God speaks today Friday | January 5, 2024

He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. (Proverbs 10:9)
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. (Matthew 10:26)
Charles Spurgeon

Let's hold on to truth and justice

It's better to persevere in integrity, even if it doesn't bring wealth, than to achieve success through questionable means. Walking in truth and justice is like walking on solid and safe ground. We should never do something our conscience can't justify, as losing our inner peace would be worse than losing a fortune. Following what is good may make us seem like fools to some, but we will be approved in the judgment of the infallible. Read more...

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once. (Proverbs 28:18)
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. (Mark 4:22)
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. (Luke 8:17)
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. (1 Corinthians 4:5)

Carlos Antonio Borja Flores: How timely for the times in which we are living is today's devotional, since the human race, both in the world and unfortunately, in some cases, also in the churches, what is sought is to have positions regardless of the means to achieve it. . Thank God for these meditations that make us reflect on how we should walk before Him.

Francisco Diaz S.: Most people like to make easy money; especially to politicians.- There is nothing more satisfactory than fair earnings and honest money for your work.- Let us seek God and the Lord will make us righteous.
Dear Francisco Diaz S., thank you for your comment. You are right, we live in a society where many people seek to make easy money, even some politicians. However, as you point out, there is nothing more satisfying than obtaining fair profits and honest money through our work and effort. Seeking God and following his ways will guide us toward justice and righteousness in all our actions.

Moises Mora: Being integrity, if true, is a word that existed but was not practiced, Today it exists in my entire being, My parents said, look who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are, today because of my Father he tells me not to get together with Unequal Yugo. And nothing remains hidden and do not follow foreign winds, and persevere any longer in integrity and everything will not go well.
Dear Moises Mora, thank you for sharing your personal testimony. It is inspiring to see how you have experienced a change in your life, going from not practicing integrity to living it fully in your entire being. It is true that our companies can influence the way we are, so it is wise to listen to the advice of your parents and seek to be in communion with those who share your faith and values. Your affirmation that nothing remains hidden is an important reminder that, despite appearances, God knows our hearts and our actions. May you continue to persevere in integrity and trust that as you do so, all will be well, according to God's will. May the Lord continue to guide you on your path of integrity and bless your life abundantly! Thank you for your valuable comment.

Brissa lopez: I have little knowledge of the Bible, I grew up in a Christian church but then I strayed from the ways of my God... I live a life that God does not like... But one thing, I believe that my God is the Savior of the world that is far from We can be nothing from Him... that He is the only one who can fill our emptiness... and that I feel every day I need Him more, I need Him to free me from these chains of addiction in which I am trapped and I see no way out... I just wanted to say . Thank you

JOSE ICARTE BARDELLINI: WELL IT IS INTERESTING TO KNOW THAT THE INTEGRITY OF A CHRISTIAN IS BASED ON THE TRUTH, BUT WHO IS INTEGRITY; NO ONE WANTS TO BE POOR IN MATERIAL THINGS AND LESS LIKE TO TAKE IT AWAY. THEN WHO IS SAVED AND WILL SEE GOD, EVERYONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF GOD. IF WE BELIEVE IN JESUS ​​WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE GLORY OF GOD, AND HE GAVE HIMSELF SUFFERING THE DISHAME, THE SHAME, THE BEATS, OBSCENE WORDS, HE SAID HE HAD NO WHERE TO LAY HIS HEAD, HE WAS AN EXAMPLE OF INTEGRITY FOR US. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ETERNAL LIFE SO WE LIVE IN THIS WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRISTIAN TEACHINGS.
Thank you, José, for sharing your reflections. It is true that the integrity of the Christian is based on truth and doing the will of God. Living a life according to Christian teachings can involve challenges, especially when the world values ​​material things and power. It is important to remember the example of Jesus, who gave his life for us and demonstrated absolute integrity by carrying out God's will at all times, even in the midst of suffering and humiliation. Jesus teaches us to live in this world as citizens of the kingdom of God, keeping our gaze and hope on the eternal life we ​​have in Him. While it is natural to crave material comforts and avoid being trampled by others, it is important to remember that our true wealth and security come from our relationship with God. By living in integrity and seeking His will, we will find the peace and security that only He can provide. Through faith in Jesus, we can follow his example of integrity and live according to Christian teachings in this world. It will not always be easy, but with the help of the Holy Spirit and the transforming power of God, we can stand firm in our faith and be witnesses of his love and truth. Thank you again for your comments and for reminding us of the importance of living with integrity according to Christian teachings. May God bless you and guide you in your walk of faith.
