Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Qué bueno es estar tan cerca a Dios como su sombra y compartir esta presencia protectora. Él no está lejos de nuestros corazones si elegimos acercarnos a Él. ¡Elijamos acercarnos!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We are blessed to be as close to God as his shadow and to share in the comfort of his sheltering presence. He is not far from our hearts as we choose to draw near him. Sounding very much like the beatitudes of Jesus, Isaiah shares God's promise with us:
For this is what the high and exalted One says — he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite" (Isaiah 57;15).
As we follow and obey Jesus, God — Father, Son, and Spirit — not only wants us close to him, but Jesus promises us that he will come to us in all three representations of himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He will reveal himself in us, to us, and make his home in us (John 14:15-18, 20, 23). God wants us as close to him as his shadow!
Mi oración
Oh Dios Todopoderoso, Pastor Tierno y Abba Padre, hazme sentir tu presencia. Anhelo vivir en tu presencia mientras trato de reflejar tu santidad y gracia. Por la sangre de Jesús me acerco a ti en plena seguridad de tu amor y gracia. En el nombre de Jesús, el nombre encima de todo nombre oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
O great Almighty God, my tender Shepherd and Abba Father, please make your nearness known to me as you make your presence real in me. I long to live in your presence as I try to reflect your holiness and grace. By Jesus' blood, I draw near to you in full assurance of your loving presence and accompanying grace. I want to dwell in your presence and live in your shadow as I reflect your gracious compassion and holy character. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
