Comments:

Efigenia Vidal : Arrogance, haughtiness and wanting to pretend that the control of money and the advance of man in creating weapons of mass destruction every day, threatens the existence of human life and the alteration of nature created by God. Man believes that being the manager of a nation, coupled with the control of global economic power, makes him the owner of wanting to control the world and its population. God does not exist at all, in the midst of their insolent pride and haughtiness, they generate wars and destroy lives, without measuring the consequences. They show us that the center of everything is the lack of love, respect for the God giver of life, owner of everything, therefore gives and takes away. Continually pray and more prayer for the Holy Spirit to be poured out, to convince the world of sin of justice and judgment. Otherwise, the power of God will continue to manifest itself with fury because of so much evil in the nations, the love of many has cooled. God in his mercy, help us. God bless you.
What a beautiful reflection, Efigenia Vidal. Your comment highlights the pride of man in trusting in his own power and control, forgetting the sovereignty and love of God. As Charles Spurgeon's devotional mentions, true peace can only come through the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, who transforms people's hearts so that they leave violence and destruction behind. It is important to remember the words of Acts 17:30 that call us to repent and turn to God in humility and love. Let us pray that the Holy Spirit guides us at all times and that His peace reigns in our hearts and in the entire world. May God richly bless you!

Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramírez : Once again, man wants to be superior to God. According to them, they will achieve peace. When it is written in the word of the Lord God. That only he is the prince of peace. Only when he comes to earth again will he make war on the nations and he will emerge victorious. And he will reign with love and the peace that man desires. May God keep you and bless you always for the word.
