Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. (Psalm 123:2)
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. (Mark 9:22)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The power born of fragility

All effective prayer is born from a recognition of one's essential helplessness and a turning towards God for mercy and assistance. Without God's intervention, life can be chaotic and overwhelming. Psalm 124 expresses this overwhelming awareness that without God's intervention, we would easily succumb to the enemy. The central message of the psalm is that divine intervention is an extraordinary source of salvation, and the poet affirms that God accompanies his people through the vicissitudes of life. It is essential to recognize our frailty and entrust ourselves to the Almighty before undertaking anything significant in life. Read more...

Comments:

Olga Palma : Very good Thank you for sending us the devotionals for a long time
Dear Olga, thank you for your comment. It is important to recognize that we need God at all times and to pray with humility and total dependence. As Psalm 123:2 says, our eyes look to the Lord our God until he has mercy on us. Blessings.
Enrique Meneses Muñoz : What a privilege I have in prayer Thank you my LORD.
Dear Enrique, how beautiful it is to know that you have that privilege in prayer! As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, prayer is the product of an acknowledgment that we do not have what is required and of our essential impotence, but it is also an attitude of openness and expectation before the merciful response of our heavenly Father. As Psalm 124:8 says, our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and earth. May God continue to bless you in your prayer life!
Francisco Diaz S. : The humble man of heart and wise reasoning recognizes that there is a being superior to all human knowledge that governs our lives, but the arrogant and vain trust in their own power and crash with the reality of life; death.- We, the believers, have hope.- In God we trust
Dear Francisco, thank you for sharing your reflections. It is true that humility is an important virtue in the life of every believer, since it allows us to recognize our total dependence on God and his power over our lives. As Psalm 124:1 says, if it were not for Jehovah's merciful intervention, we would easily succumb to the merciless attacks of the enemy. But in God we can trust and have hope, knowing that his power and love are always present. May God continue to bless you.
