Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Durch die ganze Bibel hindurch werden wir daran erinnert, dass Gott für uns sorgt, wenn wir ihm vertrauen und seine Segnungen mit anderen teilen. Wie können wir da sicher sein? Schauen wir uns Jesus an!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Throughout Scripture, God reminds us that as we trust him and share his blessings with others, he will ensure we have all we need and have even more so that we can help others. Notice what Paul told the Corinthians:
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 9:10-11).
How can we be sure? Look at Jesus — his ministry, his life, and his provision.
Mein Gebet
Lieber Vater, bitte verzeih mir, dass ich versucht habe, meine Sicherheit und Hoffnung in Dingen außerhalb von dir zu finden. Mir ist bewusst, dass es außer dir keine andere Quelle der Hoffnung, Freiheit und Sicherheit gibt. Hilf mir, alle von mir errichteten falschen Götter niederzureißen, die mein Vertrauen zu dir schwächen oder verzerren. In Jesu Namen bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Dear Father, please forgive me for trying to find my security and hope in things other than you. I know there is no other source of hope, freedom, and security than you. Help me tear down every idol I may have erected that dilutes or distorts my trust in you. Open my heart to recognize places and times where I trust more in my efforts and resources rather than fully trusting in you and your graciousness. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
