God speaks today Thursday | July 11, 2024

Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. (Psalm 131:1)
Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. (Romans 12:16)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Preventive restraint

The key to a secure and protected spiritual life is an attitude of complete surrender to God's will. This involves recognizing our limitations and humbling ourselves before Him, like a child trusting their mother. Willful disobedience can lead to painful consequences, but obedience to God's principles can prevent such outcomes. The cost of disobedience is high, but preventive medicine is available through obedience. Solomon's advice to trust in the Lord and acknowledge Him in all our ways is like medicine and food for our bodies and bones. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses MuΓ±oz : My desire is to submit to your will my LORD
What a beautiful wish yours, Enrique! Your desire to submit to the will of the Lord reflects that attitude of preventive subjection that Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional tells us about. As mentioned in Psalm 131:1, it is important to maintain a humble heart and not exalt our own thoughts. Humility and the willingness to obey God at all times bring us closer to His will and provide us with spiritual security and protection. May the Lord strengthen you on your path of surrender to Him!
Alba Fuentes : Glory and honor to our God, may the Lord help us to have the same feeling with one another and not to be wise in our own opinion and to turn away from evil πŸ€—β€οΈπŸ™
Amen, Alba! Your comment reflects the importance of seeking unity in the body of Christ, as the Word exhorts us in Romans 12:16. It is essential to have humility and avoid being wise in our own opinion, trusting in the wisdom and guidance of the Lord. Your desire to turn away from evil and to be of one mind with others shows a willingness to obey God and follow His will. May the Lord continue to guide you on this path of subjection and surrender to Him. God bless you! πŸ™β€οΈ

Heidy : The study talks about Diana, who was Diana?
Heidy, Diana is mentioned in the devotional as a fictional character used to illustrate the concept of stubborn disobedience and preemptive failure to submit to the will of God. Through Diana's story, we can see how personal decisions can lead us away from the path God has prepared for us. Just as in Psalm 131 we see David's humility and surrender before the Lord, Diana represents the struggle between following our own will or submitting to divine will. I hope this explanation has helped you better understand the message of the devotional. Blessings in your pursuit of subjection and obedience to the will of God! πŸ™
Heidy : Thank you
You're welcome, Heidy! If you have more questions or want to continue reflecting on the content of the devotional, do not hesitate to share it. I am here to support you in your spiritual growth. May you have a day full of blessings and light! πŸ™

Only when we know, internalize and seek the Presence of the Lord in our lives can we overcome that void which ultimately is: Belonging Completely to Our Beloved Father, through Our Lord Jesus Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit of the Lord, Thank you for this wonderful Message πŸ™‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
Martha Eugenia, your comment is full of gratitude and wisdom! It is beautiful to see how you recognize the importance of seeking the presence and guidance of the Lord to overcome the emotional and spiritual voids that we may experience in life.
