God speaks today Tuesday | November 7, 2023

Amen, Enrique! Truly, the promises of the Lord are blessed and trustworthy. As Charles Spurgeon's devotional mentions, when we sympathize with the poor and give them help, it is as if we are lending to the Lord Himself. And the good news is that He will reward us for our good works. As the verse in Proverbs 19:17 says, "He who has mercy on the poor lends to the LORD, and He will reward him for his good work." So, when we help those who are in need, we should do so out of pure sympathy and compassion, without expecting anything in return, not even gratitude. We simply lend to the Lord, and He is responsible for assuming the obligation to reward us. What a great honor it is to have the Lord as our debtor. So let us be encouraged to help those in need we meet on our path, whether it be with a kind word, a compassionate action, or any form of support we can provide. As the verse in Matthew 10:42 says, even if we only give a glass of cold water to one of these little ones, we will not lose our reward. Let us continue to trust in the Lord's promises and serve others with love and compassion, knowing that He is attentive and will reward us. Blessed are your promises, LORD!

Thank you for your beautiful comment, Vicente! It's true, the daily devotional reminds us of the importance of trusting God at all times and in all our directions. He is our protector and guide, and when we count on Him, we are blessed with His love and mercy. As Charles Spurgeon's devotional mentions, our actions toward those in need should be motivated by the sympathy and compassion that God has shown us. He has given us so much, and it is an honor to be able to be instruments of his love and generosity to those who need it. May the Lord continue to guide and bless the Lion of Judah Church, and its entire congregation. May each member be strengthened in their faith and be a reflection of God's love and compassion in their dealings with others. Let us always remember to count on God as our guide and direction, because He is the only one who can protect and care for us at all times. May the blessings of the Lord be upon you and the entire congregation!

Thank you for your comment, Rosario! It is a wonderful truth that we are blessed to bless others. As you mention, even the little that many of us can offer can do much more when we direct it to those who are less fortunate. Charles Spurgeon's devotional highlights the importance of helping the poor out of compassion and sympathy. When we provide help to those who are in need, we are sowing for the kingdom of God. We are being instruments of his love and generosity in this world. Let us remember that our actions of kindness and compassion can have a significant impact on the lives of others. Sometimes it may seem like what we can offer is very little, but when we put it together with the contributions of others, it becomes something much bigger and more powerful. So let us encourage ourselves to bless the less favored, to share what we have and to sow for the kingdom of God. God uses our actions of generosity to touch lives and spread his love and grace in this world. May the Lord continue to bless you and all who are willing to be instruments of blessing in the lives of others. May our actions of kindness and compassion bring glory to his name and enliven the kingdom of God on earth!

Thanks for sharing that saying, Francisco! It is a very wise saying and applicable in our daily lives. "Do good without regard to whom" reminds us of the importance of being generous and kind to others, no matter who they are or what their situation is. Charles Spurgeon's devotional also highlights the idea of ​​helping the poor out of sympathy and compassion, without expecting anything in return. When we do good without looking to whom, we are following the example of love and generosity that Jesus taught us. At times, we may be tempted to prejudge or select those we help, but God's call is for us to be generous and attentive toward everyone, without discriminating. Each person deserves to be loved and valued, and by doing good without looking at who, we are reflecting God's love in our lives. So, let's continue applying this principle in our daily lives. Let us be people who care about the well-being of others, who provide help and support no matter who we give it to. May our actions be driven by love and compassion, and may we be a light in the midst of darkness. May the Lord help us to live according to this saying, doing good without looking to whom. May our actions reflect the goodness of God and bring blessing to those around us!

Sabino, that's wonderful! You don't have to have money to make a difference in the lives of others. Your projects to generate employment to help poor families demonstrate your will and desire to do good. In Charles Spurgeon's devotional it is mentioned that by helping those in need, we are lending to the Lord Himself. So, with God's favor, your efforts to generate employment and provide daily bread to poor families will not only benefit those people, but will also be a blessing to you. Your commitment to trusting in God and looking for ways to help others, even when you don't have much resources, is admirable. Remember that God has the power to multiply what we offer and to open doors where there seems to be no way out. May the Lord guide you and give you wisdom in your projects. May he bless you and enable you to achieve your goals of helping poor families. Trust in His provision and in His favor, and you will see how He works in your life and in the lives of those you wish to help. May God's favor be with you in every step you take and may you achieve your projects for the blessing of many families! Amen.

Saved from the waters, thank you for your inspiring comment! It is true, the Lord is the owner of everything and is not indebted to anyone. However, that does not stop us from doing good deeds and being generous to others. As you mention, everything we do will be returned. The Word of God teaches us that he who takes pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for his good work (Proverbs 19:17). Our actions of kindness and compassion are not in vain, but have a real impact on people's lives and also on our own lives. Although you may be limited in health, it is inspiring to see how you keep going and do what you can to do good. That is admirable! No matter how much we can do, the important thing is that we give our best and don't look back. May the Lord strengthen you and encourage you in your walk towards the goal. May you continue to do good works and experience God's reward and blessing in your life. Do not hesitate to trust Him and His faithfulness to keep His promises. May the Lord continue to guide and bless you on your path to do good and move towards the goal!
