EL PROCESO DEL GETSEMANI NO SERA FACIL.
Toda persona que hace o anhela servir a Dios experimentará su Getsemaní. En el Getsemaní se producen las batallas espirituales, los momentos en que debemos pelear una lucha que no es con espada ni con ejército, una lucha que no es contra su hermano o su vecino sino con las fuerzas espirituales de maldad.

Y hay batallas espirituales que no se pueden pelear sino es con la oración, y nuestro Señor Jesús hace precisamente eso, en su humanidad se sentía peleando esta batalla espiritual. Y se apartó de sus discípulos, se sintió solo, aunque ellos estaban allí él sabía que esa batalla solamente la tendría que pelear a través de la oración.

November 30: Put in me the desire to please you.
📖 Psalm 85:1-9:
Lord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob. You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah
You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger. Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Your anger toward us to cease. Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations? Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? Show us Your mercy, Lord, and grant us Your salvation. I will hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land.

📖 Psalm 86:6-12:
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me. Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; nor are there any works like Your works. All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name.
For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name. I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore.

Psalm 85 is a celebratory psalm for the deliverance of God's people after long-term captivity. This is a psalm where the people of Israel had returned to their land but were still suffering the consequences of their wrongdoings.
That is why the psalmist asked the Lord to help them restore themselves and establish themselves in the midst of people who don't want to see them prosper.
The verse that catches my attention in this psalm is the statement of the psalmist in verse 8 where he decided in his heart to listen more to God's voice to receive His peace and direction. He made a point of listening to God so that he would not make the same mistakes of the past again. When he says "to folly”, he refers to the senseless and hasty decisions to commit evil and thus turn away from the Lord. Apparently, the people were already tired of the oppression by the persecution of attacks caused by the enemy, and rather they wanted to return to God to defend, heal and save them.

Turning to Psalm 86, here we also read several very nice verses to reflect on. For example, in verse 7 the psalmist knew that when one cries out to God in prayer and supplication, the Lord answers that prayer. The psalmist had developed and matured his faith that he was completely sure the Lord would answer him.
But verse 11 is the one that I liked the most because it is a sincere and personal petition. I think we should all pray this prayer today and ask the Lord that He, in His sovereignty, teach us to be faithful and give us a sensitive and humble heart to hear His voice and follow His ways so that we don’t stray from Him.
In a Spanish version of the Bible it says: "Grant me purity of heart so that I honor you." In another Spanish version it says: "Make me consecrate myself to you with all my heart so that I can honor you properly." In other words: the psalmist wanted to know in what way the Lord pleases the most in his daily life and he wanted to know the true meaning of a devout life; a life completely surrendered to the Lord.

I hope that these two psalms have inspired us to pray firmly, and ask the Lord for things that are not material but are to improve our relationship with God and that it is one of excellence.

Consider this:
Are you pleasing God in your own way of thinking or are you asking the Lord to teach you to please Him?

I am your friend and brother Eduardo Rodríguez. May the Lord...

Parte 1.
El nombre Getsemaní es derivado del idioma Arameo que significa “Prensa de Aceite”
Este es el nombre que recibía el huerto en el que Jesús se reunía a menudo con sus discípulos, también conocido como el monte de los Olivos.

Una prensa de aceite antiguamente era uno de los artículos más necesarios en las casas o en las bodegas de aceite.
Estaba hecha de piedra o hasta de madera, y era prácticamente una rueda donde las olivas eran puestas para ser prensadas, machacadas, o aplastadas para extraer de ellas el tan necesario aceite de olivas.

Jesucristo tuvo que pasar por la trituración del Calvario para que saliera de él lo mejor para salvación del mundo.

Así mismo, a nuestra vida vendrán pruebas y situaciones que servirán como una prensa, que van a apretar, que van a triturar, que lo van a exprimir, que va a causar dolor, que causará presión en nosotros, pero no con el fin de dañarnos ni de quebrarnos sino con el fin de extraer el mejor aceite.

November 29: The privileges we receive upon entering His presence.

📖 Psalms 84:1-12:
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young— even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. Selah
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
O God, behold our shield, and look upon the face of Your anointed. For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You!

📖 Psalms 85:7-13:
Show us Your mercy, Lord, and grant us Your salvation. I will hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the Lord will give what is good; and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.
🎤
These two psalms are very beautiful! Psalm 84 is a poem exalting the blessing of being in the house of God. It was a very great privilege for the Jews and for everyone who could go to the tabernacle or the temple and offer sacrifices of reconciliation and peace before the Lord.
The writer of this psalm shows us the privileges of drawing close to the Lord. Several verses here are impressive to me. When someone sets out to look to the Lord and seek His presence, they are showing that their trust and source of strength is only in the Lord, and they will begin to see miracles in their life.
If they go through dry valleys of tears, sadness and pain, their life will be transformed with rains of consolation and blessing. They will be people who will gradually see the power and glory of God in their lives, they will see how they overcome obstacles and achieve goals, experiencing successes and victories in their lives as they approach the mountain of God, as we studied in Psalm 75 a few days ago.
That is why the psalmist exclaimed his admiration for the house of God and said that he would rather spend a day of life in the corridors of the house of God than a thousand years in the houses of evil.
The secret of permanent and continuous blessing is that the person must be of integrity, leading an exemplary life according to the commandments of God.

The following Psalm 85 is a hopeful plea. Although the psalmist was crying out for God's mercy and help in a difficult moment, at the same time he glorified the Lord who is the One who will grant him the full blessing when God allows truth to be combined with mercy and peace with justice. What a beautiful combination! Don't forget to read this entire chapter.

Consider this:
How great is your passion for the presence of God?
Are you living a double life or are you living in integrity?

I am your friend Eduardo Rodríguez. May the Lord Jesus Christ hear your prayer and fill you with blessings when you cry out to Him in the temple.

I recommend you listen to this...

November 28: Unjust gods.

Psalms 82:1-8:
God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; free them from the hand of the wicked. They do not know, nor do they understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are unstable. I said, “You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.
But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.” Arise, O God, judge the earth; for You shall inherit all nations.

Psalms 83:1-5:
Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” For they have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You:


We are going to study two psalms. The 82 teaches us about the responsibility that we as human beings have. The Lord makes the claim to a group of beings that God calls "gods". He complains about the injustices that were being committed on earth and they did nothing about it. What's more, they committed or supported others in these evil actions. They were unfair because they favored the friend or the richest, they allowed themselves to be bribed, they did not help the widow or the homeless. The Lord was outraged that he called them to account and claimed this behavior.

Some think that these gods are angels, some think that they are rulers of the earth, and some think that they are the priests of Israel.
In my opinion, God is calling attention to all those who are His children, those who claim to know God but deny Him by their actions, to those who have the knowledge of who God is but have forgotten to follow His commandments.
The Lord Jesus Christ used this psalm to teach the Pharisees, Sadducees and religious leaders that God calls us gods, but if we continue in sin, injustice and wickedness we will suffer tragedies and death like any human being who is not a child of God.
That is why the noun "gods" is to differentiate the human being who does not know God from the one who does know God but continues to act as an impious, as someone who does not know the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
This is a warning to all those who have biblical knowledge or have some experience as members of a Christian church. The fact that we have experience in the religious area, Christian or evangelical, that does not give us an advantage to commit injustices and walk in sin. It is true that God is a God of love and of mercy, but that does not mean that we should abuse our privileged position as children of God.
In Psalm 1 the Lord says that the wicked will not rise up in the congregation of the righteous.
That is why the Jews felt that they had a greater position above all the Gentiles because they were descendants of Abraham, and that is why the Lord tells them that even if they are called gods, or are children of Abraham or are the chosen people of God, if they don't repent and don't believe in Jesus they will also die like anyone who is not knowledgeable of the Lord.

Psalm 83 is a psalm that lists all the enemies of the people of Israel. Of all those who rose up to destroy them. The psalmist made a request to the Lord to deliver them from these nations, and he was specific, writing the names of each of them. He also counted other nations and kings who were miraculously removed in the past, and he hoped God would do the same in this case.
Two lessons: First, as...

November 27: If you had listened to me I would have blessed you!
Psalms 80:1-7:
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up Your strength, and come and save us! Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! O Lord God of hosts, how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people? You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in great measure.
You have made us a strife to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. Restore us, O God of hosts; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!

Psalms 81:7-16:
You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
“Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you! O Israel, if you will listen to Me! There shall be no foreign god among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. “But My people would not heed My voice, and Israel would have none of Me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels. “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord would pretend submission to Him, but their fate would endure forever. He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you.”


These two psalms are very similar because they reflect the condition of Israel in their walk with God. At that time Israel was in a deplorable, sad, disastrous situation. They should be on a high level of faith and blessing, but because of their bad decisions, for turning away from the Lord, they were complaining, asking the Lord to rescue them.
In Psalm 80 we see that cry of an Israelite in pain, desperate for the Lord's help. I hope you can read the whole chapter so you can see the whole context.
Psalm 81 begins with praise and worship to the Lord for His blessings, and then this psalm continues with a statement from the Lord. God Himself is speaking here, expressing that His purpose and intention towards Israel is always to bless them and protect them from enemies, but the problem has been that they have decided to follow their own desires, turning away from the Lord. That is why the Lord says here that He gave them up because of the hardness of their hearts and their own advice. This reminds me of a verse in Proverbs where it says that let's not be wise in our own opinion.
This was precisely what Israel did. After arriving in the promised land and enjoying God's blessings, they forgot Him. As I said about Psalm 78, they were inclined to idolatry and preferred other gods than the God who led them out of Egypt with a mighty hand, miraculously kept them in the desert and gave them a land ready to receive the crops, to live in the houses and to put their animals because they already had built corrals.
That is why I am very moved to hear this psalm because we can directly hear the voice of God expressing His feelings, His frustration and His pain because He had beautiful plans for His people Israel but they decided to forget about God.
I am very impressed by this phrase that the Lord said to them: "Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!" In other words: "Ask me for whatever you want and I'm going to grant it to you." Imagine! That means that God was telling them to come in to eat whatever they wanted like at a buffet or banquet for free and without limits. It's like someone comes up to you and says: "Here's this blank check, just put in the amount you need."
Instead, they did not love the Lord, they rejected...

5. Finanzas.
¿Sabías que la Biblia habla del dinero, las posesiones y la acumulación de riquezas en más de 2.000 versículos? De hecho, 11 de las 39 parábolas que enseñó Jesús son sobre ese mismo tema. Probablemente se puede decir que Dios sabía que habría una tentación y una tendencia a manejar el dinero de forma inadecuada.

Lamentablemente, amamos y adoramos el dinero más de lo que deberíamos. A menudo deseamos tener más. Y pensamos que una posesión o una cantidad de dinero nos traerá una gratitud duradera, cuando en realidad, es sólo un arreglo temporal que pronto necesitará ser satisfecho de nuevo.

EL apostol Santiago nos dice que nuestro Dios es el dador de "toda dádiva buena y perfecta",
Santiago 1:17
Reina-Valera 1960
17 Toda buena dádiva y todo don perfecto desciende de lo alto, del Padre de las luces, en el cual no hay mudanza, ni sombra de variación.

y si aplicamos esto, nuestra mentalidad cambiará cuando se trate de nuestras finanzas.

Consideremos estos consejos cuando se trata de aumentar nuestra gratitud en esta área:

Dónde vives. Ya sea que nuestra casa sea grande o pequeña, la mayoría de nosotros tiene un lugar para vivir. Agradece a Dios por el regalo de un lugar para vivir sin importar el tamaño o el estilo.

Lo que posees. Muchos de nosotros tenemos ropa que no usamos, y tenemos la capacidad de escuchar música o leer libros en un dispositivo o aparato como un mp3 o telefono celular que nos permite obtener cualquier información que podamos encontrar. Pero seguimos queriendo lo que no tenemos. Tómate un tiempo para reajustar tu mente y agradecer a Dios por la provisión de tener lo que tienes.

Al alcance de tu mano. Si tienes la posibilidad de obtener agua limpia con sólo abrir la llave o grifo del agua o de comprar alimentos en una tienda de comestibles, entonces eres más bendecido que la mayoría del mundo. Agradece a Dios el don de estas comodidades.
No importa cuánto dinero ganemos, es prudente ver nuestros ingresos como un regalo. Lo más probable es que haya más gente en el mundo que pueda pensar que la vida que llevamos es increíble. Mantener nuestras vidas libres del amor al dinero nos ayudará a estar más satisfechos. Lo hacemos utilizando el dinero, no amándolo.

A raíz del deseo de ganar más dinero o posesiones hay un malentendido de lo que realmente necesitamos. Filipenses 4:19 NVI dice: "Y mi Dios satisfará todas sus necesidades según las riquezas de su gloria en Cristo Jesús". Dios se preocupa demasiado por nosotros como para darnos todo lo que queremos, pero nos ama inmensamente y satisfará nuestras necesidades.

Espero que esta serie de esta semana y los varios consejos prácticos que aprendimos, podamos ponerlos en práctica. Son muy sencillos y fáciles de aplicarlos.
Si estas enseñanzas han hecho un impacto en sus vidas por favor comunícate con nosotros, cuéntale al pastor como te ha ayudado, o escribenos por el facebook. Puedes dejar un comentario en público o un mensaje en privado por messenger.

November 26: Where is your God?

Psalms 79:1-13:
O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. The dead bodies of Your servants they have given as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth. Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them. We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those who are around us.
How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, and on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, for we have been brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; and deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake! Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let there be known among the nations in our sight the avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed. Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; according to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are appointed to die; and return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord. So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever; we will show forth Your praise to all generations.

The psalms that we have been studying, especially this group of psalms that belong to Asaph or his descendants, have a particular theme and it is the pain of the destruction of Jerusalem.
This psalm describes a scene of terror at the invasion of the enemy army, an army that had no respect or compassion for the people of the living God. And it is that God gave them into the hands of the enemy because they had abandoned the Lord for many years.
In the November 22 devotional we studied Psalm 74 and titled this devotional "How long?" In this Psalm 79 Asaph asks again the same question “how long?”, and in this case he refers to the wrath of God and the anger of the Lord with his people.
The psalmist could not bear to see the suffering of young and old, children, women, and the elderly. And not only was it the people's own suffering, it was also the mockery and contempt of the enemies, showing them in their faces that their God was not strong enough to protect them. It really was a very big humiliation when they said to them: "Where is your God? Where is the glory of the God of Moses, Joshua and the great kings? The God of this temple bathed in gold?

Don't miss tomorrow's devotional where we will understand the why of the consequences of the people of Israel and why God did not protect them from their enemies.
The people of Israel accepted their guilt too late. They themselves had caused this calamity and had to listen to the mocking voices of their oppressors. This was very painful because they knew what God could do. They were delivered many times from the hand of the Assyrians, Midianites, Philistines and different armies that sought to invade the Jewish territory.
In this case, the psalmist asked the Lord not to continue punishing them for their sins and to fill them in abundance with his mercies, his compassion and forgiveness. The psalmist wanted the prisoner to be free and that the condemned to death be forgiven; he wished to see the glory of Israel restored again and hear the praises of God from a forgiven and redeemed people.

I hope this lesson teaches us not to forget the Lord our God and not to play with our salvation. That today we can learn from them not to make the same mistake, following our own wishes, ignoring the advice of God's messengers; rather let us...

Cuando Dios creó a Adán, le dio un trabajo. Génesis 2:15 "Tomó, pues, el SEÑOR Dios al hombre y lo puso en el jardín de Edén, para que lo cultivara y lo guardara". Por lo tanto, ¡el trabajo ha existido desde el principio de los tiempos!

Todos nosotros trabajamos en algo. Antes de poder ganar un salario monetario, podemos trabajar en la escuela o hacer tareas en nuestra casa. A medida que envejecemos, conseguimos ese primer trabajo y encontramos una nueva autoestima al ganar nuestro primer sueldo. Al llegar a la edad adulta, encontramos un papel o una carrera que nos convenga, incluso si se trata de cuidar a nuestras familias a tiempo completo en casa.

Independientemente de cómo sea cada una de nuestras "carreras", tenemos la oportunidad de vivir una vida de gratitud por cómo Dios nos ha llevado hasta donde estamos. Aquí hay algunas maneras de estar agradecidos por el trabajo que Dios nos ha dado para hacer:

Cambia tu lente. Incluso si no eres feliz en tu trabajo actual, agradece la posibilidad de tener un empleo (o de quedarte en casa con tu familia), y tómate tiempo para orar por aquellos que están luchando contra el desempleo...

Estás ganando algo. Independientemente de tu nivel de ingresos, puedes agradecer a Dios por su provisión en tu vida. Puedes estar agradecido por lo que tienes, en lugar de centrarte en lo que no tienes.

Haz una lista de lo que amas. Cada trabajo tiene cosas que te gustan. Podrían ser los beneficios de salud o de jubilación, o podría ser un amigo cercano que has hecho mientras trabajabas allí. Centrarte en lo bueno fortalecerá tu corazón hacia el agradecimiento.

November 25: Forming the faith of the new generation.

Psalms 78:1-17:
Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He has done. For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born, that they may arise and declare them to their children, that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments; and may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them. Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. He divided the sea and caused them to pass through; and He made the waters stand up like a heap. In the daytime also He led them with the cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. He split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink in abundance like the depths. He also brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. But they sinned even more against Him by rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.


This psalm is a retelling of the history of Israel from the time they left Egypt until the reign of David. It is a very interesting summary and I encourage you to read the chapter completely.
It is a psalm written as a reflection and warning for adults, parents or those who are in charge of children and young people.
One of the best teachers for human beings is history. Learning from the past and not repeating the same mistakes is a practical way to be able to illustrate with examples to the new generation as established by God in the law. Not only so that they would learn to be true followers and worshipers of the Lord, following God with all their heart, but also so that they would not forget the Lord and commit the same sins as their ancestors.
This is a great lesson for everyone. We like to tell our children about our achievements, goals achieved, feats of grandparents, renowned positions achieved by a member of the family, etc. but we avoid telling the mistakes that we also made in the past or any member of the family. Perhaps out of embarrassment or for not continuing to remember the pain caused by that loved one who made a mistake.
Although it is painful, we must think about what things or how we must also tell those mistakes. Let's tell the good, the bad and the ugly. That our children learn from our bad decisions or consequences that we have committed in our lives so that they don't repeat history. Let them know that we are human beings who made mistakes, that we faced painful consequences and that we learned from them. This exercise can be done according to their ages and without necessarily going to specific details, but focusing on the moral and spiritual lesson.

Usually the enemy will seek to bring down the next generation of the family with the same traps. Israel continually fell into idolatry. They carried idols from Egypt, when they went out and walked through the desert, and even when they arrived in the promised land, they worshiped the new idols of the land where God was going to bless them. They followed the idols of Egypt and Canaan. They tempted the Lord many times with their...
