Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Gott will, dass wir seinen Segen suchen. Nicht etwa, damit er unser Leben manipulieren kann, sondern weil er sich danach sehnt, uns zu segnen und uns erkennen zu lassen, dass die Gaben in unserem Leben von ihm kommen. Also, lasst uns seine Gegenwart, seine Gnade und seinen Segen suchen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God wants us to seek his blessings. This is not because he wants to manipulate our lives, but because he longs to bless us and have us know the gifts in our lives come from him. So let's seek his presence, his grace, and his blessing. As we do, let's remember this promise is in a section of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount where he clearly states that a disciple obeys what God, the Scriptures, and Jesus command. In that context, we can be sure we have what we seek, ask, and knock to receive. When we love and live according to his purposes (Romans 8:28), Jesus' promise is our assurance of the Father's blessing and our Savior's delight as we are empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Mein Gebet
Lieber Vater, gewiss brauche ich deinen Segen und deine Führung. Bitte segne mich in jenen Bereichen, die schwer auf meinem Herzen lasten … (teile Gott einige diese Herzensanliegen mit). Darüber hinaus, lieber Vater, brauche ich deine Weisheit auf folgenden Gebieten …. Schließlich, lieber Gott, mögest du mir deine Gegenwart in meinem Leben gerade in dieser Woche unmissverständlich klarmachen. Ich stelle deine Liebe für mich nicht in Frage, brauche aber so sehr die Gewissheit deiner Nähe, um den vor mir liegenden Herausforderungen zu begegnen. In Jesu Namen bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Dear Father, I yearn for your blessing and guidance. I need your presence and blessing in several specific areas of my life that weigh heavily on my heart... (share with God some things that are on your heart). In addition, dear Father, I need your wisdom in the following matters... Finally, dear God, please make your presence in my life very clear to me this week. I don't doubt your love for me, but I sometimes need reassurance of your nearness as I face the challenges that lie before me. Please hear me asking for your nearness, see my search for your way in this world, and open the door to my knocking on your door of grace as I seek your blessing. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
