God speaks today Sunday | September 29, 2024

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. (Isaiah 60:19)
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Full life for the glory of God

The author reflects on growing up in Cuba during the 60s, a time of romanticism and rebellion against religion. They describe how submitting to God was seen as humiliation and degradation, and how the concept of God was almost non-existent in their society. However, in the 90s, there was a rediscovery of faith in Cuba and the author came to understand why the gospel is madness for those who are lost and the power of God for those who seek His face. They end by giving glory to God and asking for His blessings. Read more...

Comments:

Carlos A. Borja Flores: During my time as a high school student and university student, and even in my first years as a university professional, I was active in the Communist Youth of Ecuador, but from there God rescued me to show me the true path to God. As Faustino de Jesús concludes in this devotional, I understood that "the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing, the power of God to those who seek His face."
Carlos A. Borja Flores shares his testimony of being rescued by God and turning away from the communist path to find the truth in God. His experience reflects what Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas expressed in his devotional, where he points out that "the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing, the power of God to those who seek His face" (1 Corinthians 1:18). It is beautiful to see how your sincere search has led you to find the true light in God, as expressed in Isaiah 60:19: "But you will have the LORD for your everlasting light, and your God for your glory." May God continue to guide your path and bless you on your walk of faith!
Francisco Diaz S.: The devil is invading the earth, the forces of evil slowly displace the goodness of good, that is predicted for the end times. - Therefore let us dress ourselves with the armor of God and wield the sword of faith to face the evil tendencies. - God's times are perfect and sooner rather than later our King and Lord Jesus Christ will return to reign and put order in this world. - Hallelujah
Francisco Diaz S. shares a profound reflection on the presence of evil in the world and the importance of equipping ourselves with the armor of God to resist it, as he exhorts us in Ephesians 6:11-17. Let us remember that, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, "the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:25). Even though we face difficult times, let us trust that God's plans will be fulfilled in due time, as we eagerly await the glorious coming of our Lord. Let us remain firm in faith and prepared for any adversity, trusting that God is our eternal light and our power. Hallelujah for the hope we have in Christ!
