Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
"Santo" es una de esas palabras que generalmente asociamos con la iglesia. Quizás es verdad, pero todavía es un buen concepto. Cualquier niño sabe que no se come hot dogs y papas sobre platos de porcelana. Estos platos se reservan para las ocasiones especiales. Cuando Dios nos llama a ser santos, nos llama a ser la porcelana más fina—algo especial reservado solo para Él y para que seamos tal como Él.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"Holy" is one of those words we generally associate with the "stained glass ghetto" — a word only "church folks" use around church buildings. That may be true, but it's still a great concept. Most kids know that you don't eat hot dogs and potato chips on your grandmother's china. Grandmother's china is reserved for "special company" or "special occasions." Hot dogs are for paper plates. China is for special events and occasions — special moments with special people we want to remember as special. When God is calling us to be holy, he's calling us to be china in a paper-plate world — something special just for him, and as Peter emphasizes, someone special who lives like him.
Mi oración
Santo Señor, Dios Todopoderoso, me acerco a ti sabiendo cuán grande es la distancia entre tu santidad y mi estado. Te agradezco por hacerme santo gracias al sacrificio de Jesús y la llegad de tu Santo Espíritu para vivir en mí. Te pido que aceptes mi vida hoy como un sacrificio a ti. Oro en el nombre de Jesús, el pionero y el que perfecciona a mi fe. Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy Lord, God Almighty, I come before you knowing how great the distance is between your holiness and my commonness. I thank you for making me holy through the sacrifice of Jesus and for sending your Holy Spirit to live inside me, making me a holy temple where you dwell.* Please receive my life today as a holy offering to you. I pray in the name of Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of my faith, who has made me holy by your grace.** Amen.
* 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
* Hebrews 2:10, 12:2; Colossians 1:21-23.
