Frank Sandoval: Very sure
Thanks for your comment, Frank Sandoval. It is true that it is important to be realistic and recognize our own giants, our limitations and personal struggles. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, "It is important that we lucidly understand what we are experiencing, that we do not live thinking about little birds in the air, like the ostrich, with its head stuck in the sand." We must be aware of our reality and specifically define our problems in order to face them. Faith does not negate the need to do our part before bringing our problems to the Lord, as it says in Psalm 32:8: "I will make you known and teach you the way in which you should walk; I will advise you with my eyes on you." ". Let us thank God for his wisdom and seek to live a life of purpose and lucidity. Blessings!

Cesar Gonzales zapata: This is my comment today: Proverbs 16: 01 to 03 "Man proposes, but God disposes. To one his conduct may seem blameless; But the Lord judges the intention. Commit your Works to the Lord; And they will all be successfully carried out your plans" Friends in Christ, we are close to the end of the cycle of one more year in the earth's calendar, and in the time of our lives many of us perhaps find ourselves satisfied for having fulfilled our objectives and carried out our projects; Others may be frustrated because we have not reached the goal set; how many of us are in despair and anguish. In conclusion, each and every one of us has as a result the way, form and time we have acted in our lives, but I truly say that many of us have started the path without asking and giving God control of our lives because in many of us The heart and mind have not yet learned to fully trust in God and we regret our decisions; That is why I say that it is time to learn from mistakes and correct them but above all trust in God and follow his advice and teaching and certainly 2024 will be better for us if God takes control of our lives. Blessings family and friends in Christ a hug.
Thank you for your comment, Cesar González Zapata. The Bible quote you share from Proverbs 16:1-3 is very powerful and wise. It is true that many times we can make our plans and set goals, but in the end it is God who is in control and decides how things develop. As you mention, it is important to entrust our works and plans to the Lord, trusting that He will carry them out successfully. It is understandable that at this time of year we evaluate our actions and achievements. But the most important thing is to learn from our mistakes and correct them, and above all, to fully trust God and follow His advice and teachings. By surrendering control of our lives to God, we can be sure that He will guide us on the right path. May the next year, 2024, be a year in which we allow God to take control of our lives and fully trust Him. May His wisdom and guidance accompany us in every step we take. Blessings to you, your family and friends in Christ. A fraternal hug!
