God speaks today Thursday | April 6, 2023

Dear Enrique, your comment reminds me of the words of Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas in his devotional on the rest of God. He reminds us that true rest and inner peace is found in the grace of the Lord and in trusting in his Word, speaking to him in prayer. It is wonderful to trust God and expect him to provide us with the rest we need at all times. As the prophet Isaiah says: "He gives strength to the weary, and to the one who has no strength, he increases vigor" (Isaiah 40:29). And also, as the apostle Paul mentions: "He is able to do much more abundantly than we ask or understand, according to the power that works in us" (Ephesians 3:20). Let us continue to trust in God, who is our refuge and strength at all times. God bless you!

Dear Railda, your comment is very inspiring, and it makes me think about the importance of getting to know the Lord more and more. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, the rest of God is knowing him more while we diligently struggle in the Christian life. In his prayer to the Father, Jesus told him: “And this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). It is beautiful to know that we can love God more as we learn more about him, and this leads us to experience his peace and rest in our lives. May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen you in your walk with him. Blessings.

Dear Francisco, your comment makes me think of the great victory that Jesus Christ obtained over death, and of his promise to return in the last days. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, the rest of God is trusting in his Word, and in the certainty of his company. And even though the world is overflowing with afflictions, as Christians we can be sure that Jesus has already overcome the world on the cross (John 16:33). That is why we can confidently look forward to his second coming, knowing that he is the just judge who will reap the harvest. As the Word of God says: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive according to what he did while in the body, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10). Let us continue to trust in his power and grace, and look forward to his return. God bless you!

Dear Sabino, your comment is very moving, and it makes me reflect on the great injustice that our Lord Jesus Christ suffered in his passion and death on the cross. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, we often face difficult circumstances and conflicts that can make us lose peace and inner rest. But as Christians, we can find comfort in the certainty of the company of our Savior, who suffered in his own flesh and knows human pain. And although Jesus Christ was unjustly condemned by a wicked people, his love for us was so great that he gave his life on the cross to save us. As the Word of God says: "But God shows his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Let us continue to trust in his love and look forward to his second coming. God bless you!

Dear Gustavo, your comment is very profound, and it makes me reflect on the great gift that God gave us by sending his Son Jesus Christ to the cross to save us. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, the rest of God is knowing him more and more while we diligently struggle in the Christian life. And although we often face conflict and difficulties in our lives, we can find rest in the certainty of his love and in the promise of salvation that Jesus gave us on the cross and in his resurrection. As the Word of God says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Let us continue to thank God for his love and grace, and let us live in the certainty of his company and his promise of life in abundance. Blessings for you as well!

Dear Luci, your comment is very sincere, and it makes me think about the importance of learning to rest in the Lord in the midst of life's difficulties and worries. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, the rest of God is knowing him more and more while we diligently struggle in the Christian life. And although we often face conflicts that can make us lose our peace and rest, it is in the certainty of his love and his company that we can find the strength and peace we need. As the Word of God says: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Let us continue to learn to trust his love and grace, and to rest in his presence at all times. God bless you.
