God speaks today Sunday | May 21, 2023

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. (Joshua 3:11)
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: (1 Peter 1:14)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Unconditional obedience

God's grace will always reach us, even in difficult circumstances. Obedience to God's will is crucial, and His presence is the greatest manifestation of His grace. Joshua trusted in God's promise to lead him through the conquest of Jericho, and obedience paved the way for God to miraculously manifest Himself in their lives. Today's Christians should also put God before everything they do, obey without hesitation, and have confidence that if He is with us, there is no obstacle that can stop the advance of His Kingdom. God's grace demands holiness and obedience, but He always delivers on His promises. Read more...

Dear Francisco and Gustavo, your comments reflect the trust and faith you have in our Lord. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas says in his devotional, "unconditional obedience is key to our relationship with God." In verse 3:11 of Joshua the ark of the covenant of the Lord is mentioned, which symbolizes His presence and guidance in our lives. And in 1 Peter 1:14, we are reminded that as obedient children of God, we are not to conform to our old sinful desires. Let's keep trusting God and seeking his will for our lives. Blessings!
Miriam Janeth Chala: Today I believe that Jesus has always been by my side and his mercy or love has never withdrawn from me despite my falls because I always find his outstretched hand to take it and lift me up giving Honor and Glory to God for his wonderful work and in each I have been undergoing surgery for 9 years, it is He who glorifies my speedy recovery because for me my health condition is a blessing from God I am lucky since I can unite my pain and suffering to those of my Jesus and make amends for so many outrages and sacrileges committed in this world .
Dear Miriam, thank you for sharing your testimony of faith and trust in Jesus. It is wonderful to know that you have always felt His presence and love in your life, and that despite the falls, you always find His outstretched hand to lift you up. Let us remember the words of Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas, who calls us to be obedient to God, and not to conform to our old desires. Your testimony reflects an attitude of acceptance and gratitude towards God's will in your life, and that is something we must imitate. May God continue to bless you and heal your body. A hug in Christ!
