Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Al escuchar un mandamiento de la Escritura ¿te encojes de hombros o razonas? ¿Alguna vez le has pasado la responsabilidad a otro o has obedecido para honrar al Padre? El corazón sabio acepta los mandamientos del Padre como bendición y seguridad. El tonto encuentra una salida de la aplicación personal del mandamiento. Debemos de preguntarnos, ¿Cual soy yo?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When you hear a command from Scripture, do you wince? Do you try to rationalize it away? Do you try to transfer the responsibility of obedience to someone else? Or, do you commit to obey that command as part of your worship and efforts to honor the Father? A wise heart accepts the commands of God as a blessing and a safeguard. A fool finds a way to circumvent the personal application of God's commands. Let's ask ourselves honestly, "Am I quick to obey or quick to avoid obedience?" Jesus made this choice crucial in our relationship with him at judgment:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' " (Matthew 7:21-23)
