Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Erlösung kommt vom HERRN, dem Gott Abrahams, Isaaks und Jakobs — unserem Vater. Darum bitten wir ihn, uns mit seinen besten und größten Segnungen zu segnen. Den allergrößten Segen hat er seinem Volk aber bereits gegeben — das Geschenk seines Sohnes. Jetzt geht es darum, dass wir diesen Segen anerkennen und schätzen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Deliverance does come from the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our spiritual fathers from previous generations. We can trust in this deliverance because of God's faithfulness to his people under the Old Covenant (the Old Testament). We see God's deliverance as the Father sends his Son, Jesus, as our Savior. We experience this deliverance in the outpouring of the Spirit by the resurrected Savior. So, as this verse suggests, we can confidently ask the Lord to bless us with his richest and greatest blessings as his people because we know that he has already given us the greatest gift of his Son. So, we believe with the apostle, Paul, that since God has done this to save us, "how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:31-32)
Mein Gebet
Ich danke dir, oh Gott, dass du mir das Heil in Jesus geschenkt hast. Benutze mich, um diesen Segen an andere Menschen, die ich kenne und liebe, weiterzugeben, damit sie deinen Sohn als ihren Heiland und Herrn kennenlernen. Im Namen Jesu bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Thank you, O God, for the salvation you have given to us in Jesus. Use us, your people, to spread this blessing to others so that all nations — all peoples — will know your love and come to know your deliverance found in your Son, our Savior and Lord. In the name of our Deliverer, we pray. Amen.
