Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Ja, es gibt gewisse Dinge, die wir an unserer Regierung nicht mögen. Aber Gott hat die meisten von uns wahrhaftig gesegnet und wir können den Schutz der Autorität, unter der wir leben, genießen. Auch wenn wir in einer Zeit leben, in der zum Teil die größten Verfolgungen des christlichen Zeitalters stattfinden. Während wir für unsere Führung beten und Gott für unsere Freiheit danken, sollten wir die weltweit verfolgte Kirche nicht vergessen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Yes, many of us don't like things about our governments, no matter where we may live. However, God has truly blessed many of us so that we can enjoy the protection of the authorities where we live. Paul is reminding believers to honor our governments and the laws under which we live. That said, like the first disciples, we also live in the time of some of the worst persecution ever known in the Christian era. Brothers and sisters in many parts of the world face opposition, persecution, and prejudice. In those cases, believers must honor God before their national and local laws. So, as we pray for our leaders and thank God for our freedoms, let's not forget the persecuted church all over the world. Let's pray for their deliverance, protection, and perseverance.
Mein Gebet
Oh großer Erlöser, Gott des Auszuges aus Ägypten, so wie du deine Macht und Errettung in der Vergangenheit gezeigt hast, bitten wir dich heute, dass du alle Gläubigen segnest, die wegen deines Namens verfolgt werden. Bitte segne sie mit Zärtlichkeit, Heilung und Geborgenheit. Im mächtigen Namen Jesu, bitten wir. Amen.
My Prayer...
O great Deliverer, God of the Exodus, we thank you for your intervention and protection of your people throughout history and today. We thank you for those of us whose Christian freedoms our governments and laws protect. We believe you have shown your power and deliverance to your people in the past, when the laws they lived under did not coincide with your will. So we ask for wisdom on how we should live, and we also ask that you intervene today and bless every believer persecuted for their faith in Jesus. Please bless these oppressed children with tenderness, healing, and love. Please tangibly assure them of your presence. In the powerful name of Jesus, we join together and ask this for believers all over the world. Amen.
