The God of details
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The book of James talks about the wisdom that comes from God and how trials strengthen us. The world we live in is fallen and limited God's power due to sin, but the church of Christ is humanity's defense against the demonic powers that want to destroy the world. Terrible things happen because humanity persists in turning away from divine protection. Every good gift comes from above, and God is not the source of evil or sin or temptations in man. We should not mistake God as the cause of our sins, but rather acknowledge that He only gives good things. We should always be grateful for the simplest things in our lives because God is so good and merciful.
The speaker reflects on the detail-oriented care that God has for his life. He believes that being grateful, peaceful, and generous are important aspects of living a Christian life. The speaker encourages listeners to trust in God's limitless wisdom and to be detached from storing up possessions, as they are connected to the generosity of the Father. He believes that living a selfless life is beautiful and blessed, and that the more generous a person is, the happier they will be.
The speaker encourages living a life of detachment and giving, trusting in God's generosity and mercy. He emphasizes the loving nature of God, who pampers and cares for his children. The speaker reminds listeners that while they may feel like they have lost something, in the grand scheme of eternity, it is insignificant. He declares victory and triumph over difficulties and encourages listeners to trust in God's goodness.Let me share with you a couple of thoughts from the word of the Lord. When I have been able, I have been devoting time to the epistle of the Apostle Santiago and from there I am extracting some meditations, why don't we go to the first chapter of Santiago. Sometimes so much time passes between one meditation and another that one does not remember much of what was studied the previous time, but I am going to remind you of that. And there is always a message that we can take home with us.
What we have been seeing in this epistle of Santiago, he began by talking about the wisdom that comes from God and that if we need wisdom we should ask the Lord for it. And then we talk about trials, how God uses trials many times to strengthen us and show us his love and deal with us and make us, break us and impart to us the character of Christ. Trials come in the lives of God's children because we are in a deformed and fallen world. We are in a world that says that the prince of this world is Satan.
