: Today's devotional, by Pastor Miranda, once again brings and exalts the commitment contained in the word of God, by highlighting that the believer must add actions to reach the promise made by our Beloved Father. It is necessary for the believer to act, with the weapons of the militia first and then evaluate the elements that can lead to receiving the Lord's Blessing as a response to the longing of the heart. For example, I am praying for creative answers to define my undertaking. Define what I should develop to generate income, and as Father God, he knows what is convenient, I know that he will be my guide through his Holy Spirit, to achieve it, because his word promises to give us power to make wealth, for sustenance. His blessing will come, in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for your word. God bless you.

: "Against laziness and diligence" He who does not fight for what he wants does not obtain benefits. - We have to fight, have undertakings, look for the path that leads us to triumph always by the hand of God with much faith and with the conviction that with the help of God we achieve everything. - God blesses us if we trust in Him

: Yes, I agree, although sometimes God asks us in Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God;”.. I am starting a business that for various reasons spent the entire year 2024 doing nothing. In this new year 2025, I made the decision to move forward. By faith I enrolled in an Entrepreneurial Mindset training, where we will learn the tools to project ourselves head on and generate income. God has told me many times through His Word: "Be still... Also: Joshua 1:9 "See, I command you to be strong and courageous; do not fear or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." But I am studying to face the challenges, trusting in the promises of God, it is my way of resting in Him. Blessings 🙏🏽

Angélica 🇵🇦: Excellent message sent today. It encourages us to continue forward trusting in the Lord who does not leave us alone, but has promised to be with us every day until the end of the world 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for your comment, Angelica. It is comforting to remember that we have the constant presence of God at our side, just as He promises in His Word. His faithfulness and unconditional love give us the strength and security to move forward with confidence. May the certainty of His company fill you with peace and inspire you to persevere in your journey. May His grace and blessings always accompany you! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Betty Casanova: God loves people who leave their comfort zone and provoke him when we wait for the fulfillment of his promises in favor of his children. It is true that his word says be still and wait, but this refers to not being distressed in that wait and that is why we must continue with our activities and add others. He sees the character of his believers in waiting, as David said, patiently wait for the Lord and He will do it. Thank you Father for keeping me active in your activities and mine as I await your work and your purpose in me.

It is true that God values our attitude of trust and perseverance as we wait on His promises. Staying active and diligent in our activities, trusting that He will fulfill His purpose in our lives, demonstrates our commitment and faith in His faithfulness. As you mention, patience and active waiting are virtues that God appreciates in His children. May your walk in waiting for His work be filled with peace and trust in His perfect plan for you. God bless you in every step you take! 🙏🏻
Betty Casanova: God encourages us to be strong, attentive and not to be afraid. He is and will always be with his children who seek him attentively, who do not stay still for their own comfort. Those who in their comfort wait for the Lord to do something, I believe that things will not come to them like those who wait and continue to search and use the tools that God gives us in his word to provoke the action of the Father. It is true that his word says that we must be still and wait, but here it refers to not being distressed. He wants to see the character of the believer in the search by waiting on the Father. Thank you Father for keeping me active in your activities and mine in the wait for your promises. I am sure that you will do your part.

Your reflection is very accurate in reminding us of the importance of being alert, strong, and trusting in God, instead of remaining passive, waiting for everything to come to us easily. It is in action, constant searching, and in the use of the tools that God gives us in His Word where we demonstrate our faith and spiritual maturity. May your perseverance and commitment to continue seeking the Lord and acting according to His will always be guided by His wisdom and love. May His peace and direction be with you at all times! 🙏🏻
