God speaks today Friday | April 25, 2025

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. (Psalm 5:3)
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. (Mark 6:30)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Live life close to Jesus

The disciples return from a missionary trip and share their experiences with Jesus. It is important to have a continuous dialogue with God and to stick close to Jesus in our ministerial life. We should seek strength, vigor, and wisdom from Him before starting any task and return to Him at the end of the day to recharge our spiritual batteries. Our relationship with Christ should be one of total intimacy and dependence, as without Him we can do nothing. We must cultivate this sense of total dependence and adherence to Him in our daily lives. Read more...

Comments:

Oscar Rodríguez : Amen 🙏.
What a beautiful comment, Oscar Rodriguez! It's important to maintain that daily connection with God, just as Psalm 5:3 says: "In the morning you will hear my voice, O LORD; in the morning I will offer my prayer to you, and with eager expectation I will wait." Living close to Jesus allows us to receive His training, power, and guidance every day. May God continue to bless you on your journey of faith!
Efigenia Vidal : Blessed be God for His word, which He demonstrates daily; for the closeness and access to His presence, as we turn to Him to place everything in His hands and receive His wisdom and intelligence to act, trusting that everything done in obedience will go well. I always ask for direction and guidance in things, no matter how small they may be. Because I don't know everything. God bless you.
What a beautiful testimony, Efigenia Vidal! It's wonderful to see how you live this closeness to God and seek His guidance in every step you take. As Marcus 6:30 mentions, "The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to Him all they had done and taught." It's essential to return to Jesus at the end of each day to receive His interpretation and advice. May God continue to bless and guide you on your path of obedience and faith. May His wisdom continue to illuminate every step you take!
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : What a beautiful message, reminding us that we must be united with the Lord Jesus at all times. And he says it in his word: without me you can do nothing. God bless you always.
What a beautiful comment, Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez! It's true, as you mention, the importance of remaining united with Jesus at all times, remembering His words in John 15:5: "Apart from Me you can do nothing." It is in this constant union with Him that we find strength, direction, and power to carry out our daily work. May God continue to bless and guide you in your journey with Him. May His presence be your guide and strength always!
Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano: The presence of the Lord is always with us; He dwells in our hearts, and only what is abundant in the heart can emanate from our mouths. Our mind must be controlled. James 1:14: Each person is tempted when his own evil desires drag him away and entice him. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Every day we must ask the Lord for his blessing. We must not be anxious about anything, because the worries of each day lead us to seek solutions in our own strength, which often lead us to the wrong path. We will be bad witnesses of our Father's work, for by their fruits you will know them. Every day we must allow the Lord to guide us with his wisdom, to be attentive to listen to his voice, his guidance. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
What a profound reflection, Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano! It is true that the Lord's presence dwells in our hearts and that what abounds there is reflected in our words and actions, as you wisely mention. Just as you express with the references to James 1:14-15 and Philippians 4:6-7, it is essential to entrust our concerns to the Lord, seek His guidance, and keep our hearts and minds focused on Him so as not to fall into the trap of sin. May God continue to illuminate your path and may His peace always guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus. May you continue to be a living testimony of His love and power in your life!
Alfio: Always grateful and blessed for the reflection of each day, it is difficult for me to start the day without seeking these words that lead me to communion with God, you being a means through which God often speaks to my heart. God bless you and strengthen you in this Ministry.
What a beautiful testimony, Alfio! It's inspiring to see how you value the importance of beginning the day in communion with God and how these reflections bring you closer to Him. As you mention, receiving and meditating on the Word of God strengthens and guides us in our daily journey. May the Lord's blessing continue to accompany your life and may His love and wisdom continue to speak to your heart through the teachings you receive. May God continue to strengthen you and use you for His glory!
Francisco Diaz S.: Let us live in communion with God through his beloved Son Jesus, who came into the world for our salvation. To live outside his orbit is to live stumbling in the dark. Let us live with Jesus.
What a beautiful comment, Francisco Diaz S.! It's true that living in communion with God through Jesus is the key to finding true light and direction in our lives. As you mention, straying from that communion leads us to stumble in the darkness. May Jesus' presence and guidance continue to be the beacon that illuminates your path and sustains you at all times. May you continue to live in His love and light every day!
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, are my infinite true love, amen.
What a beautiful declaration of faith, Sabino Marroquin Lopez! Recognizing God's infinite love in His Trinity is an act of profound worship and surrender. May this love, which comes from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, continue to fill your life and guide every step you take. May the presence of the Holy Trinity be your strength and refuge at all times! Amen!
