Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios es fiel y su convenio es un convenio de amor. Nunca nos abandonará y siempre nos tratará mejor de lo que merecemos, como un padre trata a un niño rebelde. Pero nuestros corazones tienen que ponerse en harmonía para honrar a Dios como Dios y no como un objeto de la suerte o un huésped que viene a visitarnos de vez en cuando. Tenemos que ser sensibles al hecho de que todo lo que hagamos se hace delante de Él y para Él.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God is faithful to his promises and his people. He fulfilled every promise with a great "Amen!" in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:18-20). His covenant is far more than a set of agreements between a god and his people. God's covenant with us is a covenant of love. He will not forsake us or abandon us (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:32-39). He will treat us better than we deserve, just as a loving parent treats a rebellious child better than she or he deserves. We must tune our hearts to beat in honor of God as our God. We must not treat him as a good luck charm, a bellhop to bring us our every wish, or our weekly guest we occasionally invite to visit in the margins of our otherwise busy lives. What we do must be done with an awareness and intention that what we have done has been done before him, to honor him! As we do these things, God is faithful. He will uphold his covenant to love us, forgive us, restore us, and empower us until he brings us home to be with him.
Mi oración
Dios Fiel, gracias por amarme con sacrificio y fidelidad. Gracias por la manera en la cual siempre guardaste tu promesa a los Israelitas. Gracias por mandar a Jesús tal como prometiste. Confío en tu promesa de mandarlo de vuelta para llevarme a estar en tu casa. Hoy te pido que recibas mis palabras y hechos como agradecimiento por tu convenio de amor conmigo y los míos. En el nombre de Jesús, tu regalo de amor, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Faithful God, thank you for loving me so sacrificially and steadfastly. Thank you for keeping your promises to the Israelites and for bringing Jesus just as you promised. I trust your promise to send him back to bring me home to you. Until then, please receive the deeds and words of this day as my thanks to you for your covenant of love with me and those who love Jesus. In the name of Jesus, your gift of love, I pray. Amen.
