Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : I will always trust in your word my LORD.
Hello, Enrique! Thank you for sharing your inspiring comment. It is comforting to always trust in the word of the Lord, as the psalmist reminds us in Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path." In times of uncertainty or adversity, we can find comfort and guidance in God's teachings. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, when we sense the movements of the Lord around us, it is time to act boldly and take advantage of the opportunities He presents to us. Let us keep our ears open to hear the voice of God and our minds ready to obey His call. May we be diligent in following His leading and trusting in His victory, as 1 Corinthians 15:57 reminds us! Blessings!
Carlos A. Borja Flores: As Father Spurgeon emphasized, we must take advantage of the opportunities that God gives us; since times come when we must be more active than ever. We must seize that golden opportunity, and make the most of it.
Hi Carlos! What a beautiful reflection you share. It is true that we must be attentive to the opportunities that God puts in our path, as Charles Spurgeon reminds us in his devotional. It is essential that, as we perceive the movements of the Lord around us, we act with diligence and courage to make the most of those opportunities that He gives us. Just as David and his men knew how to interpret the sign of the wind in the trees and advanced with the support of the Lord to defeat the Philistines, we too must be ready to obey His call and be instruments of His work in this world. May we, as 2 Samuel 5:24 mentions, act quickly when we hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, trusting that the Lord goes before us to give us victory. May this message inspire us to be diligent and bold in our walk of faith! God bless you!
Francisco Diaz S.: In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we will move forward firmly to achieve our good purposes, we will overcome difficulties and we will live in peace, in the peace that the Lord left us
Hello Francisco! What a beautiful message you share! It is inspiring to remember that, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we can move firmly toward our purposes, trusting in His guidance and strength. As 1 Corinthians 15:57 mentions, "but thanks be to God, who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ," we can face difficulties with the certainty that He will sustain us and lead us to victory. Let us remember that the peace that Jesus left us is an invaluable gift that transcends any circumstance. Let us move forward with faith, determination and hope, trusting that the Lord goes before us to open paths and work wonders in our lives. May His peace and strength be with us at all times! God bless you!

Hello Ruth! Thank you for your comment full of wisdom. It is essential to be attentive to God's call through the Holy Spirit, who guides us and instructs us to act according to His will. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, we must be alert to the Lord's movements around us and be diligent in following His leading. May the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit strengthen us and enable us to obey God at all times. May we, as the psalmist mentions in Psalm 143:10, be led by the Holy Spirit on the right path. May the peace and blessings of God be with you always! Amen!
