a divine moment
Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The speaker recaps last week's sermon on meditating on one's conduct and attitudes, citing examples from the book of Haggai. He talks about how God brings divine momentum, and how it is important to discern and ride that wave. He shares examples from the book of Acts and personal experience. He cautions that momentum can also go in reverse, citing examples from the Bible.
The speaker discusses the concept of momentum in life and how it can be positive or negative. He uses the example of Joseph from the Bible and how his momentum was initially positive but then became negative when his brothers sold him into slavery. However, the speaker emphasizes that even during negative momentum, God is still with us and can use it for good. He also warns against disbelief, conformism, trying to ride someone else's wave, and focusing too much on oneself, as these can all hinder God's momentum in our lives. The speaker encourages listeners to discern what God is doing in their lives and to take risks in order to catch the wave of God's momentum.
The message is that we need to adjust ourselves to what God is truly wanting to say, rather than expecting God to adjust His message to our needs. We need to be aware of what God is doing in our lives and not sleep through it. God is watching us and has good things in store for us if we pay attention.

Let me just recap a little bit of what I talked about last Wednesday for the benefit of those who weren't there. Last Wednesday I was talking about the second Chapter of Ageo, where we were meditating on that phrase that Ageo, for example, in Chapter 2 said meditate on your ways, that this had to do with the way of proceeding, the way in which one has behaved, the conduct that one has. And then in Chapter 12, the call of God through the prophet, that is, meditate on our hearts. Meditate on your heart.
And that call is rather to meditate on the attitudes, and the actions of character that many times become obstacles to allow God's blessing to flow in us. And one very important thing that I mentioned is the mere fact, my brothers, that we have to be very alert to the mere fact of being able to identify what are the intentions with which we arrive before the presence of God.
