Mr! Give us today our daily bread. Amen
Community love!
Those of us who walk on Venezuelan soil know that under our feet is the largest oil reserve in the world! So why is the richest country one of the poorest?
Usually because the wealth of a nation is not in the resources it has, but in its rulers, its people, its allies.
Step on black gold (oil) and scream hunger! It is the most paradoxical thing that we can see.
By the way, hunger is one of the most dramatic experiences in a person's life. She produces restlessness, despair and even death. In the time of the prophet Elisha, Samaria was surrounded by the Syrians. Nothing or nobody came from the city. The enemy was camped outside. The people of Samaria were surrounded and trapped within its walls. The bread finished. The town began to go hungry. They had money, but they had nothing to buy. The despair was so great that people began to eat human flesh.
I hope we never get to that atrocity, as Christian I forbid! Christians can not allow demons to take government parliaments and public powers to establish their miseries.
I read that years ago the people of North Korea were so tormented by the hunger their corpses were eating. This news touched my heart!
Some biblical background record that, Bethlehem of Judah was also facing a time of hunger. The land that flowed milk and honey was now ravaged by hunger. That was the time of the judges. A time when the people often deviated from the Lord (Judges 21:25). This time can be summarized as follows:
Prosperity and blessing, apostasy and punishment, repentance and blessing. The drought, the invasion of the enemy, the hunger was a sign of God's punishment on the rebellious people.
In Bethel there was also a time of economic crisis and hunger was the slogan of that town, so that many people emigrated in search of a better future!
Venezuela lives something similar! Mega-inflation absorbs a worker's average salary a thousand times! There is hunger! The people scream! How is it that there is no bread left over with oil?
Maybe the story of Bethlehem of Israel is repeated:
Bethlehem means "the House of Bread." But there was a day that there was no bread in the House of Bread. There was a day when the ovens in Bethlehem were cold and the shelves were empty. Then there was hunger in Bethlehem, but there was no bread. People were looking for bread, but they could not find bread.
It happened in the days that the judges ruled, that there was famine in the land. And a man from Bethlehem of Judah went to live in the fields of Moab, he and his wife, and two sons of his.
Ruth 1: 1
This Family emigrated in search of a better future and only got misfortunes, all the men died and only the women remained.
The biggest Emigration in Venezuelan history is happening right now! 1/4 of the population has left in search of Pan y Abrigo. It is my prayer to God that you have better luck than the Biblical Family that I just mentioned.
It is my prayer to God that one day you will hear the news that he arrived late to the family of Ruth: "Pan came to the house of bread"
Then he rose up with his daughters-in-law, and returned from the fields of Moab; because he heard in the field of Moab that Jehovah had visited his people to give them bread.
Ruth 1: 6
God visits his people! God visit Venezuela and have mercy on us! Freedom for Venezuela!
Mr! Give us this day our daily bread. Amen

'It happened in the days that the judges ruled.' It always does Brother, it always does.
Like a mentor once described to this Knight, when it came to corporate productivity... 'Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians - the recipe for failure'

If SK, It's a very true phrase, they just want to be bosses and govern at their whim and convenience!
One of many important truths you mentioned in your publication dear brother, we are rich and at the same time poor! It is unfortunately so much corruption!
Unfortunately, Sister, trust in God to return the bread, as the biblical example quoted.
Beautiful message dear Brother @emiliiocabrera! In due time, God will visit this earth and everything will be normal again!
Amen dear Lorennys
Brother saves this topic and meditated on several occasions and believe that you have hit the nail on the head with this message, I say that if this government is not embarrassed to say and boast that our country has the largest reserve in the world that the we have wonderful natural resources and its inhabitants passing nesecidad is sad to know that all those resources are in the hands of blind people of power who do not see beyond their noses on the other hand we have our own people (merchants) blinded by avarcia manipulating prices of shamelessly this reality is sad but Paul wrote it well because the root of all evil is the love of money
I hear you Josevina. They will have to give an account to the Just Judge who Judges with Justice brother! Thanks for the good comment
Many of my relatives have emigrated to other Nations! but God will take care of them and guide their steps!
Amen
I confess that I wanted to run out of the Nation, I think of my family, my daughters! I pray to God to end this nightmare
Faith and optimism sister
