God speaks today Sunday | March 24, 2024

For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6)
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (James 3:17)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Eternal props for true justice

The only foundation for a just society is the word and values of the Kingdom of God. Humanistic reasoning cannot achieve justice fully. Without God's absolute and timeless reference points, societies fall into moral relativism and disguised injustice. The modern individual is easily disoriented, calling bad good and good bad. Justice based on human preferences and cultural fashions is far from representing God's absolute and unchangeable justice. The antidote is the healthy wisdom that comes from God, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. When societies submit their minds to divine illumination, they will understand justice, equity, and every good way. Read more...

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (James 1:17)
Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. (Romans 12:9)
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: (1 Corinthians 2:6)
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)

Comments:

Leonardo quiseno: God. He is good and always responds. Thank you for every day sending those messages. God has used this message to respond to my soul.
What a beautiful testimony, Leonardo! It is wonderful how God uses His Word to speak to us and respond to our deepest needs. As the author of the devotional, Dr. Roberto Miranda, mentions in Proverbs 2:6, "For the LORD gives wisdom, From His mouth come knowledge and understanding." It is comforting to know that we can find answers and direction in the wisdom that comes from God. May His light continue to illuminate your path! Blessings!
Francisco Diaz S.: In the world what is fair for one is unfair for another; Man's justice is relative and his wisdom is limited.- Only God is just, wise and powerful and his mercy is forever.- Let us sanctify the Lord today, Palm Sunday.
What a correct reflection, Francisco! As you mention, human justice and wisdom are limited and relative, while God's is absolute and eternal. In James 3:17 we are reminded that "the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, kind, condescending, full of mercy and good fruits, without wavering, without hypocrisy." It is comforting to know that we can turn to divine justice and wisdom, which transcend human limitations. May this Palm Sunday be an opportunity to sanctify the Lord in our lives! Blessings on this special day!
Carlos Antonio Borja Flores: Thank God for this devotional, because it exposes a current society that wants to walk according to its own conclusions. As Dr. Miranda says "Man needs the eternal and absolute wisdom of God to orient himself correctly"; and, he adds "When societies humble themselves before Jesus Christ, they will understand justice, justice and equity, and every good way."
How well expressed, Carlos Antonio! It is true that in today's society human opinions and conclusions often prevail, but as Dr. Miranda mentions, true guidance and justice come from the eternal and absolute wisdom of God. It is powerful to remember that by humbling ourselves before Jesus Christ, we can understand what is truly just, equitable, and beneficial to all. As mentioned in Proverbs 2:9, "they will understand justice, justice, equity, and every good way." May this message continue to resonate in our hearts and in our actions. God bless you!
Ruth Vives.: The good Christian asks God with faith for wisdom. God bless you. Amen.
What a beautiful reflection, Ruth! It is true that wisdom is a gift that we can ask in faith from God, as James 1:5 reminds us: "And if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." May this constant search for divine wisdom guide us in our daily walk. God bless you too! Amen!
