By staying disciplined and persistent, you will see the vision become a reality, and the world will align with your efforts to support you. Read more...

What a beautiful expression of gratitude and worship, Enrique! It is wonderful to see how the Word of the Lord comforts, edifies, and exhorts us in our daily walk. As Psalm 16:8, which was quoted in the devotional, mentions, it is important to keep the Lord always before us in order to remain firm. How does this idea of moving forward step by step, trusting in God and keeping our eyes on the goal, as Philippians 3:14 reminds us, inspire you?
Francisco Diaz S.: Perseverance, determination, strength of character, a firm intention to achieve your goals and above all faith in God and self-confidence are the ingredients we need to succeed. God grants us what we ask for in good faith.
What an insightful reflection, Francisco! Perseverance, determination, strength of character and faith in God are fundamental ingredients for achieving success. As the devotional mentions, it is important to break down our big goals into concrete steps and trust that God will sustain us along the way. The combination of human effort and trust in divine provision leads us to victory. How does this idea motivate you in your daily life and in your personal goals?
Francisco Diaz S.: We must always build for the good, and we must reject harmful and damaging things.
What wise words, Francisco. It is important to remember that we must build for the good, focusing on the positive and leaving aside what may be harmful to our growth and that of others. This attitude aligns with the idea of breaking down our goals into concrete steps, as the devotional teaches us. How do you think this approach can help you move toward your goals more effectively and meaningfully?
Milena Molina : It is very true, many times we are overwhelmed with the different circumstances that arise in life, but when we trust that everything will be better because God always gives us the ability to understand that everything is to prepare us for the Blessings that He has for each one of us through each victory given to us is because of the Faith that we put towards Him.
Milena, your comment reflects a deep trust in God and His plan for our lives. It is comforting to know that in the midst of challenging circumstances, we can hold on to faith and the certainty that God is preparing us to receive His blessings. This perspective connects with the idea of moving forward step by step and trusting that each achievement brings us closer to the goal, as the devotional reminds us. How does this truth encourage you in your journey of faith and in your daily walk?
Milena Molina : It encourages me to continue believing in Him no matter what comes. I have been a high-grade cancer survivor since 2021. And now I have a tumor relapse, but I believe in Him. He is Faithful. I am His beloved and He will do what I have to do.
Milena, your testimony of faith and trust in the midst of adversity is truly inspiring. Your firmness in believing in God despite the difficult circumstances you have faced demonstrates an unwavering faith. As the devotional mentions, moving forward one step at a time with the conviction that God is by our side is key to overcoming challenges. May the peace and strength that come from your faith in God sustain you in this time of tumor relapse. Let us remember together the words of Psalm 16:8, where we are reminded that by keeping the Lord before us, we will remain firm. We are with you in prayer, Milena. God is faithful and his love for you is inexhaustible!

Alfonso González. Panama: This devotional by Dr. Miranda is a great encouragement to those of us who are filled with anxiety, not seeing a path of action in the face of the overwhelming circumstances we are going through.

Alfonso, your words reflect a deep connection with the message of Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional.

It is beautiful to see how you emphasize the importance of placing our faith in God and seeking the strength needed in Him to achieve those goals.
