To reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood. Galatians 1.16

The Omnipotent God has the power of initiative. Since He is perfect in all senses, He is omniscient – knows all things. Those who give Him attention will make the best decision. The contrary is also true, for the fact that a person might not pay attention to what the Creator speaks will make him not have the best option. If anyone gets a top grade for a test without the divine help, he should not celebrate, for if he had heard the Lord, he would have obtained an even higher grade.

Those who obey the Lord make two decisions that make them very happy: they have what is best and things come true. The Most High gives us the formula for us to live well. He promises us that if we want to and listen to what He reveals we will have the best of this land (Is 1.19). With this declaration from the prophet, he who is not blessed will notice that he is lacking the best things because he does not hear the Lord or want His blessings.

This declaration from Galatians 1.16 can end with the emptiness in the hearts of many people. Paul was aware that the Son of God had been revealed in him. Now, if we are also called to be part of the Body of Christ, if we have gone through rebirth and we are not in sin, He will also be revealed in us. Thus, we will be able to live in the highest level. Christ in us is the hope of glory (Cl 1.27).

The Christian will only bring the Savior to the lost through words or works if Christ is being revealed through him. Then, people will notice that there is something special in this person’s life, for this servant of God reacts to bad things in a different way, as a victorious person, without bowing down to the enemy, knowing how to enjoy peace, and using the power of the heavenly Father in all moments. He who has the Son in his life is prepared for all battles.

It is worthless to strive to show yourself as a winner, for he who is, shows it without effort at all moments. The best sermon that we can make is with the way that we live. He who is desperate to achieve the goods he needs, or tries to obtain everything by manipulation, and takes hold of the profit or pleasure that he may have at all times, does not have communion with the Most High.

It is crucial not to take too long to say yes to the Lord. If you do not act quickly, you may be surprised with His choice for another person. God does not persuade anyone to believe in what He declares. Believe: trusting in Him is an obligation for those who have heard His voice. He who hardens his heart to the divine voice will consequently not enter in the Lord’s rest. But why should he stay out if the Lord opens him the door? He who has the right judgment, when the Word is revealed to Him, quickly assumes it.

Blessed are the people that believe in the revelations of the Scriptures (Pv 13.13). Stay alert to this detail, for God only speaks through His Word. Once you hear the Lord, execute the heavenly plan without doubting, complaining, or faltering. Know that all the divine blessings are fulfilled when you believe.

In Christ, with love,
