Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Pablo se sorprendió por la generosidad de la gente de Macedonia a la obra del Señor por dos razones. En primer lugar, eran muy pobres y no tenían mucho para compartir. En segundo lugar, en vez de considerar lo que tenían suyo, se dieron a si mismos a Dios y después a sus siervos quienes les pedían para predicar a otros. Su ejemplo es un gran recuerdo para nosotros en nuestra tarea de compartir con los demás.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul was surprised at the Macedonians' generosity to the Lord's work for two reasons. First, they were very impoverished and didn't have much to share. Second, rather than viewing what they had as their own, they gave themselves to God and then to his servants who were asking for their help in ministering to others. Their example is a great reminder to us of how we need to approach our giving to help others in need.
Mi oración
Oh Padre Justo y Dios Santo, perdóname por ser tan egoísta con lo que me has dado. Quiero dar mi corazón y mi vida enteramente a ti sin guardar nada ante tu voluntad. Pido que me ayudes a saber como utilizar mejor las bendiciones que me has dado. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
O Righteous Father and Holy God, forgive me for being selfish with the funds you have so richly shared with me. I want to give my heart and my life to you fully, not holding back anything from your will, and I ask you to help me know how to best use the blessings you have entrusted to me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
