DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2023“YO ESTOY CONTIGO”Narrado por: Roberto NavarroDesde: Montreal, CanadáUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 05 DE NOVIEMBRE "ANTES QUE CLAMEN, YO RESPONDERÉ" Antes que clamen, yo responderé; aún mientras están hablando, yo habré oído (Isaías 65:24). Poco antes de finalizar su libro, el profeta Isaías nos dejó esta preciosa y grandísima promesa del Señor: "Antes que clamen, yo responderé; mientras aún estén hablando, yo habré oído" (Isaías 65:24). ¿Alguna vez te ha pasado eso? ¿Has descubierto que Dios ya había respondido tu oración antes de que la hicieras? En la edición de octubre de 2020, la revista Adventist World incluyó un artículo que da testimonio fehaciente de lo dicho por el profeta Isaías.La Iglesia Adventista Sharon, ubicada en Portland, Oregón, Estados Unidos, tiene un ministerio que se encarga de repartir comida a los más necesitados. Para realizar esta encomiable labor, la iglesia recibe la ayuda de los Servicios Comunitarios Adventistas de Portland. Un martes, el pastor Garth Dottin llamó a los Servicios Comunitarios y les pidió comida para ciento veinte familias. Recibió una respuesta positiva y se le informó que podía recoger la comida el viernes por la mañana. Con el fin de asegurarse de que lo había entendido bien, el pastor llamó el miércoles y le confirmaron que ya los alimentos estaban siendo empacados. El jueves por la tarde volvió a llamar y le dijeron que ya los palés estaban listos, que al día siguiente podía pasar a recogerlos. Confiado en que todo estaba arreglado, volvió a llamar al día siguiente, el viernes, y el encargado del almacén le dijo: "Tengo terribles noticias. Anoche, alguien entregó sus palés a otra organización que también necesitaba alimentos. Lo siento mucho".El pastor y otra hermana comenzaron a orar; diez minutos después, llegó un camión de Alimentos de la Costa del Pacífico. El conductor le informó que tenía ciento veinte cajas de comida arregladas en dos palés. ¿Cómo sucedió eso? Las oraciones elevadas el viernes por la mañana fueron respondidas por Dios el jueves por la noche, cuando Alimentos de la Costa del Pacífico cargaron sus camiones. El Señor actuó antes de que ellos “supieran que necesitaban orar”.En Mateo 6:8 Jesús nos aseguró que nuestro Padre celestial sabe lo que cada uno necesita mucho antes de que se lo pidamos. Y el salmista afirma: "Aún no tengo la palabra en la lengua, y tú, Señor, ya la conoces" (Salmo 139:4, DHH). Servimos a un Dios que vive al pendiente de cada cosa que realmente necesitamos. Hoy el Señor ya está trabajando en la oración que tú elevarás mañana. Tu milagro ya viene en camino.* Dick Duerksen, "The Angels From Supply", Adventist World (octubre de 2020), págs. 28, 29.

“Papa, please tell me a story.” That’s Cain, or maybe Abel, asked Adam to tell them a story, a story that will make the past more clear so they can face the future with greater certainty, courage, and hope. It’s a question every Father and Mother has been asked by the “inquiring minds” who sit beside them in the light of a cooling evening. Each month I imagine that you have just invited me to “tell you a story,” a true tale of The Creator’s love that will help you understand the past and so face the future with more certainty, courage, and hope. I breath deeply for a long minute, and then pour my heart out to you through my computer. www.adventistworld.org

Patience doesn’t come easy – even though it is clearly one of the virtues God is expecting us to develop.
Persistence and tenacity are two great words that describe many a Maranatha volunteer.
Compassion demands passionate participation and is a trait that shows up often on Maranatha projects.
Maranatha is building churches and schools to share God's love in Angola.
Trusting God to lead the way can open the door to an amazing adventure.
Listen closely. God is calling you to an adventure with Him.
Hope can sometimes be described by the callouses on the knees of the hopeful.
The Yellowknife project was an important moment in Maranatha's history and the church continues to be a positive influence in the community.
Christianity is about God loving people, and people discovering the joy of being delivered by God.
Maranatha volunteers help the Sierra View Junior Academy to continue to make a difference in their community.
The only thing worth living for is going home.
Many small gifts can make a big difference. Here is another sentence I wanted to add.
Every gift you give, is multiplied by God.
God rejoices over us when we share His love with others.
