God speaks today Friday | July 25, 2025

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11)
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (Ephesians 1:4)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Your life plan is in Jesus

The world tells us to focus on ourselves and our own success, but God tells us to trust in Him and surrender our lives to Him. The joy that comes from God is not based on our own efforts, but on what He has done in us. Christians may face challenges and persecution, but we must carry our cross and follow Jesus, submitting to His authority and will. God has a perfect plan for us, and we must trust Him and live for Him to experience His fruit in our lives. Seeking information about God is good, but seeking revelation and a personal relationship with Him is transformative. Let Christ be at the center of our plans and trust Him. Read more...
