Hoy vamos a mirar para concluir este tema la necesidad de tener un corazón agradecido delante de Dios por unos personajes importantes en nuestras vidas. Por cualquier persona que esté sobre nosotros como un líder un gobernador o las personas que Dios ha puesto en nuestro camino para ayudarnos a crecer en el camino de dios.

Primero miramos qué es lo que dice el Señor en su palabra en cuanto a este tema:

1 Timoteo 2:1-2
Reina Valera Actualizada
2 Por esto exhorto, ante todo, que se hagan súplicas, oraciones, intercesiones y acciones de gracias por todos los hombres; 2 por los reyes y por todos los que están en eminencia, para que llevemos una vida tranquila y reposada en toda piedad y dignidad.

Es ella nos anima a que nosotros seamos instrumentos de intercesión, clamando al Señor con palabras de acciones de gracias.

Necesitamos apoyarlos y fortalecerlos, también tratando de cuidarlos y ayudarlos para que ellos se cuiden sacando tiempo para salir a vacaciones con su esposa también con sus hijos y que tengan una revisión regular con el médico.

Recordemos que hay un enemigo de nuestras almas y él sabe que sí hiere al pastor va a herir a muchas ovejas por eso ellos tienen que enfrentar muchas tentaciones y ataques del enemigo.

No solamente hay que orar por nuestros gobernantes y líderes políticos pero también los espirituales y no solamente por ellos sino por sus familias que nos acompañan en esta misión Divina de ser líderes para el pueblo de Dios.

Acuérdense de sus dirigentes que les hablaron la palabra de Dios. Considerando el éxito de su manera de vivir, imiten su fe.
Hebreos 13:7 RVA2015


SRV-BRG
Acordaos de vuestros pastores, que os hablaron la palabra de Dios; la fe de los cuales imitad, considerando cuál haya sido el éxito de su conducta.
TLA
Piensen en los líderes que les anunciaron el mensaje de Dios, pues ellos confiaron siempre en Dios. Piensen mucho en ellos y sigan su ejemplo.

Noviembre 12: Librado de la emboscada.

Salmos 58:10‭-‬11 RVA2015
Salmos 59:1‭-‬17 RVA2015

El día de hoy vamos a utilizar dos salmos, el 58 y el 59, porque los dos tienen un tema en común y es cómo el malo ataca sin piedad, pero a la vez, cómo Dios nos libra en esos momentos.
Estos dos salmos son un clamor de David exponiendo las actitudes destructivas de los malvados que desde temprana edad dañaron su corazón para hacerlo malo y que son comparados como la serpiente o una cobra venenosa que está dispuesta a envenenar a cualquiera que estén al frente de ellos. Te animo para que leas todo el salmo completo.
El salmo 59 es muy parecido; y la Biblia especifica que fue escrito cuando Saúl envió a los soldados en la noche para que secuestraran a David, sorprendiéndolo cuando él estuviera dormido y matarlo en la mañana. Prácticamente, David sufrió su primera emboscada y fue tanto su decepción al enterarse que el rey al que él tanto servía y que era su suegro había decidido eliminarlo como a un criminal.
Ese odio sorprendió a David, aunque Saúl ya había amenazado de muerte muchas veces a David.
El caso de David es muy complejo, sabiendo que Saúl estaba dominado por espíritus malos que lo estaban llevando a cometer varias acciones atroces como matar a la familia sacerdotal de Ahimelec como lo aprendimos en el salmo 52. Te invito a que busques este devocional y lo escuches o lo leas otra vez.
Esto nos ilustra cómo personas que habían sido escogidas por Dios se dejaron llevar por el orgullo y arrogancia, por lo cual el Espíritu de Dios los abandonó y ahora están haciendo obras de maldad pero vestidos como ungidos de Dios.
¿Qué vas a hacer? ¿Te vas a rebajar al nivel de ellos? ¿Vas a pagar mal por mal?
Toma la posición de David. Haz todo lo posible en cuidar tu vida, tu mente y tu corazón. Reconoce que muchos abusan de su poder para manipular y destruir a su prójimo, identifica sus malas intenciones y protege tu vida, pero nunca cometas sus mismas acciones.
Muchos se frustran cuando un líder es injusto y entonces toman una actitud de odio o resentimiento. Se desaniman y dejan abandonado el ministerio que estaban desarrollando o peor aun, abandonan los caminos de Dios, arrastrando con ellos a su familia, afectando sus vidas espirituales. Es doloroso ver que, por un impulso de frustración, destruyen lo lindo que Dios está haciendo con ellos. David fue pulido en la prueba. ¡Tú también pasa la prueba!

Y más bien, deja la justicia en las manos del Señor, clama a Él y espera, porque verás cómo el Señor quebranta al maligno. Dedica tu vida al servicio del Señor, haciendo el bien y adorando en todo momento. ¡Canta de Su poder! como lo declara David. Mientras ellos buscaban matar a David en la mañana, ¡Dios no lo permitió, porque Dios se agradaba de la alabanza de David! Por eso Dios lo puso en un lugar alto donde Saúl no pudiera encontrarlo. Dios siempre lo libró del mal, lo protegió, y el mismo David sentía que estaba dentro de una fortaleza, seguro del poder de un ejército y de un rey malo.

Soy tu amigo y hermano Eduardo Rodriguez. Que el Señor Jesucristo escuche tu oración y tu cántico declarando el poder de Dios.

Te recomiendo la canción titulada ''Tu Poder'' (Creo en Ti ) de Tauren Wells y Christine D' Clario.

Recuerda que vamos a estar estudiando dos salmos en un día cuando sean parecidos o cuando sean muy cortos. Bendiciones.

November 12: Delivered from ambush.

Psalms 58:10-11:
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked, so that men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely He is God who judges in the earth.”

Psalms 59:1-17:
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; defend me...

Cuando recordamos y confesamos las bendiciones de Dios recordaremos Quién es la fuente de bendición.

Nosotros la raza humana somos seres que por naturaleza tenemos hacer olvidadizos fácilmente olvidamos Cuando alguien nos ha hecho un favor pero somos fáciles de recordar cuando alguien no puede hacernos ese favor y lo recordamos por años marcando resentimiento.
También nos da mucha amnesia tanto mental como espiritual.
No solamente olvidamos los favores que nos han hecho pero también olvidamos cómo Dios ha escuchado tantas veces nuestras oraciones en momentos desesperados pero cuando todo está calmado y todo está bien muchos tienen a olvidar a ese Dios y todas las promesas que le hicieron de servirle de adorarle y de cambiar su forma de vivir.
Salmo 40:3,5
Puso en mi boca un cántico nuevo, una alabanza a nuestro Dios. Muchos verán esto y temerán, y confiarán en el SEÑOR. Bienaventurado el hombre que pone su confianza en el SEÑOR y no vuelve la mirada a los soberbios ni a los que se enredan con la falsedad. Oh SEÑOR, Dios mío, tú has multiplicado tus maravillas y tus pensamientos para con nosotros. No hay nadie comparable a ti. Si intentara referirme y hablar de ellos, serían demasiados como para ser contados.

November 11: Even in the cage serve the Lord.

Psalms 57:1-11:
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by. I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me. He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth. My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let Your glory be above all the earth. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down; they have dug a pit before me; into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise. Awake, my glory! Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let Your glory be above all the earth.


We have been reading some of David's psalms when he fled from Saul's house and when he was hiding from him for a long time in the desert.
Apparently this psalm was written at the time when David fled from Saul and decided to hide in caves. Experts explain that in that area of ​​the terrain there are still many caves that look like labyrinths to this day. It was the perfect hideaway for many who escaped the law or had nowhere to live.
It was in a cave that David took refuge and was alone; it was also in a cave where he was tempted to kill Saul but decided not to do it out of respect for God's anointed and so that God would take judgment in his hands and not David.

It is incredible what God can do when a child of God finds himself going through a moment of danger, a tragic moment where his life has changed and he is completely confused.
While David was disturbed, something strange happened: people who were also in difficult situations began to seek refuge in David. People in debt, people in trouble, people who had no sense of life made themselves available to David's service, recognizing that David was a mighty man, a soldier, a captain and a leader that was being unjustly persecuted.
David took care to train these people into warriors to have an army of mighty men. This group of people who came with a shattered soul, with a downcast spirit and without any sense of life became great warriors who did feats on the battlefield in the time when David was a fugitive and later when he was already established as king of Judah and Israel.

If you find yourself like David in a state that seems like a cave away from society and the whole world, believe me that God is going to use that situation in a powerful way and in your favor. Don't focus on difficult circumstances, in that cave where you feel that you are, where you think that everything is over and that God can no longer use you. Instead, focus on looking around at other people who are in the same or worse situation, start using your talents and your knowledge to make others grow and be a positive influence in the lives of many. You will realize that, in the end, the trial will pass but your influence and the good works that you did in that stage will bear fruit and will last for a long time.

That is why David, after crying out to God for protection and to free and save him from evildoers, ends this psalm by encouraging himself to pick up a musical instrument and sing and praise the Lord with all his heart, thus demonstrating that his hope it is in the Lord despite the trial of persecution.

Consider this:
Have you found yourself in a moment of isolation?

I am your friend and...

✅La persona que nos va a enseñar este día a ser agradecidos en tiempos difíciles es el patriarca Job.

Job pasó una de las pruebas más grandes que un ser humano haya podido experimentar jamás.
Dios se agradó por la vida de Job y lo ponía como ejemplo de integridad y fidelidad a Dios.
Pero Dios le permitió pasar por diferentes sufrimientos, sin embargo, él había desarrollado el don de gratitud, no solamente por las bendiciones de Dios sino por su soberanía, su voluntad, sus planes, sus propósitos. Él fue más allá de lo superficial, de lo inmediato, de lo material, de las comodidades.

Miremos cómo fue que comenzó esta prueba y como reaccionó Job.
📖Job 1:21-22
Reina-Valera 1960
21 y dijo: Desnudo salí del vientre de mi madre, y desnudo volveré allá. Jehová dio, y Jehová quitó; sea el nombre de Jehová bendito.
22 En todo esto no pecó Job, ni atribuyó a Dios despropósito alguno."

✅Tu dolor no lo puedo medir con mi medida. Lo que para mí puede ser algo no tan duro, para ti puede ser lo más difícil que estés experimentando. Lo que si podemos llegar a un acuerdo es que el Señor que es soberano podrá ayudarnos a superar cualquier dolor o tragedia que estemos o vayamos a sufrir.
Si estás pasando por algo doloroso, me dirijo a ti con todo mi corazón y respeto, a que no desistas, no desmayes, a que hagas como Job y pongas delante de Dios todas tus preguntas, tus dudas, frustraciones, dilemas, cualquier expresión que pase por tu cabeza, cualquier sentimiento que estés experimentando, pero nunca abandones la fe, la esperanza única que tenemos en Jesucristo.

November 9: The pain of betrayal and how to overcome it.

Psalm 55:12-23:
For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; then I could hide from him. But it was you, a man my equal, my companion and my acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in the throng. Let death seize them; let them go down alive into hell, for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many against me. God will hear, and afflict them, even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change, therefore they do not fear God. He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken his covenant. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in You.


Below the title of this psalm there is a description saying that the type of song is called Maskil (Maschil). According to theologians, this is a kind of song to ponder. Personally, I think it is a song with a melancholic melody style because usually when we read the psalms marked as Maskil (Maschil) we see that it is a song where the psalmist was going through a moment of despair. And is not for less. In these verses that I just read, we can see the hard time that the psalmist was going through. He was being attacked from side to side by his enemies; but they were not just any enemy. The psalmist declares that the one who was attacking him was his friend.
David described what his relationship with that friend was like. It was a very close and intimate relationship. This character shared his ideas and plans with David. We can also assume that he accompanied David to the house of God and advised him on the task David did in establishing and restoring the worship of God in Israel and Judah.
It is not known exactly who this person was but according to the story of king David, one of his great advisers named Ahithophel betrayed him, supporting the putsch (coup d'etat) that his son Absalom had planned against his own father.
Ahithophel was viewed with great importance in the kingdom, and David trusted him blindly. When Ahithophel opened his mouth, everyone listened as if they were hearing the same voice of God. He was a very wise man.
We even see that David's son Absalom received David's forgiveness when he killed one of his brothers and was allowed to return to Jerusalem. Absalom won the favor of the people, and while he deceived his father by making him see that he was submitting to his authority, on the other hand he was growing stronger by speaking ill of his father and increasing his influence and fame.
Both Ahithophel and Absalom gained the king's trust, worshiped along with him, and were at the royal table advising the king.

When David was betrayed, he was devastated, then angry and even afraid. However, David always had full confidence in the Lord. Let's look at the actions he took to overcome that betrayal:
First, he was sure that if he cried out to God in the morning, in the afternoon and at night, the Lord would hear him.
Second, he counsels us to cast the entire burden on the LORD, and He will sustain us. Why? Because God will not let the righteous down forever.
That's how it is! David had already experienced falls many times, but in...

Debemos ser agradecidos por medio de cánticos oraciones por medio de nuestro testimonio y también haciendo obras de bondad a otros. Hoy vamos a mirar cómo el apóstol Pablo fue una persona que desarrolló el don del agradecimiento, no importando la circunstancia en que se encontrara. En todas las etapas o temporadas de su vida, él aprendió a tener una actitud de agradecimiento al Señor.

Primero le enseña a los colosenses este principio:


Colosenses 3:14-16
Reina Valera Contemporánea
14 Y sobre todo, revístanse de amor, que es el vínculo perfecto. 15 Que en el corazón de ustedes gobierne la paz de Cristo, a la cual fueron llamados en un solo cuerpo. Y sean agradecidos. 16 La palabra de Cristo habite ricamente en ustedes. Instrúyanse y exhórtense unos a otros con toda sabiduría; canten al Señor salmos, himnos y cánticos espirituales, con gratitud de corazón.

Esta semana vamos a estudiar una frase que estará de moda por estos días: Acciones de gracias.
Vamos a profundizar este concepto que en norteamérica se ha distorsionado. Ahora le dicen el "día del pavo".
Nació como celebración recordando como entre europeos y nativos comieron una vez juntos en armonía. Un dia patriótico.
Pero esto va más allá que un día o un mes del año. Es un mandamiento, una acción, un instrumento de crecimiento espiritual, un ejercicio del alma.

1- Demostraciones de agradecimiento :

Alabando. Alabar no son canciones rápidas. Son palabras que exaltan al Señor, mencionando su obras. Se alaba de muchas formas:
- Con canticos
- Con oraciones
- Con tu forma de vivir. (Testimonio)
- Con acciones. (al prójimo)

November 8: It's not your time yet.

Psalms 54:1-7
Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your strength. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen up against me, and oppressors have sought after my life; they have not set God before them. Selah
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who uphold my life. He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth. I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good. For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.


This is one of the psalms that king David composed when he was in exile, suffering persecution from king Saul, his boss and father-in-law. This event is found in 1 Samuel, chapter 23, in case you want to read it later.

David was one of the bravest men in Israel's army with the fame to have killed the giant Goliath and for having earned the right to marry king Saul's daughter. Disturbed and insecure, Saul decided to hunt down David and kill him because he was the main and direct candidate to replace him. David decided to hide in the desert, in the mountains, in the woods, and anywhere he could flee from Saul's wrath. Saul sought him out wherever he realized David's location. After God miraculously freed and saved him, David decided to go to the Zif desert. David received a great visit from Jonathan, his soul friend and the king's son. Jonathan gave words of encouragement to David, they made a pact of friendship and affirmed that David would be the next king of Israel, and Jonathan swore allegiance to him.
But the inhabitants of that land decided to win the favor of King Saul so they went to tell the king where David was. David shrewdly noticed and escaped from that region and went to a mountain. Saul noticed and began to surround him. So David was going up one side of the mountain and Saul was going up the other. When he was about to catch up, Saul received the news that the Philistines were invading the territory of Israel. In this way God freed and saved David from Saul's hand, and it was not the first but many times that God did not allow David and his soldiers to fall into Saul's hands. What's more, there were times like this when David had two opportunities to kill Saul with his bare hands, but he refused to do so because he was the Lord's anointed. David preferred to keep fleeing than to eliminate his enemy, because his hope was that the Lord would take care of doing justice, removing him from his way if that was in God's plans and if He wanted David as the king of Israel and Judah.
Precisely, yesterday's psalm was written at the moment when David decided to flee from Saul and left with nothing, not even with a sword to defend himself because Saul tried to kill him by sending the murderers to his own home.
Now we see a David who, although he was under constant pressure and many dangers, had great confidence in God, that the Lord was in his favor and in all those who help David to protect him.

It takes a lot of faith and perseverance to be able to trust the Lord in times of trouble. I hope you can learn today from David, to ask God for His protection and His blessing; and to continue trusting that God will put people by our side to help and succor us even if there are others who wish our evil.

I want to conclude this reflection with this verse from 1 Samuel 23:14: “And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.”

Just as God protected David and freed him because He had a special purpose with David, and it was to make him king of Israel and Judah, likewise the Lord still has great purposes with you, He has not finished His work in you, you still have to do...
