Estos son dos obst\u00e1culos en nuestro camino que a menudo atormentan nuestro coraz\u00f3n. Abord\u00f3 el n\u00facleo mismo de nuestras preocupaciones terrenales: las necesidades de la vida, como la comida, la bebida y el vestido. Los corazones de los gentiles, aquellos que a\u00fan no han abrazado la religi\u00f3n de Yesh\u00faa, est\u00e1n consumidos por la b\u00fasqueda interminable de estas cosas materiales. <\/p>\n<p>Nuestro Padre Celestial conoce la profundidad de nuestras necesidades y nos recuerda, a trav\u00e9s de Su Amado Hijo, que nuestras vidas no necesitan ser consumidas por la b\u00fasqueda incesante de estas necesidades terrenales. Las cosas materiales en nuestras vidas son solo temporales y fugaces. Si bien necesitamos comida y refugio, necesitamos absolutamente el Esp\u00edritu de Alaha y las ense\u00f1anzas de Yesh\u00faa. Por lo tanto, nuestra mayor preocupaci\u00f3n debe ser el Reino de Alaha y Su justicia.<\/p>\n<p>Se nos ense\u00f1a a priorizar Su Voluntad sobre la nuestra. Las palabras de nuestro Se\u00f1or nos aseguran que todas nuestras necesidades terrenales ser\u00e1n provistas para nosotros. Nuestro Padre celestial est\u00e1 siempre alerta y siempre atento. Cuando ponemos Su Voluntad en primer lugar en nuestras vidas, podemos acercarnos m\u00e1s a \u00c9l y a Su Hijo.<\/p>\n<p>Al buscar primero Su Reino y Su justicia, encontramos el b\u00e1lsamo necesario para nuestras ansiedades que nos asaltan, que luego se convierte en un santuario en medio de las tormentas de la vida. Si el Reino es nuestra prioridad, podremos ver las dificultades que sobrevienen al mundo bajo una luz diferente.<\/p>\n<p>Que el Eterno os bendiga y os mantenga.<\/p>\n<p>CbY<br \/>\n2 de Enero de 2024<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>English:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Shalom brethren!<\/p>\n<p>\u00abDo not be anxious, saying, \u2018What will we eat?\u2019, \u2018What will we drink?\u2019 or, \u2018With what will we be clothed?\u2019 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don\u2019t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day\u2019s own evil is sufficient.\u00bb (Matthew 6:31-34)<\/p>\n<p>The year 2024 will be one of most difficult years for many people in the world. The evil one has laid out the plans to ensnare more lukewarm and nominal Christians as well as unbelievers. Financial distress and diseases will increase, as well as natural disasters throughout the year. This is a time for the Remnant to strengthen the grip on their shields and remain faithful in the Word of the Father.<\/p>\n<p>Our Master Yeshua has instructed us to cast away our burdens and anxiety.  These are two obstacles on our path that often plague our hearts. He addressed the very core of our earthly concerns &#8211; the necessities of life, such as food, drink, and clothing. The hearts of the Gentiles, those who have not yet embraced the religion of Yeshua, are consumed by the never ending pursuit of these material things. Our Heavenly Father knows the depths of our needs and reminds us through His Beloved Son, that our lives need not be consumed by the relentless pursuit of these earthly necessities. The material things in our lives are only temporary and fleeting. While we require food and shelter, we absolutely need the spirit of God and the teachings of Yeshua. Thus, our higher concern should be the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.<\/p>\n<p>We are taught to prioritise His Will over that of our own. We are assured by the words of our Lord that all of our earthly needs shall be provided unto us. Our Father in heaven is ever watchful, ever caring. When we put His Will first in our lives, we are able to draw closer to Him and His Son. <\/p>\n<p>In seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness, we find the necessary balm for our anxieties that assail us, which then becomes a sanctuary in the midst of the storms of life. If the Kingdom is our priority, we will be able to see the difficulties that come upon the world in a different light. <\/p>\n<p>May the Eternal One bless you and keep you.<\/p>\n<p>CbY<br \/>\n2 January 2024<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a1Shalom hermanos y hermanas! \u201cNo os afan\u00e9is, pues, diciendo: \u00bfQu\u00e9 comeremos, o qu\u00e9 beberemos, o qu\u00e9 vestiremos?
