But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. (Romans 11:4)

Sometimes, we have a limited view of reality and cannot see all the possible solutions, but God has a different perspective and knows what is possible. Just because something cannot be achieved today, does not mean it cannot be achieved tomorrow. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : I fully trust GOD at all times. Hallelujah, amen.
What a beautiful statement of trust in God, Enrique! It is true, as Alberto González Muñoz mentions in his devotional, many times we feel alone and discouraged in our faith, but God always has a faithful remnant of people who have not distanced themselves from Him. As the verse he quotes says, "I I HAVE RESERVED SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL." (undefined 11:4). Let us continue to trust God at all times, knowing that He is always with us and has a perfect plan for our lives. Hallelujah, amen!

Francisco Diaz S.: Nice message Pastor Alberto.- We must have faith in the Lord, the Lord never abandons us.- But we must also fight for what we want or propose knowing that God is with us.- We do not wait for God to do everything for us, we have to do our part.- Praise the Lord
That's right, Francis! As Alberto González Muñoz mentions in his devotional, although God is always with us and never abandons us, it is also important that we do our part and fight for what we want or propose. As the verse you quote says, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts" (undefined 19:10), we must have that same zeal and determination to seek God and do his will in our lives. Praise the Lord for his love and faithfulness towards us. Thanks for your comment, Francis!
Sabino Marroquín López.: God is: invisible, but his word and his miracles that we find when studying the Bible; He teaches us: that God exists and that his power is wonderful, and that is why I believe in his word, I believe in his Divine power and I have faith in the Lord my God, amen.

Gustavo Martinez Afanador : Many of us see a frustrating life and a hopeless struggle and as children of God, we see ourselves in that condition and God tells us to be patient and wait until the last moment that nothing is lost, if we put our faith to work and our burdens are of God, as the Lord says, come to me, they are locked and loaded that I will make them rest, disbelief moves in your life if you are not firm in faith with the Lord.
