Psalm 34:8-9

God is so great and amazing that we can just not only think of Him but also experience Him with our different senses, there are no limits for God. My relationship with Him can go beyond that just a thought. Sometimes I limit Him in my ways to pursue Him were I just think that He will show Himself when I read my Bible in the morning or by a teaching or Bible lesson, not reaching a greater awareness of our God. This has drawn me into a state were I believe that my relationship with Him is superficial and that He is not around. Few days ago, I made a difficult decision were I knew I was making the right decision but I didn’t seek Him at all. I made it in my own strength even though the decision was under His fear, I know there could have been something the Lord could have shown me more in the situation. He is my Shepherd and He is in control, He takes care of me in every detail, He doesn’t want me to be alone but He gives His hand to help me out. It has been me who has denied His voice. It is easy to make myself fool and play with my flesh and thoughts, but also it is easy to see Jesus. Hebrews says that He is aid to help us in temptation, very often I don’t see Him but I chose to see me and my past victories. Time after time I see how peaceful is to pray to the Lord whenever I am in a hard situation and allow Him to be my refuge. As a refuge He covers me all and there is nothing He can’t handle for me, the more I open my eyes to see Him the more it becomes real to me and sets my heart in thankfulness.

Application:

Pray to the Lord about the decision I made and humble myself, surrendering the situation and open myself to hear what He has for me.

1 Corinthians 9:22

What another demonstration of love to our neighbors or to people than to be emphatic with their lives and share with them the gospel? Knowing that God called me to be a disciple and to share the gospel to people has opened my eyes. His calling qualifies me, even though I feel like I am not ready or don’t have enough love for others, I have stopped trying and just letting Him work in me and through me.  Being honest, it is hard for me to be open to all people I face or get to know, but it is even harder when it is people that I know or are my friends. I believe this happens because of my lack of faith in Him. Now that I am in a real relationship with Him, my love and passion has been growing. My heart opens more and more every new time we get to do outreaches or share the gospel.  I can’t love people with my heart, but I can love them with His love. In my strength is hard to lay down and try to talk to everyone, but His faithfulness and passion for them is what makes me move. N

Luke 3:14

Just like the soldiers, several times I have asked myself if what I am doing is right, if I am pouring all the effort I can. It is easy in school because they give grades and report cards, in some way they help to draw conclusions. Every day in real life’s scenario is a test; were attitude, thoughts, and decisions will build the outcome.  Sometimes we are drawn by earthly things or ambitions, we keep on asking: “what is the new trend?”, “what is the best car in the market now?”, etc. But how many times do we ask questions to improve ourselves? Ask where our heart is or in what are we pouring our hearts to. What John answers to the soldiers relates perfect with what Jesus told us to do: love my neighbor as I do for myself. We often look ways to earn more by hurting people, because it is easier to take from other person than to work hard for it.  Soldiers are used to receive commands and rules, they are good at obeying and following. We shall imitate them and follow Jesus’ c

Philippians 3:8

All my life, before three months ago, I gave earthly things more value than God. It was based on my dreams and desires, without wanting His will in it. Looking to have God for my own purposes, instead of me living for Him. Living for my own sake took me to several failures and disappointments, for finally surrendering myself to Jesus. His love showed me that I had purpose and meaning in this earth, but it is only going to happen in His hands and ways, not in mine.  I never had the habit of reading His word, and now reading it; has opened my eyes and been light to my path. Now I know who He really is, and this makes me want to know Him more and have a closer relationship. The scriptures confront my acts and thoughts, making me surrender my life every day. Before it was a burden to do that, now is a desire to give up myself for Him because I want to please Him and because I can’t in my own strength.  His fire ignites my heart in a way that what I used to give importance, it has
