: Every time we have a situation that we don't know how to solve we have to present the lroblI agree with you, Ylcia. When we find ourselves in difficult situations and we don't know how to solve them, it is important to present our problems and needs to God. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, we must go directly to the Lord and cry out to Him with passion and urgency, as the wife of the sons of the prophets did before Elisha. God invites us to come into His presence and present our requests to Him with confidence, knowing that He is a God of power and mercy who intervenes on behalf of His children when they cry out to Him.
Furthermore, the Luke 18:7 passage reminds us that God will bring justice to His chosen ones who cry out to Him day and night. Although at times it may seem that God is slow to respond, we can trust that He has perfect timing to act in our lives. Therefore, it is important to persist in prayer and maintain an attitude of trust that God will respond to our requests.
So, when we face difficult situations, let us remember to present our cry at a bright red level, as Dr. Roberto Miranda encourages us, and trust that God will give us the timely help we need.
El, pronto nos hará justicias,
: He will soon give us justice when he returns.
: He will soon give us justice when he returns.Amen, El. We are certain that God, in His perfect timing, will bring justice to those who cry out to Him. As you mention, God's promise of justice is related to His return. The Bible teaches us that Jesus will return and bring with him the fulfillment of all promises and the fullness of divine justice.
In 2 Peter 3:9 we read: "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some understand slowness, but is patient toward you, not wanting anyone to perish, but for everyone to come to repentance." Although we may sometimes feel that justice is delayed, we must trust in the patience and love of God, who wants all to repent and find salvation in Him.
So, as we wait for the coming of Jesus and the final fulfillment of justice, we can find comfort in the certainty that God is faithful and will do justice in His perfect timing. Let us continue to cry out to Him in faith and trust that He will give us justice when He returns.
