Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Unser Endziel haben wir noch nicht erreicht (cf. Philipperbrief 3) Wir sind im Wartezustand! Jesus, der sein eigenes Leben für unsere Errettung opferte, wird in Herrlichkeit zurückkehren, um uns nach Hause zu führen. Während dieser Wartezeit lasset uns eifrig das Richtige, Gute und Heilige tun.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We haven't arrived at our destination (Philippians 3:12-14). We are a people "in waiting" — saved and redeemed but awaiting the full realization of these at the "glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ"! Jesus, who offered his own life for our redemption, will gloriously return to take us home. During our time of waiting, let's not waste our time. Instead, let's be eager to do what is right, good, and holy, showing that we are God's very own people.
Mein Gebet
Vater, mache mich heilig. Heiliger Geist, mache mich eifrig. Jesus, mache mich herrlich. Das alles mache dir zum Lob und zum Segen derer, die dich besser kennenlernen sollen. Bitte verzeih mir, wo ich mich mit Mittelmäßigkeit zufrieden gegeben habe und bewirke in mir eine heilige Leidenschaft, dir gehören zu wollen. Im Namen Jesu. Amen.
My Prayer...
Father, please continue your work of transformation and sanctification in me. Holy Spirit, make me eager to be transformed to become like my Savior. Jesus, make me eager to do what is good and bless others. Please do these things for your praise and for the blessing of those who need to know you better. I am not seeking my own glory, but yours, dear Father. Please forgive me for the times I have settled for mediocrity and stir me to a holy passion to belong to you and be more like you in the life I live here. In Jesus' name and until he returns, I ask for your help and grace to be more like my Savior. Amen.
