Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Gottes Plan für unsere Errettung ist unfassbar. Seine Entwürfe für die Erschaffung unseres Universums übersteigen unser Vorstellungsvermögen. Er ist überaus reich an Weisheit und Erkenntnis. Was könnten wir sonst anderes tun, als sich ihm zu nähern und ihn zu bitten, unsere Sinne für sein Wirken und seinen Willen in unserem Leben zu öffnen?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God's plan to save us is incredible. His blueprints for the creation of our universe are beyond our imagining. He is so rich in wisdom and knowledge that we cannot even imagine his greatness. What else can we do but go to him and ask him to open our minds to his work, will, and presence in our lives? God is far greater than our minds can comprehend. His judgments are not fully comprehensible to us, and ways beyond us, but we do know this:
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (Romans 8:31-32)
"Oh, the depth and riches of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!" And on top of his greatness, he loves us and has great plans for us. Oh, yes; God is gracious and good.
Mein Gebet
Kostbarer und allmächtiger Vater, ich danke dir dafür, dass du mir in jedem Frühjahr wieder das Bewusstsein für die Macht deiner erhaltenden Gegenwart in der Welt — und mehr noch — für mein Leben weckst. Segne mich heute in meinem Bestreben, dich bei allem was ich tue, an die erste Stelle zu setzen. Im Namen Jesu bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Precious and Almighty Father, thank you for reawakening me each spring to the power of your sustaining presence in the world and in my life. I see the beauty of creation reemerge, and it reminds me of your goodness, creativity, colorfulness, and grace. As I seek to put you first in all I do, please use me to bring you glory, and please, bless others through my thoughts, words, and deeds. In Jesus name, I thank you and praise you. Amen.
