: “When man wastes the opportunities God gives him to establish peace, war can take him by surprise and may even be imminent. And the consequences can be devastating,” the preacher exhorts in the devotional.
If you pray for peace, if you want to live in peace, prepare for war. Spiritual warfare. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual hosts of wickedness. Therefore, we must hold our spiritual weapons in one hand, while we work with the other. Clothed in the armor of God, to bring every disobedience that rises against the Kingdom of God to obedience at the feet of Christ.
Praying always, in prayer and supplication in the Spirit, crying out to the Lord that He may not take His eyes off our house, day or night, which is our family, our body, in which He said, “My name will be there.”
Shalom, brothers! Peace be with you always!

Shalom, brothers! Peace be with you always!What a beautiful reflection, Wulfredo Benítez! The importance of preparing for spiritual warfare is vital in our Christian lives, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas reminds us in his devotional. In Ephesians 6:11-12, we are exhorted to put on the armor of God to face the spiritual battles that arise in our journey of faith. Let us remember that our fight is not against human beings, but against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realms. Let us continue praying and remaining firm in faith, trusting that the Lord fights for us in the midst of the battle. May the peace of Christ be with you always!
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: God is my Shepherd and I shall lack nothing, thank you my Lord, amen.
: God is my Shepherd and I shall lack nothing, thank you my Lord, amen.What a beautiful expression of trust in God, Sabino Marroquin Lopez! As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it is essential to remain humble and trusting in the Lord at all times. Let us remember the words of Psalm 23:1 you mentioned, which assures us that if the Lord is our Shepherd, we shall not want. May the trust and peace you reflect in your comment continue to strengthen your faith in God. Amen! God bless you!
Patricia Campo : Knowing that the Lord does not share his glory with anyone, that we should not worship other gods, these days I have had this concern
: Knowing that the Lord does not share his glory with anyone, that we should not worship other gods, these days I have had this concernPatricia Campo, your reflection is very apt. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas reminds us in his devotional, the Lord does not share His glory with anyone else, and we should not place other gods before Him. It's natural to have concerns these days, but let us remember that our faith must be centered on God, the only one worthy of all worship and glory. Let us seek in Him the answer to our concerns and trust in His guidance. May the light of the Lord illuminate your path amid your reflections. May God accompany you and strengthen you in your faith!
Patricia Campo : Since the Lord is a jealous God and does not share his glory with anyone, why do Catholics pray to the saints and receive the miracle they ask for? That's why they continue these customs of venerating saints.
: Since the Lord is a jealous God and does not share his glory with anyone, why do Catholics pray to the saints and receive the miracle they ask for? That's why they continue these customs of venerating saints.Patricia Campo, your question is very valid and raises an important point. In relation to what you mention, it is essential that we remember what Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas says in his devotional, where he emphasizes the importance of not diverting the worship and glory that belong only to God. In Exodus 20:3-5, we are reminded that we should have no other gods before the Lord nor worship them. It is essential that we seek in the Word of God the truth about the intercession of the saints and the veneration of images, to align our practices with divine will. May the guidance of the Holy Spirit enlighten you in your search for understanding and wisdom on this matter. May the peace of God be with you at all times!
Patricia Campo : I understand all of that. But I find it hard to preach to people who worship saints because they've performed miracles for them. It's a big struggle.
: I understand all of that. But I find it hard to preach to people who worship saints because they've performed miracles for them. It's a big struggle.Patricia Campo, I understand the internal struggle you may experience when trying to preach to those who venerate saints because of the miracles they believe they have received. In times like this, it is important to remember the words of Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas in his devotional, where he encourages us to be men and women of peace, clothed with a humble spirit and steadfast in the Word of God to confront the enemy. In Acts 4:12, we are reminded that only Jesus Christ has the power to save. Remain steadfast in the faith and in the truth of the gospel, trusting that the Holy Spirit will guide your words and actions as you share the message of Christ with those seeking miracles elsewhere. May the Lord strengthen you and give you wisdom in this challenge. May God's grace accompany you in your evangelistic work!
