God speaks today Tuesday | January 23, 2024

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: (Psalm 139:23)
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. (2 Corinthians 2:9)

Knowing our deformations

We need to be aware of the unknown forces within us, which often come from our subconscious. We must ask the Holy Spirit for discernment to identify our character flaws and work to control them. As people with chronic health conditions, we must keep our condition in view and take appropriate steps to keep it under control. The lack of self-knowledge and introspection can lead to problems in our personality. We may have to struggle with our internal deformations for a long time, exploring them in the light of the Word and submitting to God. Sometimes, God will allow us to struggle with our weaknesses for a specific purpose. This struggle can be a benevolent opponent, drawing us closer to Him and keeping us humble. The example of the Apostle Paul's thorn shows that our weaknesses can remind us of our dependence on God's mercy and protect us from spiritual pride. We should rejoice in our weaknesses because when we are weak, we are strong in Christ. Read more...

Francisco Diaz S.: The proud and arrogant must get off that cloud and understand that they are human and that there is a superior divine being. The humble must know that God is always on their side. Thank you Lord for your divine providence.

Moises Mora: We must learn to accept our weaknesses and trust in Christ Jesus. It is real because in our weaknesses is our strength, always being meek like the doves but clever like the snake, every day we will be tested to face the snares of the devil, and our old man. Our life in Christ is many races, as you say, taking out our weaknesses, taking out the courage to run, moving forward is when we clear all our burdens and run with Him and continue to the goal, the only one there is. To see each other in eternity.
Moisés Mora, you are right when you say that we must learn to accept our weaknesses and trust in Christ Jesus. As mentioned in the devotional, our weaknesses are where we find God's strength. It is important to remain humble and be alert to the trials we face, both due to the enemy's schemes and our own internal challenges. The Christian life is like a race in which we must throw off our burdens and run towards the finish line together with Christ. Let us continue to persevere in our faith, trusting in God and longing to meet together in eternity. May God continue to strengthen you in your walk with him. Blessings!
