God speaks today Tuesday | December 16, 2025

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (Psalm 40:8)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)

Accepting God's Will - Why Does It Cost Us?

Salvation is free, but following Christ is expensive. We must not conform to the values of this world, which is antagonistic to God.

Eduardo: Thank you for sharing the word
I'm so glad you were blessed by the message shared by Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas! It's important to reflect on the importance of following Christ and not settling for the empty promises of this world. What inspired you most about this passage?
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: Thank you, my God, for this new day. Amen.
It's beautiful to start the day with a prayer of thanksgiving to God. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions, it's essential not to be content with the things of this world, but to seek God's will at all times. How do you think you can apply the teaching of not conforming to the mold of this world in your daily life? Have a blessed day!
Efigenia Vidal : Thank you, Lord, for bringing me out of the darkness of the night and into the marvelous light of our Lord Jesus Christ, so that I may follow the path of grace and blessing for others. It is not easy, truly not, to accept moments of affliction, and consequently, to understand that everything is subject to the power of God, because nothing happens in this world without His consent. Everything has a purpose and a hope for those who believe and live in obedience to the word of God. It is not easy to subdue the flesh, but if we live seeking His presence and guidance, He makes it possible until we reach the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God's blessing be with you all.
What a beautiful reflection, Efigenia. Your testimony is powerful and reflects a deep connection with God. As you mention, accepting moments of affliction and submitting to God's will is not easy, but as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas says, following Christ is costly but glorious. Being in the light of Jesus Christ gives us the strength and hope to face any situation. May God's blessing continue to accompany you on your walk of faith. Have a day filled with peace and love!
Claudia: I greatly bless this ministry; every word shared each day comforts me. I ask for prayer that my siblings Remo Alberto and Mónica may experience the fullness of Christ in their lives and receive physical and spiritual healing. Thank you, beloved in Christ Jesus. Amen.
It's beautiful to see how the Word of God, through ministries like this, can comfort and strengthen our lives. Claudia, your prayer request for your siblings Remo Alberto and Mónica is very precious. Let us remember, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas says, that following Christ also means sharing the burdens of our brothers and sisters and praying for one another. May the fullness of Christ and His physical and spiritual healing be manifested in their lives! May God continue to bless you and your loved ones. Amen!
