: I need an intimate relationship with my LORD more every day.
: I need an intimate relationship with my LORD more every day.Dear Enrique Meneses Muñoz, thank you for your comment. It is true, our intimate relationship with the Lord is fundamental to our spiritual life. In Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, he tells us about the spiritual authority we have as children and servants of God. He mentions that "God does not mind when we are in crisis that we express to the Lord our anxiety, our pain, even sometimes our annoyance and our doubts, God is not offended by that." We can boldly approach the throne of grace, as Hebrews 4:16 tells us, to receive mercy and find grace for our timely help. Let us maintain that intimate relationship with the Lord, seeking His direction and strength in all our circumstances. God bless you!

You are absolutely right, as children of God we can turn to Him with our most pressing needs, knowing that He is infinitely merciful.

: How important it is to have spiritual discernment to strengthen and direct our faith. God bless. Amen.
: How important it is to have spiritual discernment to strengthen and direct our faith. God bless. Amen.Dear Ruth Vives, thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right, spiritual discernment is essential to strengthen and direct our faith. In Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional, we see how the Shunammite woman had spiritual discernment by directly asking the prophet Elisha to come with her to resolve her situation, rather than settling for a less powerful solution. As you mention, it is important to have that spiritual discernment so that we can make decisions that are in line with God's will and so that our faith is strengthened. May the Lord bless you abundantly and guide you in your quest for spiritual discernment. Amen!
Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: The faith of the Shunammite in the face of the difficult situation she is going through, first she does not tell her husband about her grief, for fear of the negative effect it may have on her regarding her faith in the Prophet, which is why she goes and demands to speak directly with him. he. For us, who already have the promise of the Lord and a direct and intimate relationship as His children, we must always keep the Word on our lips, in our minds, as well as have the certainty that the Lord has blessed us and has placed us in the places where we are not to be defeated or humiliated, but to exalt His name and in any situation that we may experience, act as He tells us, remembering that anyone who says to this mountain (problem): Get up and throw yourself into the sea, and I will not hesitate. in his heart, if he does not believe that what he says will be done, what he says will be done to him. (Mark 11:23) without being anxious, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, presenting our requests before God (Philippians 4:6) Asking in faith, doubting nothing; Because he who doubts is like the wave of the sea, which is carried by the wind and thrown from one place to another; therefore, whoever does this will not receive anything from the Lord. (James 1:6-7) supporting each other among brothers because, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 18:19) therefore, God is not a man, that he should lie, nor the son of man, that he should repent. He said, and will he not do it? He spoke, and will he not execute it? The Lord is faithful and merciful.

The Lord is faithful and merciful.Dear Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano, thank you for your enriching comment. The Shunammite faith is a great example for us. As you mention, she had the conviction and spiritual discernment to go directly to the prophet Elisha and trust in God's promise. In our lives, we must also keep the Word of God on our lips and in our minds, remembering that the Lord has blessed us and placed us in the places where we are to exalt His name. We can come to Him in faith, without doubting, knowing that He is faithful and merciful. As Mark 11:23 tells us, if we believe and do not doubt in our hearts, whatever we ask will be done for us. Furthermore, we can present our requests before God in prayer and thanksgiving, trusting that He hears and answers us, as Philippians 4:6 tells us. It is important to lean on our community of faith, as you mention in Matthew 18:19, knowing that when we agree on our requests, God will answer them. Let us always remember that God is faithful and keeps His promises. May the Lord bless you and strengthen you in your walk of faith. Amen!

: We children of God have often been taught that we must be submissive and that submission is not saying what we require, or what bothers us. That we must endure even injustices without complaining. But here we see that the Lord gives us authority to speak, to say, to ask, to declare. We are children of the Most High, we are children of the king; To Him all the glory and honor without closing our voice.

You are absolutely right to highlight that as children of God we should not feel limited in expressing our needs and concerns. While submission is important in certain contexts, as believers we also have the authority to speak, ask, and declare. As you mention, we are children of the Most High, children of the King, and we can approach Him with confidence, knowing that He listens to us and honors us. We must not close our mouths, but use them to glorify God and express our needs and desires according to his will. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in your relationship with Him. Blessings!
