So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. (2 Kings 5:9)
For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

My ways are not your ways, nor are My thoughts your thoughts

In the story of Naaman, God humbles him and breaks his pride by instructing him to wash in a simple and humble river, rather than in more grand rivers. God often uses simple and humble means to perform His miracles and looks at the heart, rather than external appearances or credentials. Christians should learn to think in a different way and have a mind that reasons as the Spirit of God does, in order to be open to what God wants and for Him to work in their lives. Read more...

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (James 4:6)
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. (Matthew 23:12)

Anny: Could you please explain to me about spiritual illnesses?
Hi Anny! Spiritual illnesses are conditions of the soul and spirit that distance us from God and affect our relationship with Him. Like physical illnesses, spiritual illnesses require diagnosis and treatment. Some examples of spiritual illnesses can be pride, envy, unforgiveness, unbelief, among others. Through prayer, reading God's Word, fellowship with other believers, and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can heal these spiritual wounds and strengthen our faith.

Efigenia Vidal : Before God, we cannot present ourselves with worldly gifts, but rather with an empty vessel to be filled with His presence, His grace, and love. God always urges us to go before Him with a humble heart. Humility brings us closer to God, while pride distances us. Naaman's experience allows us to understand that for God, everything is established, and He fulfills His will, no matter how much petulance there may be in trying to tell God how to act with our afflictions. If He allows them, it is for a reason, and it is for necessary changes, because He straightens His path before man. Certainly, as the Word says and Pastor Roberto Miranda vows, "God's thoughts are higher than ours." A good topic for today's devotional. God bless you greatly.
Hello Efigenia Vidal! What a beautiful reflection you've shared! It's true that we must present ourselves before God with humility and sincerity, recognizing that He is the one who can fill us with His presence, grace, and love. The story of Naaman teaches us the importance of submitting to God's will, even when we don't understand His ways. His sovereignty and wisdom always prevail, reminding us that His thoughts are higher than ours. May your comment inspire many to approach God with humility and trust in His perfect plan. May God bless you abundantly! 🙏
Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: In his presentation, Pastor Miranda gives us a glimpse into the human nature of those who present themselves to the Lord and desire to receive Him, without abandoning their pride, without allowing humility to flourish, full of vainglory, they have not left the world. They are people who believe themselves to be more Christian and more children of God than others. God is a God of the impossible, and only He has the power to make things happen. Just as He chooses the weakest to demonstrate His greatness, He also chooses us to prepare us, for He does not call the prepared, He prepares the one who calls.
Hello Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano! Thank you for your insightful comment. It's true that sometimes we can approach God with pride and vainglory, without allowing humility to flourish in our hearts. It's important to remember that God seeks humble hearts willing to submit to His will, recognizing that only He has the power to transform us and do great things through us. His choice is not based on our strength, but on His ability to prepare us to fulfill His purpose in our lives. May these reflections inspire us to remain humble and receptive to God's transforming work in us. May God bless you richly! 🙏
Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: In his presentation, Pastor Miranda shows us human nature, the essence of those who seek the Lord without abandoning their pride and vainglory, those who believe themselves to be more Christian and more children of God than others. To reach the Lord, He initially tries to foster humility in our hearts, to understand that without Him we are nothing. We do not decide the place, the time, or the position when we will serve the Lord, for He does not call those who prepare themselves; He prepares those who call.
Hello Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano! Thank you for sharing your perspective on Pastor Miranda's teachings. It's true that we can often approach God with pride and boasting, but it's through the process of humility and submission that we can truly experience His transforming power in our lives. Recognizing that without God we are nothing helps us remain humble and open to His direction in our Christian journey. May your comment inspire others to seek humility and the willingness to be molded by God's hands at all times. May God continue to guide and bless you abundantly! 🙏
