A faithful remnant

Comments:

Carlos A. Borja Flores: What a great lesson this devotional gives us. Who am I trusting in to solve the problems that we face in our lives? Am I trusting in the Lord? The answer is: I must rely on the Name of Jehovah God who will always have a people who trust in Him, and this will be a poor and afflicted people.
What a profound reflection this devotional gives us! It is crucial to remember that we must trust in the Lord in the midst of the problems and challenges we face in life. As the devotional mentions, by trusting in the name of Jehovah God, we join that faithful remnant that always trusts in Him, even in the midst of affliction and poverty. Let us remember the verse from Zephaniah 3:12 that reminds us that God will leave in our midst a humble and poor people who will take refuge in His name. Let us continue to reflect on whether we are truly trusting in the Lord in all areas of our lives, just as the devotional inspired by Luke 12:32 invites us to do, where we are reminded that we should not fear, for the Father has decided to grant us His kingdom. Are we placing our trust in Him in every circumstance we face? Remember that trusting in the Lord is essential to fulfill the purpose He has for us. May these reflections encourage us to strengthen our faith and trust in God!

Your desire to worship God and to be part of His faithful remnant is a sign of your heart devoted to Him. May your longing to be part of that people who trust in the Lord be constant and may your worship of God be sincere and deep.
