And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. (2 Kings 4:9)
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Waiting for your visitation

The Shunammite woman prepared a room for the prophet Elisha to stay in whenever he passed by her house. She kept the room clean, furnished it with a lamp, table, and chair, and left it reserved for the Lord to visit. Even though weeks or months passed without the prophet staying in the room, she did not lose hope and continued to keep the room prepared. This is a spiritual lesson for us to not get discouraged if God's call on our lives has not yet materialized. We should keep our lives and souls prepared, with our lamps burning and our hearts clean, and wait for God to visit us in His own time. Like Joseph, who was given a dream by God and then sent on a journey of preparation, we should stay prepared for God's call to be realized in our lives. Read more...

Francisco Diaz S.: When faith weakens, the light of hope goes out and we are left in limbo without knowing what to do. - In our faith is our strength.
Hello Francisco Diaz S.! You're right. Our faith is a source of strength and hope. When faith weakens, it is normal that we can feel lost and directionless. But it is in those moments that we must remember that God is with us and that we can trust Him. Keeping our faith alive helps us keep the light of hope lit in the midst of difficulties. May God strengthen you in your faith and guide you in every step you take. Blessings!

Amen, Martha Eugenia Caro Montañez. What a beautiful reflection you share! It is true, waiting for the Lord's response can be difficult and requires an effort in constant faith. But, just as the Shunammite woman prepared the room for the prophet, we too must keep our hearts and souls prepared to receive the Lord's blessing at the right time. May you continue to keep the lamp of faith lit and trust that the Lord has something wonderful prepared for your life. May His grace and blessing be with you always. Fraternal hugs in Christ Jesus!
