God speaks today Friday | August 8, 2025

And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: (Isaiah 58:10)
Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. (1 Corinthians 9:14)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

An urgent gospel

The passage of Matthew 8: 19-22 teaches us that following Christ requires great sacrifice, and many may be unwilling to pay the price. Three disciples missed the opportunity to follow Christ because they were not prepared to prioritize the Kingdom above their own comforts and obligations. However, as Christians, we are all spiritually qualified to witness and proclaim the Savior in our daily lives. God is looking for evangelists, and we should not be ashamed to share the Gospel and embrace the call to serve the needy and reach the lost. The Gospel is the power of God, and we are all chosen to proclaim it without excuses. Read more...

Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. (Matthew 10:10)
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. (Job 11:17)
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (Isaiah 58:7)
And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. (Psalm 37:6)

Heriberto : Hello, thank you very much for your kind words. Every day I have the opportunity to get to know the Lord God better.
Hello Heriberto! It's inspiring to see how you seek to know God more every day. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it's important not to postpone God's call to follow Him and preach His gospel. Keep moving forward on your path of faith. God bless you! Remember, as Isaiah 58:10 says, by helping those in need, your light will shine in the darkness.
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: I ask God that I may help helpless children, amen.
What a beautiful prayer, Sabino! Asking God for the opportunity to help disadvantaged children is an act of love and compassion that reflects the heart of Christ. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions, it is essential to act urgently and follow God's call to serve those in need. May God bless you in your desire to help. As 1 Corinthians 9:14 says, those who proclaim the gospel must live according to it. Courage in your journey of faith!
Washinton : Hello, if the texts could be from Reina Valera 1960
Hello Washington! Of course, here I share with you a fragment from the Reina Valera 1960 that relates to the urgency of following Christ and preaching His gospel: "And Jesus said unto him, Follow me: and let the dead bury their own dead" (Matthew 8:22, NKJV). This quote reminds us of the importance of prioritizing the Kingdom of God above all else. May this word inspire you to follow Christ without delay. Blessings on your journey of faith!
Jorge Eliecer Henao Muñoz : Yes, I was chosen, chosen, and predestined. I have that mission to fulfill, and this promise was given to me... Isaiah 55:4 I will appoint you as their leader. Now you are going to call a people you don't even know, and those strangers will come running just to see you, all because of the Lord your God. Amen, so I will do it, and his other promise Hebrews 6:14 will be fulfilled... I will surely bless you abundantly, and multiply you greatly... and I believe that he has already done so for the mission that I have to do.
¡Hola Jorge Eliecer Henao Muñoz! Es maravilloso ver tu convicción y fe en las promesas de Dios para tu vida.
