repay," says the Lord. (Romans 12:19)

Revenge belongs to God. Regardless of the circumstances, it is not up to us to take revenge. Only God is just. Our apparent revenge may be fair, but we can't judge, much less do it with justice.

Many times revenge is motivated by anger and not by justice, which makes that attitude even more reprehensible.

God knows all things, he is just and sovereign. We can trust him. We don't need to get our hands dirty doing what we don't have the authority to do.

Trust in God's justice. Give him your situation. "If you get angry, don't sin" (Ephesians 4:26). There are situations that can destabilize us, but when we give everything into God's hands we can move forward in life without worrying about revenge.

Revenge is not ours

*Don't focus on revenge, focus on God's justice. He sees everything and he will judge everyone.

*Don't let frustration and anger paralyze you. Relieve your heart by praying and move on.

*7) Trust God and give him the situation.

To pray:

Lord, there are times when I feel angry and angry, but I want to leave you justice. You know all things, keep me from injustice and evil. I trust you and your power. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional:

Live in communion

How good and how pleasant it is that the brothers live together in harmony!( Psalm 133:1)

In an increasingly selfish and individualistic world, living in unity with the church can be a real challenge for many people. Unfortunately, after experiencing problems and difficulties in the middle of the group, many decide to leave the community. Others are physically present, but reject any true bond with the brothers. They stop experiencing the goodness and love that come from communion with their family in faith.

Although it is complicated, for the Christian that is the only possibility of fully living the gospel: loving Jesus Christ and his neighbor as brothers. Communion with God does not replace communion with brothers. We are God's family and we need each other to be built and grow. Living together is not always easy. There will be problems because we all make mistakes. We are different people with different upbringing, styles, ages and problems, but we are united by the great love of God.

Live in communion:

*If you have moved away from communion with God's family, look for a Christian community today that you can be part of.

*For the son of God it is not an option to live isolated. Be humble, forgive and ask your brothers for forgiveness.

*Don't expect them to do for you what you can do for others. Love, serve, help, embrace, listen, share and live with the Christian family.

*If you have a problem with another brother, pray for him, talk, try to win him, reconcile with him.

To pray:

Beloved Father, thank you for my brothers in Christ. Help me to always live in communion with you and with them for your grace. Forgive our failures and our faults. Help us support and protect all those who need help. May we all be united as a family despite the problems and difficulties that may arise. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Daily Devotional:

He has been faithful!

Recognize, therefore, that the Lord your God is the true God, the faithful God, who fulfills his covenant generation after generation, and shows his faithful love to those who love him and obey his commandments.( Deuteronomy 7:9)

When the storm comes to our lives, everything seems to lose its meaning. We are tempted to look back, without strength and without confidence, with the thought of giving up... These are difficult times that we go through and that make us lose the north. But you must be aware of something: God has not lost control of your life. He continues to act even if you don't see it or feel it.

In those times of struggle in which we face pain and insecurity we must not forget who God is or everything he says in his Word. He continues to be the faithful God! Yes. The same God who worked yesterday, works today and will do it for eternity. He is the good Lord who never fails. He always takes care of those who love him and obey his will.

Believe in God's faithfulness:

*Believe despite the circumstances. When everything seems to be against you, the Lord gives you the courage to continue with faith.

*Have hope and confidence. In the midst of adversity, the natural tendency is to get anxious and afflicted, but it is important to learn to preserve the spirit and rest in God.

*Cheer up! Smile because God's faithfulness is constant and will never end. He keeps his promises.

*Pray to God and give everything to him: your life, your problems and your afflictions. He will take care of everything for you.

*Read the Bible. Discover and learn more about God's faithfulness by reading his Word.

To pray:

Lord God, I want to thank you for your kindness and your faithfulness. There is no one who compares to you. Only you are eternally faithful and totally trustworthy. Help me rest and trust you. Even when the fights come, don't let me forget that you are faithful and that your love has no end. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Daily Devotional:

Give your worries to the Lord

Cast your burden on the Lord and he will sustain you; It will not leave the righteous down forever.( Psalm 55:22)

This salm reminds us that God listens to us and also acts in our favor. We often carry burdens that seem unbearable, we worry about problems that are out of our control and the fear of the unknown paralyzes us. But God invites us to give him all these worries.

Giving your worries to the Lord does not mean ignoring life's challenges, but fully trusting that He is in control. When we leave our anxieties in God's hands, we recognize that he is able to take care of us perfectly, better than we could do.

He sustains us through the storms and gives us strength to move forward. We are not alone: the Lord is our constant support, our refuge in times of tribulation. Trust in God, give him all your anxieties and believe that he will not allow you to fall. He is faithful and is always by your side, guiding you every step of the way.

Make an effort and encourage! Do not be afraid or afraid of them, because the Lord, your God, is the one who goes with you; he will not leave you, nor will he forsake you.( Deuteronomy 31:6)

To pray:

Lord, I give you my worries and I trust in your care. Support me with your strength and guide my steps with wisdom. Help me live with faith, without fear, believing that you never abandon me. In the name of Jesus, amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO OUR LIFE (5125)

Daily Devotional:

Rejoice with the God of joy!

There, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your family will eat and rejoice.( Deuteronomy 14:26b)

Many times, when we think of God, we think he is serious and even sad. It is good to have reverence, but we must remember that our God is a source of love and joy.

When the apostle Paul speaks of the fruits of the Spirit, he cites joy as one of those important elements:

“On the other hand, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, kindness, fidelity, humility and self-control. There is no law that condemns these things."( Galatians 5:22-23)

Those who think that God is serious are deceived. Joy is part of the essence of God. Without joy there is no grateful heart. And without gratitude we do not recognize the power of God. God does not want us to identify him with fear: that feeling is the fruit of the yoke of sin. When Adam and Eve sinned, they were afraid and moved away from the presence of God.

We rejoice when we move away from sin and get closer to God. Joy is a consequence of seeking God in spirit and in truth. You can't help but smile when we know that God saved us from eternal death and invited us to live in the light of his glory. Rejoice always in the Lord. I insist: rejoice!( Philippians 4:4)

Rejoice because you are in Christ!

Word of the Day

Take a step of faith

Now, having faith is being sure of what you expect; it is being convinced of what you don't see.( Hebrews 11:1)

It is not easy to take a step of faith. We feel God's call to do something, but we don't know what's going to happen. The problems seem huge and we get a little scared. But when we take a step of faith, God acts. He honors our faith and helps us reach the impossible.

The young David took a great step of faith and managed to defeat the giant Goliath. David knew that, with his own strength or on his own merits, he would not achieve anything good. But he had great faith in God and in his power. I knew that Goliath had no escape from the Almighty God. That is why David was able to testify before Goliath:

You come against me armed with a sword, a spear and a javelin; but I come against you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the squads of Israel, whom you have provoked. 46 Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I'm going to defeat you, and I'm going to cut off your head, and the corpses of your compatriots I'm going to give to birds of prey and wild animals. Thus in all peoples it will be known that there is God in Israel.( 1 Samuel 17:45-46)

Strengthen your faith today and move forward under God's guidance. You will see that, when you take steps of faith in the name of the Lord and according to his will, you will feel the peace of God in your heart and the certainty that he will act.

Read biblical stories and verses that will strengthen your faith:

Excessive angra

But this displeased Jonah very much, and made him angry. (Jonas 4:1)

Fury, rage, anger, resentment, discontent... These are synonyms to designate the state of excessive dissatisfaction or human anger. Almost always those feelings assault us on unexpected occasions of our day to day and the most important thing is to be careful with our reactions.

It is natural and even reasonable that we are outraged by the injustices of life, but we have to let retribution and punishment come from God. Uncontrollably unloading anger, offending or taking justice into our own hands does not please the Lord. The Bible guides us to anger without sinning.

Many times, like Jonah, we have a disproportionate or unjust indignation and we remain angry because of our wounded pride, which is not right. God asked Jonah (Jonas 4:4) and also asks us today: is your anger reasonable? Are you right to get angry?

When you get irritated, don't sin

*Pray and give to God everything that is causing you anger, what happens to you and what you feel.

*Ask the Lord for help and tranquility so that you can react with balance and sense in moments of anger.

*Think about the following: what is the real cause of your anger? Are you right to be furious? If you were in the other person's place, would you do something different?

*Seek to look more like Christ: don't be reactive or vengeful, but a peacemaker.

To pray:

Lord, help me to get angry without sinning. Control my reactions and my feelings in times of crisis and anger. Forgive me for all the lack of control, anger and thoughts of revenge. Teach me to calm the spirits with your Word and transform my temper so that I am more like the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Life confronts us with constant choices, from the simplest to the most significant. It is crucial to discern between the essential and the superfluous. By prioritizing, we have the challenge of examining our actions, motivations and decisions in the light of God's will.

When we direct our efforts towards the kingdom of God, we experience an inner transformation that impacts all areas of our lives. This search is not only an isolated act, but a continuous commitment to align our life with the values of heaven.

Daily Devotional:

He is with you:

God, in his infinite mercy, not only created us, but also promises to accompany us throughout our journey. I myself will go with you and give you rest, the Lord replied.( Exodus 33:14)

God promises to always be with us, and that makes us feel safe and comfortable. Even when life is full of uncertainty, it is comforting to know that God is by our side, not only looking at us from afar, but participating closely in every aspect of our lives.

In addition, God shows that he cares deeply about people when he promises to give them rest. In a world full of haste and worries, the Lord offers us a rest that is not only for the body, but also for the soul. We can find tranquility by stopping for a moment, having the certainty that we can rest under God's care and trusting that he is in charge.

Therefore, when thinking about what is written in Exodus 33:14, we must remember that we are not alone. God invites us to trust that he is always with us and to rest knowing that he loves us forever. Let us continue with faith, knowing that the Lord is our faithful friend, giving us rest even when life gets complicated.

God is with you

*Trust in God. He is a faithful companion in all situations.

*Set aside moments to rest not only physically, but emotionally, trusting that God's eternal love offers peace and tranquility.

*Face daily challenges with faith, knowing that God is in control.

To pray:

Lord, I trust in your constant presence in my life. Help me take moments to rest, looking for peace in your eternal love. May you face daily challenges with faith, finding strength and rest in yourself. Amen.

DIOS HABLA A NUESTRA VIDA (42525) Devocional Diario: Siempre atentos Estén ceñidos vuestros lomos, y vuestras lámparas encendidas; y vosotros sed semejantes a hombres que aguardan a que su señor regrese de las bodas, para que cuando llegue y llame, le abran en seguida. Bienaventurados aquellos siervos a los cuales su señor, cuando venga, halle velando; de cierto os digo que se ceñirá, y hará que se sienten a la mesa, y vendrá a servirles. Y aunque venga a la segunda vigilia, y aunque venga a la tercera vigilia, si los hallare así, bienaventurados son aquellos siervos. Pero sabed esto, que si supiese el padre de familia a qué hora el ladrón había de venir, velaría ciertamente, y no dejaría minar su casa. Vosotros, pues, también, estad preparados, porque a la hora que no penséis, el Hijo del Hombre vendrá.(Lucas 12:35-40) La parábola del siervo vigilante nos recuerda una verdad esencial de la vida cristiana: la necesidad de estar siempre atentos y preparados para el regreso de Cristo. Jesús nos advierte sobre lo imprevisible de su segunda venida y nos invita a vivir en atención constante. La parábola habla de siervos que esperan el regreso de su amo y son bendecidos por estar listos cuando él llega. La disposición de estos sirvientes se compara con la luz de las lámparas que permanecen encendidas, simbolizando la vigilancia continua. El mensaje de esta parábola es claro: no sabemos el día ni la hora, y por eso debemos estar espiritualmente alerta en todo momento. A menudo es fácil distraerse con las preocupaciones cotidianas, descuidando nuestro caminar con Dios. Sin embargo, Cristo nos llama a vivir con propósito, comprometidos con su voluntad, esperando siempre su venida. Mantente siempre atento Mantén tu vida de oración activa y constante, buscando siempre la presencia de Dio s. Vive cada día con propósito, sirviendo a Dios en las oportunidades que se presentan, sean pequeñas o grandes. Desarrolla una actitud de preparación espiritual, permaneciendo firme en la fe y en las obras. Para orar: Señor, ayúdame a estar siempre vigilante, con el corazón preparado para recibirte. Dame fuerza para vivir con propósito, fiel en tu servicio, manteniendo viva mi fe en medio de las distracciones. Ayúdame a estar atento a tu llamada, viviendo cada día en actitud de disponibilidad y esperanza. Amén.
