Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. (1 Samuel 17:45)
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Do your part, and God will do his

When facing challenges, it is important to understand the weapons of our opponents and our own strengths. As a pastor planning to build a new temple, I must be meticulous in my planning process, taking into account financial negotiations, fundraising campaigns, and emotional concerns of my congregation. While operating from a position of faith, I must also pay close attention to detail and exercise common sense. God promises us wisdom and direction, but also wants us to develop understanding and diligence. The power of God, combined with our efforts and understanding, will lead to victory in any situation.

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you my LORD for the wisdom and direction you give me. I love you, and I trust your word.
Dear Enrique, thank you for your comment. It is beautiful to see your trust in God and recognize his wisdom and direction in your life. Dr. Roberto Miranda also reminds us in his devotional of the importance of using the wisdom that God has given us and wisely analyzing the challenges we face each day (paragraph 7). Furthermore, it teaches us that God is pleased to work with us and at our side (paragraph 7). Continue to love and trust in God, because he is faithful and will guide you every step you take. May the peace and love of God be with you always. Blessings!
Carlos A. Borja Flores: When situations arise that we have to resolve, let us ask God for wisdom from above, and He will give it to us abundantly and without reproach. Being doers of the Word and not just hearers.
Hello Carlos, thank you for your comment. I agree with you that we should ask God for wisdom when we face situations that we need to resolve. As you mention, God's Word encourages us to be doers of His Word and not just hearers (paragraph 8). By seeking His guidance and studying His Word, we can make wise decisions and be diligent in our actions. May you always seek wisdom from above and may the Lord guide you in every step you take. Abundant blessings to you!
Francisco Diaz S.: During the life of Pastor Dr. Roberto Miranda, the construction of the new temple was his greatest challenge and excitement. How did that project turn out? Did Dr. Miranda manage to see his venture enhanced? With the Lord we can do everything
Hello Francisco, thank you for your comment. In the devotional, Dr. Roberto Miranda shares with us about the challenge that the construction of the new temple represents for him and his congregation (paragraph 4). However, the devotional does not provide us with specific information about the final outcome of that project. What we can learn is that Dr. Miranda understood the importance of being lucid and detailed in his planning process, while trusting in the power of God (paragraphs 6, 8). Let us remember that with the Lord everything is possible and he is the one who is in control, so let us trust in his direction and purpose in each endeavor. May God bless you and guide you in your own projects. A hug!
Moises Mora: There is no better wise man than one who does not know, and the wisdom we had would not guide anyone, especially what each one went through and today we enter like a sponge, we moisten it day by day with its water, but with new water, give me a drink to Give others a drink, and so they join you, great teacher.
Hello Moises, thank you for your comment. It is true that recognizing our limitation and seeking the wisdom that comes from God is essential. As you mention, we ourselves can learn and grow in wisdom as we immerse ourselves in the Word of God, allowing ourselves to be guided by his Spirit and drinking of his living water (paragraph 7). By receiving from God, we can also share and bless others with that same wisdom, inviting them to join him. May the Lord continue to fill you with his wisdom and may you be a channel to share his love and knowledge with others. Blessings to you on your path of spiritual growth!
Johenmy Isabel: It seems to me that a specific analysis of each word in context requires polishing details that are more emphasized in the personal sphere in matters of daily life and, above all, in strength and knowledge of the wise written word inspired by God. In general, I love being up to date. When I am away from preaching and it is impossible for me to go to congregate, I assume the word and give thanks for your support in theories of evangelism.
Hello Johenmy, thank you for your comment. It's wonderful to see your interest in the specific analysis of each word in its context and the personal impact it has on our daily lives. Although Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional does not cover all aspects of life, it invites us to use the wisdom that God has given us and to be doers of his Word (paragraph 8). It is important to remember that the Word of God guides us in all areas of our life and strengthens us in our daily walk. I appreciate your appreciation for resources that help you stay connected to God's Word, even when you can't attend sermons. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in your faith and in your commitment to evangelism. Blessings and persevere in your pursuit of knowledge and spiritual growth!
