God speaks today Monday | April 10, 2023

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth. (Deuteronomy 14:2)
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

We have to present ourselves each day before the Lord

To live a life that pleases God and corresponds to His plan of salvation, we must present our bodies as a holy sacrifice. The word "present" used by Paul in the original Greek means to take something in your hands and carry it to put in front of someone, in this case, God. We must deliberately and intentionally present ourselves before the Lord every day, recognizing our struggles, contradictions, and sinful tendencies, and surrendering them to God for Him to transform and make us new in Christ Jesus. This surrender and commitment are necessary for us to live a holy life. We must say to the Holy Spirit, "today, Lord, deal with me and do what you want from me. I present my life to you and ask you to continue working on it, perfecting, and purifying me." Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Presenting myself before the LORD every day is what fascinates me the most. I love you God.
What a beautiful reflection, Enrique. Standing before the Lord each day is truly a wonderful experience. As the passage from Romans 12:1 says, we must present our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, pleasing to God. It is a way of expressing our love and gratitude towards Him and allowing Him to work in us to transform us more and more into His image and likeness. May God bless you and continue to inspire you to have that desire to present yourself before Him every day.
Francisco Diaz S.: Siblings; we must present an offering to the Lord of the best we have.- Just as when a visitor offers an offering to the host and he delights and strives to serve him, all the more reason we must offer to God the Father and our Lord.- God is merciful.
That's right, Francis. As Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, when we present our lives before the Lord as a living and holy sacrifice, we are offering Him the best we have, and that is a demonstration of love and gratitude towards Him. It is true that God is merciful and he is always willing to receive us and work in our lives, but it is also important that we offer him the best of ourselves and that we strive in our commitment to live a holy and pleasing life to God. May the Lord continue to bless you and guide you on your way.
