And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. (Numbers 13:25)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. (James 2:26)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Do your part!

God promised the Israelites the land, but they still had to explore it and be prepared for the enemy's opposition. Similarly, in our lives as Christians, we must overcome opposition and our own internal struggles to receive God's blessings. We must recognize and defeat our enemies one by one and study the land around us, knowing both the good and the bad, in order to be prepared for the struggle ahead. If we do our part, God will do His. Read more...

Comments:

Wulfredo : The preacher says: How many know that there is opposition and struggle in the life of a Christian? The Lord Jesus Christ taught us to carry our own cross. He warned us that in life we would have afflictions. That the adversary walks like a roaring lion. That the flesh is also an enemy of God. I am in the process of acquiring a property and there has been no lack of darts of doubt, anxiety, and stress despite leaving all the burden in Jehovah God. Job said in his tribulation I know that my redeemer lives. And God does not take his eyes off this house day or night where his name is invoked. I know that I will be victorious because with Christ we are more than victorious. Amen
It is powerful to recognize that, as the preacher mentions, in the life of a Christian there is opposition and struggle. It is part of our journey to face challenges and trials that strengthen our faith. Your testimony reflects that conviction in the midst of adversities that may arise, trusting in God and in His promise of victory. As the verse Numbers 13:25 mentions, it is important to recognize the land, that is, to analyze and understand the circumstances that surround us. It is also relevant to remember what James 2:26 tells us about faith and works, showing that our faith is manifested in concrete actions. May the Lord continue to strengthen you in your faith and guide you in the acquisition of that property! Cheer up!
Efigenia Vidal : Thank you Lord for your word, manifested today through today's devotional. With conviction I say that my fight is against my internal enemies, which limit me from seeing the greatness, power of God and his love. Therefore I ask you in a prayer of cleansing, cleanse me of everything that you do not like about me, that prevents me from receiving your blessing, because I know that your mercies are what sustain me, because you are faithful to your word. When one recognizes the enemies, we give entrance to your help to transform the inner man, this change helps to see things from another point of view, starting from your word, everything becomes bearable, because there will be afflictions on earth, your word of life warns us well. God bless you.
It is beautiful to see how your heart manifests itself in gratitude for the Word of God and how you recognize the struggle against internal enemies that sometimes prevent us from fully experiencing His greatness and love. Your sincere request for cleansing and transformation shows a deep search for God's will in your life. Let us remember that, as the verse of Numbers 13:25 mentions, it is crucial to recognize and confront these internal enemies in order to advance in the conquest of the blessings that God has prepared for us. It is also relevant to remember what James 2:26 tells us about faith and works, showing that our faith is manifested in concrete actions. May the Lord continue to guide you in your process of transformation and strengthen you in your walk of faith! God bless you abundantly!

Patricia Campo : How great is the Lord, who always speaks to us and confirms His Word through various messengers. Today He reminded me that I have to do my part so that He can do His. I must prepare my spirit and my soul by recognizing the enemies that do not let me enter the promised land, preparing me to face them myself, but He guarantees me that He walks before me as a powerful giant and if I do my part, He does the rest. He gives me victory over my enemies. I do what is possible and He takes care of the impossible.
It is wonderful how God confirms His Word through different messengers, reminding us of the importance of doing our part so that He can work in our lives. Your reflection on the preparation of the spirit and soul, recognizing and facing the enemies that prevent us from accessing God's promises, reflects a deep trust in His guidance and power. As the devotional mentions, by recognizing and facing those obstacles, we allow God to work in us and lead us to victory. May the truth of Numbers 13:25, about recognizing the land, and the teaching of James 2:26, about faith manifested in works, continue to strengthen your path of faith. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in every step you take, trusting in His faithfulness for the possible and impossible. God richly bless you in your walk with Him!
Francisco Diaz S.: The battle of Christians to keep ourselves clean in the ways of the Lord is not easy; they are battles against giants of the past that still live in us or have left marks that are difficult to erase. - Only with full faith in Jesus Christ and our firm conviction can we overcome difficulties. - Christ the King and our Lord
It is true that as Christians we face internal battles against giants of the past, struggles that sometimes seem difficult to overcome.

May that firmness in your faith guide and sustain you at all times, trusting that God is working in your life. May His peace and love accompany you in every step you take. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you in your walk of faith! Amen!

Alfredo Delgado : God fulfills all his promises, he has never stopped fulfilling them and he makes us free. We only have to open our eyes to holiness to be able to find the path of God. With faith we can heal our wounded soul but we also need works to solidify our faith and please God and we have to be honest or at least constantly strive to be so, leaving behind our corrupt past.
What a beautiful reflection, Alfredo. It is true that God is faithful in fulfilling His promises and guides us toward freedom through His unconditional love. Your call to open our eyes to holiness and seek God’s path is very powerful, reminding us of the importance of maintaining a close relationship with Him. As James 2:26 mentions, faith manifests itself in works, solidifying our relationship with God and demonstrating our surrender to His will. Moving forward with integrity and striving to leave behind our corrupt past is a constant challenge, but with God’s help and our determination, we can move toward a fuller life in Him. May divine grace and strength accompany you in every step of your transformation process. God bless you and guide you on your path of faith and renewal!
