God speaks today Thursday | October 12, 2023

Beloved Enrique, what a beautiful prayer you have shared. It is wonderful to seek the faith and love of God every day. By reading Charles Spurgeon's devotional, we can reflect on how Jesus was hated without cause. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 35:19: "Do not let those who are my enemies unjustly rejoice at my expense, Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eyes in malice." Also, in John 15:25, the word of the Law is fulfilled: "They hated me without a cause." Just as Christ suffered persecution, we can expect the same in this world. However, Spurgeon exhorts us not to provoke the hatred of the world, but to live justly and lovingly. May God grant you the faith and love necessary to face any opposition without losing your testimony. Hallelujah! Amen. May the Lord bless you greatly.

Dear Francisco, thank you for sharing this beautiful thought. It is true that by being upright, of good character and behavior, we can earn the trust and good will of those around us. As you mention, the unjust is the one who hates the just and envies him. But in the midst of any opposition or persecution, we can find comfort and protection in God. As Charles Spurgeon reminds us in his devotional, if your Lord, Jesus, was hated without cause, we too should expect the same. However, we must ensure that if the world hates us, it is without justifiable reason. Let us trust in the Lord and His power to guide us in every situation. May integrity and trust in God be our guides at all times. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

Dear Jesus, thank you very much for your comment. You are absolutely right, as followers of Christ, we must live a life that reflects his love and his message of salvation. It is true that, as Jesus warned us, we can be hated and persecuted because of Him. But in the midst of those difficulties, we can find comfort and strength in the words of the Lord. As you mentioned, Jesus said that if they persecuted Him, they would persecute us too. In these situations, it is important to remain firm in our faith, trusting in God and remembering that we are blessed to follow Christ, even in the midst of opposition. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in your testimony and may you continue to share the blessed gospel with love and courage. May God bless you abundantly!

Amen, beloved Jesus. Thank you for your blessings and words of encouragement. May God also bless you abundantly in all your ways and strengthen you in your faith. It is true, the reward that awaits us is great and wonderful. Let us move forward with courage and confidence, knowing that our work in the Lord is not in vain. May God's love and grace be with you always and may you continue to be a blessing to those around you. May you have a day full of blessings!
