Dios es nuestro único y verdadero sustento

God is our only and true support!

 Pastor Eduardo preached today: 


God is our only and true Support. God is faithful and provides everything we need to live. We can always rely on God's providence. It is God who gives us life, food, jobs, friends ... God takes care of all the creatures on earth.

2 Corinthians 9: 8-10 And God is able to add all grace to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that is necessary, you overflow in every good work. As it is written: "He distributed, gave his goods to the needy;
his righteousness endures forever. "He who supplies the seed to the sower and the bread to the eater will also supply and multiply the seed and grow the fruits of his righteousness.

1- How to decide what to do? Surrender, revolt, fight, give up?

Today, we too are often tempted to become discouraged in the face of difficulties, life problems and the challenge of living in the family and in the community. How many times have you felt like giving up, leaving everything or being discouraged saying enough is enough. But faith supported you, Jesus guided you so that the waters of the sea of ​​life would not drown you. In the walk of the People of God through the desert, it was faith in God and unity that did not let the people disperse and be discouraged. Today, it is also the faith and unity of all, the solidarity experienced on a daily basis, that will help us to overcome obstacles, sin and death.

We are often afflicted in this way and, in very difficult situations, there is no other way to go but pray and seek the direction and support of the Lord.

 2- David's livelihood. Psalm 55 tells the story of when King David discovered that his own son Absalom had teamed up with the king's enemies to steal his throne. After much thought, King David gives us precious advice that was certainly a breath in that difficult moment: “Cast your care on the Lord and He will sustain you, He will NEVER allow the righteous to be shaken” Psalm 55:22

That's right, my beloved brother, that's the secret, to throw, to throw on God what ails us because He will be our unshakable sustenance.

3- Walk straight. But since this promise is also linked to justice, then, in order to claim it, we must also seek to walk uprightly (that is, always act correctly and honestly) so that it manifests itself in our lives with power.

1 Timothy 6:17 Command those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant, nor to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides us with everything, for our satisfaction.

Psalms 145: 14-17 The Lord supports all who fall and raises all who are prostrate. Everyone's eyes are on you, and you give them food in due time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of all living beings. The Lord is just in all his ways and kind in everything he does.
