We all live in a broken world. Ever since Genesis 3 this world is not what God wanted it to be. Bondage to sin and decay are the consequences of sin and death. Out of this broken world, God is calling his people to a new life where the presence of God frees us from the brokenness of this dark world and ushers us into his kingdom of light. The question now is, will we answer his call?

Where is God in the long-journey of ups and downs of prosperity and adversity?

God’s providential presence in the midst of…

I. Prosperity, prepares his people to fulfil his promises Exodus 1:1-7.
a. Promise: the covenant with Abraham cf. Genesis 15:13-14.
b. Provision: fruitful and faithful to bless all mankind cf. Genesis 50:15-26.

II. Adversity, refines his people’s faith to receive his salvation Exodus 1:8-22.
a. Peril: from threat to death and civil disobedience.
b. Protection: God’s hand when we can’t see it v. 17,20.

Prosperity and peril are two sides of the same coin that God providentially allows to
prepare his people for the fulfillment of his plan
Thank God in prosperity and trust God in adversity.

1. Are you experiencing a season of prosperity? How are you using your resources to secure a strong and godly legacy for present and future generations?
2. Are you experiencing a season of adversity? How is God using this adversity to refine your faith and to deliver you from the oppression of this world?

Dios con nosotros en todo tiempo | Salmo 46

February 22, 2026by Dr. Hugo Gallegos

El salmo 46 es un cántico de “esperanza y confianza”. El salmo se divide en tres estrofas. La primera estrofa, es “una invitación a seguir confiando en el Dios de toda esperanza en medio de las crisis de la vida”. En la segunda estrofa, el salmista revela “quien debe ser Dios para nosotros”. Y, por último, “lo que Dios puede hacer por nosotros”. Entonces, este salmo enseña que el Señor en tiempos de dificultades, crisis, temor y desesperanza; Él es amparo, fortaleza, auxilio, refugio, fuente de esperanza, seguridad, y victoria.
