: Devotional to be meditated deeply. As Dr. Roberto Miranda says, the presence of God is manifested in a transformed heart, but not in religious rites or physical objects; that is, religious routines. And he adds, what makes the difference is the heart that unites with the action and actualizes it and converts it into the power of God. May the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us by grace, make us meditate deeply on these truths.

: God is God, He knows the intentions of the heart. The blessing of the believer comes from honesty before His presence, trying to deceive God is a great mistake. Pastor Miranda's devotional quotes well, God does not live in a defined space, He is omniscient and omnipresent. My devotion and respect towards God is what is relevant before the Lord. I know that disobedience to God brings me consequences, I must constantly try to obey His word day by day, although I am not perfect, I try as much as possible to please Him, because I cannot deceive Him. Thank you Pastor Miranda for the profound subject highlighted today in the devotional. God bless you.

Betty Casanova: God is a GOD who does not lie or repent, he is, and his children must provoke his presence, seek him in authenticity as we are, he knows us from the embryo, then we have to try to be authentic and respond to his forgiveness and continue a path with a clean heart and we will see his wonders and blessings poured out upon us and on all practice what David did, Patiently waited for the Lord and He heard my cry, in the transition of being patient, there we test our hearts, trust and Faith that he works in favor of his children.

: The gospel in following the biblical doctrines and God implies having dedication, discipline and obedience as they have been created for the good and salvation of humanity. The human being should not try to change or model these according to his preference or lifestyle. It is the human being who must follow and honor what they establish. They are created by the work of divine inspiration. God bless you. Amen.

: Repetitive and memorized rations are not sincere, they are rituals prepared to excite the believer, only sincere, humble prayer with great faith reaches the ears of the Lord. - With God we speak with the soul and the spirit.
