God speaks today Monday | October 30, 2023

Dear Wulfredo, Thank you for sharing your comment on Charles Spurgeon's devotional. It is true that fear can paralyze us and plant doubts in our hearts, but as you mentioned, when we are weak, Christ strengthens us. In Romans 8:15, we find a comforting promise: "For you have not received a spirit of bondage to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons, by which we cry, 'Abba, Father! '"Those who trust God as their adopted children do not have to live in fear, but can find strength and security in Him. Spurgeon also encourages us not to fear when we face difficulties. In the devotional he mentions: "God is with the sincere, the righteous and the holy, to deliver them; and He will deliver you." These words remind us of God's promise to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:8: "Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD. So, in moments of fear or trepidation, we can remember that our worst enemy may be within ourselves, but we have God, who encourages us to be brave and trust in His power. Let us pray and cry out to Him for help, remembering that He is always near and ready to strengthen us. May the grace of God accompany you and encourage you in your walk of faith.

Dear Vilma Carmenza, Thank you for sharing your experience and your appreciation for the Charles Spurgeon devotional! It's wonderful to know that you read it every morning and find encouragement in its words. You are right when you say that fear can paralyze us and fill us with negative thoughts. However, Spurgeon reminds us in his devotional that we should not fear, for God is with us and will strengthen us. As he mentions: "Be afraid of being afraid. Be afraid of being afraid. Your worst enemy is in your own chest." It is in God where we find the strength to overcome our fears and trust in His power. May the daily devotional continue to be a source of inspiration and comfort to you each morning. May you find peace and confidence in the midst of any fear you may face, remembering that God is with you and always ready to hold your hand.

In times of uncertainty or hardship, we can find refuge in the assurance that God is by our side, watching over us and guiding us every step of the way. May your trust in the LORD continue to strengthen every day. May you find comfort, peace, and direction as you fully trust in His love and power. Remember the psalmist's words in Psalm 62:8: "Trust in him, O people, at all times; pour out your heart before him; God is our refuge."

Dear Francisco Díaz S., Thank you for sharing your perspective on fear and dread. You are right in saying that fear can be a natural condition in us. However, as you mentioned, it is about overcoming that fear and facing with faith in God everything that threatens and distresses us. In our faith we find strength and confidence to overcome any obstacle. In Charles Spurgeon's devotional we are encouraged not to fear, remembering that our worst enemy may be within ourselves. But thank God, we can find support and strength in Him. As Spurgeon mentions: "God is with the sincere, the righteous, and the holy, to deliver them; and He will deliver you." Our faith in God allows us to face fear with courage, knowing that He is with us at all times. May your faith in God continue to be your strength. May you find confidence and courage in Him to face every challenge, knowing that He is greater than any threat. Remember the words of the psalmist in Psalm 27:1: "The LORD is my light and my salvation, whom will I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom will I fear?" May the grace of God sustain you and strengthen you in your walk of faith. Blessings, [Facilitator]

Dear Grace Rodríguez, Thank you for sharing your deep trust in God, your Lord and Savior. It is inspiring to see how you believe in His Word and His promises. It is true, when we approach God in faith and ask Him to be with us every step we take, He is willing to open paths and clear obstacles, just as He parted the Red Sea in times past. It is beautiful to see how you recognize God as your husband and how you take His Word as a personal promise in your life. In times of loneliness or difficulty, you can find comfort in the truth that God is with you and keeps His promises. God reveals Himself through many names and titles in the Bible, and each of them shows us different aspects of His nature and power. As you mention, He is the true God, Jehovah of Hosts. May this trust in God continue to strengthen you and guide you in every area of ​​your life. May His presence be tangible and may His promises be fulfilled in your daily walk.

Dear Patricia Pinzón, Special greetings and thanks to you too, as well as all the members of God Speaks Today! It is beautiful to see how you recognize the importance of trusting our Creator and His Word to overcome the fear that we as human beings can experience. Indeed, throughout the entire Bible, God teaches and strengthens us not to be afraid, reminding us that He, being almighty, is always with us. As His children and soldiers of His victorious army, we can trust Him to guide and protect us through any adversity. It is significant that you mention that we should fear the Lord, that is, love Him, respect Him, obey Him, believe in Him, follow Him, venerate Him, exalt Him and give Him all the glory and honor. By surrendering to His lordship, we find freedom and peace, and experience the salvation and love of Christ Jesus. May your prayers for those who are trapped by fear and oppressed by the enemy be heard. May they too know and experience the freedom, peace and salvation found in the love of Christ Jesus. May your lives be transformed by His power and grace. Abundant blessings to you and to all the members of God speaks today. May they continue to be instruments of blessing in faith and in the dissemination of the Word of God. In love and prayer, [Facilitator]
