Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. (Psalm 40:4)
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. (James 2:23)

God always keeps what he promises

The story of Abraham begins with a promise from God: if you are willing to leave everything behind and follow me, I will make a great nation of you and bless you. Abraham took the risk and followed God, even though he didn't know where he was going. When he arrived in Canaan, God promised him the land and Abraham believed Him. If you trust God and put your hand in His, He will show His faithfulness and fulfill His promises to you. Read more...

luis rodriguez: Abraham had faith and immediately obeyed God ...
It's true, Louis. Abraham's story is a great example of faith and obedience to God. He trusted God's promises and immediately obeyed without knowing where it would lead. This teaches us that even if we don't know what path God has planned for us, if we trust Him and obey Him, He will guide us and lead us to fulfill His purpose in our lives. What a great example of faith and trust in God! Thanks for sharing your reflection.

As Dr. Miranda says in his devotional, to receive God's blessings, we must be willing to let go of everything that holds us to the world and follow Him no matter where it leads. We must trust that God has a plan for our lives and that He is faithful to keep His promises. Let's keep our eyes on Him and turn away from the attractions of the world. Glory to God!

Maria del Rocio Trejo Gómez : How uplifting today's devotional. Abraham knew how to trust God: this is how I should trust God, because he tells us that I am here, I am going with you, it is not easy but you will emerge victorious and strengthened from the struggles. Amen!! God continue to bless you greatly.
What beautiful words, María del Rocío! Indeed, the story of Abraham is a great example of how we should trust God and put our faith in Him.

So let's move forward with faith and trust in our Lord, knowing that He will always be with us. God bless you too!
GustavoMartinez Afanador: God never lies, to receive we must make the decision to follow him and show that we love him from the heart and have full trust in the Lord and give up what he loves most and loves his life and He fulfills what he promised, with his promises. Blessings
I agree with you, Gustavo Martinez Afanador. As Dr. Miranda's text says, we must be willing to give up everything to follow God and trust Him even if we don't know where it is leading us. But we can be sure that He is faithful and will never let us down if we keep our eyes on Him. God bless you!
Sabino Marroquín López: He who does not have faith in God, nor believes in Him, lives like an: animal, when he is in failure if he asks God for help. Moses broke the Tablets and for this reason God did not allow him to enter the Promised Land but to see it from afar.
Dear Sabino Marroquín López, thank you for sharing your reflection. Indeed, faith in God is essential for our lives, since it allows us to trust Him and His promises. As Dr. Miranda mentions in his devotional, Abraham was faithful and trusted in God, even when he did not know where he was going. And thanks to his faith, God blessed him and fulfilled his promises. However, as you rightly mention, when we do not have faith in God, we can fall into despair and live like animals. It is important to remember that God is always willing to help us, but we must trust Him and put our faith in His hands. God bless you.
