Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El miedo come nuestro poder y nos deja con un sentimiento de impotencia. Aun así pocos de nosotros hemos experimentado una derrota tan completa y amarga como la que encaro el pueblo de Dios cuando Isaías compartió con ellos este mensaje de esperanza. La salvación de Israel hasta los tiempos de Jesús, la resurrección de Jesús cuando todo parecía perdido, el triunfo de la iglesia tras todos los siglos de persecución, son todos recuerdos que demuestran que los brazos del Dios todopoderoso y amoroso siempre nos están apoyando y nos llevaran a compartir en su victoria eterna.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Fear saps our willpower and leaves us feeling depleted and hopeless. Feeling depressed, discouraged, and dismayed saps our emotional resources and takes the passion out of our spiritual service. Yet very few of us have ever experienced a defeat so complete and bitter as the one God's people faced when Isaiah shared this message of hope. The preservation of Israel through their horrors of defeat, humiliation, and loss from the exiles until the time of Jesus is a centuries-long reminder of God's miraculous and faithful fulfillment of his promises. When all appeared lost, the ongoing survival and triumph of Jesus' disciples through centuries of persecution and opposition powerfully remind us that underneath us are the everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27) of a mighty and loving God who will ultimately bring us to share in his eternal victory by the power of his "righteous right hand".
Mi oración
Padre todopoderoso y eterno, es un dulce consuelo saber que siempre estas cerca. Gracias por estar conmigo, asegurando mi victoria. En el nombre de Jesús, Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty and Eternal Father, we find such sweet comfort in knowing that you are always there to be with us, to sustain us, and to uphold us in your loving arms of strength and mercy. Thank you for always being present in our lives and in our world, guaranteeing our victory!* In Jesus' name, we believe and trust in you. Amen.
*Romans 8:32-39 is a great reminder of these truths!
