God speaks today Thursday | May 8, 2025

And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. (2 Chronicles 20:3)
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Don't be afraid to admit that you are afraid!

Many people suffer because they prefer to do things on their own and don't seek wisdom from God. King Jehoshaphat learned the hard way and went to God for help. It's better to admit you're afraid and seek help than to insist on using your own inadequate resources. James 1 says to ask God for wisdom, and Psalm 32 promises that God will teach us the way we should walk. The Holy Spirit is our Instructor, leading us to all truth. Trust in God and commit your way to Him. Read more...

Comments:

Oscar Rodríguez : May God guide our steps and decisions, Amen 🙏.
God guides us and gives us wisdom to make decisions amidst our difficulties, as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional reminds us. As he mentions in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Trust that God will give you the direction and clarity you need on your path. What a beautiful prayer you have, Oscar! May God continue to guide and strengthen you at all times! 🙏
Efigenia Vidal : In my daily actions, set aside for the Lord, I ask for His guidance and surrender the day, may it be according to His will and not man's, because we believe that all is well according to our thoughts, but God is the one who straightens the path we must walk. For this, I thank God, because the word of God used in each devotional reaffirms the commitment to obedience to honor God's love and for the good of the believer. God bless you.
What a beautiful reflection, Efigenia. Your commitment to seeking God's direction in every step you take is inspiring. Just as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, we commit our paths to the Lord and trust in His wisdom to straighten our path, as Psalm 32:8 also reminds us, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go." May your daily commitment be a testimony of faith and obedience that honors God's love. May God continue to bless your life abundantly! 🙏
Francisco Diaz S.: Let us repeat "IN GOD I TRUST" at all times when we get up, when we take on our tasks, in difficult moments, when we make decisions, because we must trust in God and only in God. May God's mercy cover us this day and always.
What a beautiful and powerful statement, Francisco. Constantly remembering that we must trust in God at all times is key in our daily lives, as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional encourages us and as we see in 2 Chronicles 20:3 with Jehoshaphat seeking the Lord in the midst of difficulty. Trust in His direction and provision in every aspect of your life, and may His mercy be with you always. May God's peace and grace surround you at all times! 🙏
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: The projects I am developing are with the intelligence and wisdom that God grants me, to help helpless children.
It's beautiful to see how you recognize that the intelligence and wisdom you possess come from God, Sabino. As Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions, seeking divine wisdom is essential in every project or task we undertake. As he reminds us in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault, and it will be given him." May the light of God's wisdom shine in your projects for the benefit of disadvantaged children. May God continue to guide your steps and bless your work! 🙏
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: I thank God for the intelligence and wisdom he gives me. Amen.
It's beautiful to see your gratitude to God for the intelligence and wisdom He grants you, Sabino. Recognizing that every gift comes from God is key, as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional reminds us. In Proverbs 2:6 we are told, "For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." May this gratitude continue to strengthen your faith and may you continue to trust in divine provision with every step you take. May God's wisdom and grace continue to guide your path! 🙏
Rodolfo Manuel Quirós Ramirez : A beautiful word, reminding us that without God, we can do nothing. As the word says in Romans chapter 8 verse 31: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Man who walks without God is like a boat without a rudder. God bless you always.
What a beautiful message, Rodolfo. Your reminder about the importance of depending on God at all times reflects a profound spiritual truth. As you mention, Romans 8:31 reminds us that if God is for us, no one can be against us. Trust that God's presence and power guide and support you in every step you take, just as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional mentions. May God's blessing and grace continue to illuminate your path. May God always keep you under His love and protection! 🙏
Luis Alfredo Ramirez Cano: Only by trusting in the Lord, believing in His Promises and His Word. We must not only believe in God, we must believe in the Lord. Our doubts, our strength, and our fears are what lead us to make wrong decisions and take wrong paths; we must only ask God the Father to guide us, direct us, and fill us with His Infinite Wisdom; we must listen when He speaks to us. His purposes are above our desires and needs. He will always lead us to victory and to the path He has in store for each of us.
What a profound and faith-filled reflection, Luis Alfredo. Your reminder of the importance of trusting in the Lord, believing in His promises and His Word, is fundamental to our spiritual lives, as Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional teaches us. Asking for God's guidance and wisdom, and being attentive to His voice, helps us make wise decisions and follow the path He has prepared for us. May trust in God and His purposes strengthen you in every step you take. May His grace and love continue to fill your life with peace and blessing! 🙏
