God is always in control
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The key to a healthy life is to interpret everything that happens in our lives in light of God's perspective. We must understand that everything in our lives has a benevolent purpose because God is in control. We should frame and interpret everything that happens in our lives in light of God's way of seeing things. Even unpleasant situations can be used by God to strengthen us. We must detach ourselves from the world and know that our life is already lost in Christ. When we live for the glory of God and abandon the desire to take advantage of our lives, we can truly become happy. We should reason like Paul did, considering whether staying on earth benefits the Gospel and resigning ourselves to stay if it does.
The article discusses the importance of interpreting life events through the lens of the Gospel and the values of the Kingdom of God, rather than the values of the world or the self. The author emphasizes the need for introspection and stopping to process events through the filter of God's word before reacting. The article concludes with a list of "ruling principles" for interpreting events in a calmer, more measured way.
The speaker discusses eight principles for dealing with difficult times in life. These include knowing oneself and one's past experiences, understanding that God is always in control, exercising patience, accepting that God sometimes uses painful means to bless us, taking advantage of all experiences to grow and develop, soaking up the biblical narrative, seeing oneself as an incessant project of God, and wearing the interpretive glasses of the Kingdom of God. The speaker encourages listeners to confess that God is always in control and to trust in His plan for their lives.

I want to continue with the theme of health, emotional healing, the advice of God's word for us when we are looking to navigate crises, life's difficulties, life's challenges and we want to learn those teachings that help us to live in God's perspective and see things as God sees them.
I want to start, and remember I'm going to finish, I'm going to develop a little more and conclude the topic that according to your perspective of the events that affect your life, this will be the effect they have on you, whether negative or positive, depending on how you frame and Whether you see the things that happen to you, whether you see them in the light of God and the light of God's involvement in your life, or whether you see them as simply something that happened to you by coincidence, chance, or because the world is bad, whatever. That will determine the way in which you either always grow and are in perpetual spiritual development, because everything that comes into your life you use for your development, or if the events of life destroy you, squeeze you, overwhelm you and end having a negative effect.
