Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Bien sabemos que la justicia y santidad verdaderas son calidades poseidas en perfección solo por Dios. Increiblemente, Dios utiliza a su Espíritu para hace posible que lleguen a ser una realidad en nuestras vidas cuando nos entregamos a su liderazgo. Ayer, hablabamos de comprometernos a permitir que el Espíritu obrara en nuestras debilidades para madurarnos. Hoy, porque no tomamos unos minutos, abriendo la palabra de Dios, leyendo pasajes de la Escritura que hablan a nuestras debilidades, seguiendo por pedir al Espíritu para que nos transforme en estas areas para que seamos más como Cristo.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We have chosen our verses for this year to reflect the date. Today is May 23, so we found a passage that was from chapter 5 and verse 23, or 5:23. This way of choosing our "Verse of the Day" challenges us and blesses us to find verses we might otherwise overlook. "Today's Verse" is a blessing from the apostle Paul that we do not want to overlook!
We know that true righteousness and holiness are perfectly possessed by only God. Amazingly, God uses his Spirit to make those qualities a growing reality in our lives when we yield to his leadership. Yesterday, we committed to let the Spirit work on maturing us in our weakest areas. Let's take an extra five or ten minutes sometime today, open God's Word, and read several passages of Scripture that apply to the character qualities we want to acquire — 2 Peter 1:2-11 is an excellent passage to help us. Let's ask God's Spirit to grow us in these areas to be more like Christ!
Mi oración
¡Amado Padre, que Jesús venga pronto con gracia y gloria! Que me encuentro sin mancha en aquel día, Padre mío, no por mi poder y esfuerzo sino por tu poder transformador que obra en mí. En el nombre de Jesús lo pido, Amen.
My Prayer...
Dear Father, may Jesus come soon with grace and glory! May I be found blameless on that day, beloved Father, not by my power and effort but because of your transforming power at work within me. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
