Enrique Meneses Muñoz : GOD is my refuge from all the dangers of life.
Receive my worship LORD.
What a beautiful expression of trust and worship, Enrique! Like you, recognizing God as our refuge is essential in the midst of life's dangers. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, in a world saturated with evil and danger, it is wise to recognize our fragility and entrust ourselves to God's protection. Psalm 46:1 reminds us: "God is our refuge and our strength, always present in times of trouble." Let us continue to worship the Lord and trust in His constant protection.
Wulfredo 
: The correct interpretation of the scriptures exposes us where we are - King David feared evil and said "you save those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of your eye - Hide me under the shadow of your wings - (Psalm 17:7,8). I say Lord on this day I cover myself from head to toe with the blood of Jesus Christ. While the spirits of torment, destruction and possession pass by. Amen

It is true that the correct interpretation of the Scriptures reveals to us the protection and refuge that we find in God. As you mention, Psalm 17:7,8 reminds us of the image of God protecting us as the apple of His eye and covering us under the shadow of His wings. Your statement about covering yourself with the blood of Jesus Christ is also powerful, remembering that in Him we find redemption and protection. May your prayer be a constant reminder of the strength we have in Christ to resist any spirit of torment or possession. Amen!
Efigenia Vidal 
: Thank you Lord, because it is your word that teaches me the importance of depending, trusting and strengthening myself in God. Because it is written: God is a shield of protection around me, a habitation under his shelter and I dwell under the shadow of the Almighty. God sees everything that lurks, and what is to come, as Pastor Miranda's devotional quotes "evil is everywhere, it is invisible." He always declared in prayer, Lord, deliver me from everything that does not come from you, and if it is from you, fill me with strength and wisdom to face it. It is the difference in depending on God, knowing him through his word and the fullness of his Holy Spirit. God bless you greatly.

Francisco Diaz S.: We must permanently trust in God knowing that He is our protector, whoever walks without God walks adrift. Let us give thanks every day for His protection and shelter.
: We must permanently trust in God knowing that He is our protector, whoever walks without God walks adrift. Let us give thanks every day for His protection and shelter.What a beautiful reflection, Francisco. Recognizing God as our protector and refuge is fundamental in our daily lives. As you mention, walking without God leaves us adrift, but by trusting in His constant protection, we find security and hope. It is important to thank God every day for His care and shelter over us. Let us remember the words of Psalm 91:2, which tells us: "I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I will trust.'" Let us continue to trust in God and recognize His powerful protection in our lives. Blessings on your journey of faith, Francisco!

It is not easy to recognize that behind every negative action of people who are sometimes very close, is the enemy of God, Satan, who is there to seek to destroy us or make us fall into sin. I must be alert and sober to respond appropriately. Thank you very much, pastor, for being a useful instrument in the hands of the Lord to speak to my life through this message.

: Resist, I know now, before it was unequal for me to do it or not, I only knew that about Jesus, I knew about Him, but I did not live for Him, it was when they told me that if I was sad, worried and could not take my life anymore, to pray to Jesus, and it was like that and I was very scared, and afraid of noise, bustle and more, and I resisted and everything was like Psalm 23, to this day I continue to resist the adversary, not in my own strength but in that of my faithful friend who never fails me, He protects me and frees me from all evil.
