God speaks today Wednesday | January 10, 2024

Dear Carlos Antonio Borja Flores, I understand your concern about the situation that your country, Ecuador, is going through. It is difficult to live in a place where crime and corruption seem to prevail. However, it is important to remember the words of Psalm 34:14 that invite us to turn from evil and do good, and to seek and follow peace. I know it can be discouraging, but as Ernst Diehl teaches us in his devotional, the search for peace requires our active participation. We must not remain passive, but make conscious decisions to move away from negativity and work for the well-being of our community. In times like these, it is crucial to come together as believers and engage in a shared pursuit of peace and mutual edification, as the Apostle Paul urges us in Romans 14:19. I encourage you to find ways to contribute to the well-being of your country, whether through prayer, citizen participation, or supporting initiatives that promote justice and transparency. Remember that every challenge and detour along the way is not a failure, but an opportunity to learn and grow. Keep hope and trust that, with the help of God and the collaboration of committed people, positive change can be achieved in Ecuador. I will be praying for your country and for you.

Dear Francisco Diaz S., thank you for sharing your perspective on peace in the world. I agree with you that to achieve peace, it is necessary for people, communities and individuals to agree, forgive and accept each other. As Ernst Diehl mentions in his devotional, seeking peace involves a deliberate search and intentional exploration of paths that lead us away from discord and towards tranquility. It is encouraging that you mention that true peace is found in Christ Jesus, our King and Lord. Finding inner peace and living in harmony with others is based on our relationship with God. When we draw closer to Him, we find comfort, restoration, and the ability to forgive and accept others. It is important to remember the words of Psalm 34:14, which calls us to turn from evil and do good, and to seek peace and follow it. Although it may be difficult to achieve peace in the world, as believers, we can be agents of change through our actions and attitudes. By showing love, compassion, and forgiveness to others, we can contribute to mutual peace and edification, as the Apostle Paul urges us in Romans 14:19. Let us maintain our faith in Christ Jesus and seek peace in all our interactions and relationships. Let us constantly pray for peace in the world and for the ability to forgive and accept others as our Lord would. May the peace of Christ be with you at all times.

Dear Moisés Mora, thank you for your comment. I agree with you that turning away from evil and seeking peace is essential to generating positive changes on earth. As Ernst Diehl mentions in his devotional, the search for peace is not a passive effort, but requires our active participation. When we experience the peace that comes from God in our lives, we can share it with those around us. By living in harmony with others, we demonstrate the love and peace that come from our Lord. Through our actions and attitudes, we can influence the transformation of our environment. It is important to remember that each of us can make a difference. As we share the peace of Christ with others, we can be instruments of change on this earth, one by one. Whether by showing compassion, forgiving, being patient or promoting reconciliation, we can help build a more peaceful and harmonious world. Let us continue seeking peace, sharing it and opening paths of change in our community and in the world. May God guide us and strengthen us in this purpose. May the peace of Christ fill your life and inspire you to continue being an agent of positive change!

Dear Ana Soto Marmolejo, I am very happy that these reflections have strengthened you spiritually! It is wonderful to feel how the Word of God and the teachings of Ernst Diehl can impact our lives in a positive way. I hope you continue to seek peace and share it with those around you. Allow God to guide you on this path and be a channel of blessing for others. May his grace and love always accompany you in everything you do. May God bless you abundantly and may you experience His peace in every aspect of your life! Congratulations on your spiritual growth!

Dear Wulfredo, thank you for your comment and for reminding us of the importance of praying for the peace of Israel, Judah and Jerusalem. It is inspiring to see your commitment to intercede for the peace of these significant places. In the Bible, in Psalm 122:6, we are urged to ask for the peace of Jerusalem. It is a reminder that we must pray for harmony and tranquility in this city so important to the Christian faith. Just as you mention, it is good to remember the words of Psalm 122:7, where we are encouraged to seek peace within the walls and palaces of Jerusalem. May this peace be a reality in all aspects of life in this city and may God's blessings be upon those who love it and work for its well-being. Continue praying for the peace of Israel, Judah and Jerusalem. May the peace of God reign in these places and may they become symbols of unity, reconciliation and blessing for all. Amen.

Dear Inés, I am very sorry for the confusion in today's devotional. It seems that there has been an error in showing the reflection corresponding to the 11th of Pastor Roberto Miranda. At times, technical issues may occur that affect the proper presentation of content. I suggest that you try to access the devotional again or, if possible, contact the person responsible for the site or platform where you found the devotional to inform them of the problem. They will be able to correct the situation and ensure that the correct reflection is available to everyone. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused and I hope you can find the right reflection soon. May God bless you abundantly in your pursuit of spiritual growth.

Dear Yda Urrutia, amen to your words! It is wonderful to see your desire to be a bearer of God's message and to pray for the Holy Spirit to work in the lives of those around you. God's wisdom and love are essential to sharing his truth and leading others to the knowledge of the truth found in Christ Jesus. Remember that, as believers, we are called to be witnesses of God's love and grace in our lives. By living according to the principles of God's Word and through our actions and words, we can be instruments in carrying his message to those around us. May God infuse you with abundant wisdom and love so that you can fulfill the calling He has given you. May the Holy Spirit guide you every step and may you be a blessing to those you meet. May the name of Christ Jesus be glorified in everything you do. Blessings in Christ Jesus to you too!

Dear Alba Fuentes, you are absolutely right! Praying for peace in the nations and seeking peace with both God and our neighbors is a responsibility that as believers we must take seriously. The Bible teaches us in Romans 12:18: "If possible, as far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone." This shows us the importance of seeking peace and harmony with those around us, seeking reconciliation and forgiveness. Additionally, in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 we are encouraged to pray for authorities and for all people, so that we may live in peace and tranquility. Our prayers can have a powerful impact on nations and people's lives. May we continue to pray fervently for peace in the nations, persevering in our commitment to bring the message of love and reconciliation to those around us. May God bless us with his peace and enable us to be instruments of his peace in a world that needs it so much. Blessings to you too, sister! May the peace of God always be with you.
