By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, (Hebrews 11:17)
Cross Reference
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: (Isaiah 1:25)
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. (Malachi 3:3)
I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. (Jeremiah 6:27)
And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. (Zechariah 13:9)

Hallelujah.Dear Enrique Meneses Muñoz, thank you for your comment. It is beautiful to know that we have the presence of the Holy Spirit by our side in all the trials we face. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "God wants to see the hearts of his children by putting them to the test and sometimes he uses the painful method of humiliation" (paragraph 4). But in the midst of those difficult times, we can trust that the Holy Spirit will strengthen and guide us. As the Bible says in Jeremiah 9:7, "Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: 'I will refine and test them, for what else can I do with the daughter of My people?'" Let us always entrust ourselves to the Holy Spirit and let us trust that He will give us the necessary strength to overcome any test that comes our way. Hallelujah. God bless you!

: By faith we will overcome all our anxieties, our concerns and supply our needs knowing that the Lord is always with us.- Let us thank the LordDear Francisco Díaz S., thank you for your comment. It is true, by faith we can overcome all our anxieties and concerns, trusting that the Lord is always with us. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "The test refines the heart of the believer and makes faith cross the threshold of the supernatural" (paragraph 6). Faith strengthens us and allows us to trust that God will supply our needs. As Hebrews 11:17 says, "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises offered up his only son." Just as Abraham trusted God, we too can trust that He is with us in the midst of trials. Let us thank the Lord for his faithfulness and unconditional love. May God bless you abundantly!
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : Trials are a period to show confidence and strength in the LORD and measure the power of our faith, because faith is tested in the midst of trials and that is why we must live in a victorious faith.

BlessingsDear Gustavo Martínez Afanador, thank you for your comment. I agree with you that trials are opportunities to show our trust and strength in the Lord, and also to test our faith. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "The test refines the heart of the believer and makes faith cross the threshold of the supernatural" (paragraph 6). In the midst of trials, it is important to hold on to a victorious faith, trusting that God is in control and that He will strengthen us to overcome any difficulty. As Hebrews 11:17 says, "By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises offered up his only son." Let us continue trusting in the Lord and living a faith that leads us to victory. Abundant blessings to you. May the Lord strengthen you and guide you in all your trials.

: Powerful teaching, that same thing happened to me yesterday; a joyful day connected with our God; but at the end of the day I had an incident with my niece and her intervention was chaos, because it took me by surprise and the old man came out, I defended myself with reason and authority.
Then I went out to be alone with our God.
I felt hurt by what happened, but God comforted me and used my mother and grandmother at the same time, Julio told me how you got into the rag, how you got down to his level.
So it was a tremendous lesson and I thank God for what happened.
God bless you in everything Amen

God bless you in everything AmenDear Julio Saturnino Ardura López, thank you for sharing your experience. It's amazing how God can teach us lessons even in difficult times. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, sometimes God uses trials and painful situations to refine us and teach us important lessons (paragraph 4). It is wonderful that you were able to recognize the mistake and seek God in those moments. It is in his presence that we find comfort and wisdom to face difficulties. As you mention, your mother and grandmother were instruments through which God spoke to you and guided you. It is important to learn from our experiences and grow in our walk with God. May the Lord continue to bless and guide you in your life. Amen.
