Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Aunque es ingenuo, por un lado, pensar que confiar en Dios hace que nuestros problemas desaparezcan (Los cristianos tenemos tantos problemas como los no creyentes, pues todos somos de carne y hueso) por otro lado, es verdad. Si confiamos en Dios, creemos que si caemos o triunfamos depende de Él y que al final compartiremos su victoria junto a Él. Significa que nuestras vidas no serán vividas en vano. Eso no es solo confianza, es la base de toda paz: Plenitud y conocimiento profundo de que la vida merece ser vivida y no debemos estar ansiosos por saber los resultados.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It is naive, on one hand, to think that trusting in God makes all of our problems go away. Christians have many of the same problems that unbelievers do because they share the same mortal flesh and live in the same broken world (Romans 8:18-21). Some of our brothers and sisters are suffering hardship and persecution because of their faith. However, there is also a sense that trusting in God does make our problems go away — or at least helps us put those problems into perspective. Because we trust in God, our work stands or falls in his hands. Either way, we know that we will share in his victorious and glorious presence forever (Colossians 3:1-2). Our lives are not lived in vain. That's not just confidence; it's the foundation of true peace. We can live our lives to their fullest, knowing that every moment matters. We don't need to be anxious about the results when we rest our lives in the hands of our living and victorious Lord, in whom we trust!
Mi oración
Padre todopoderoso, gracias por darme la seguridad de que mi vida no será vivida en vano. Que comparta esa paz con otras personas. En el nombre de Jesús, mi príncipe de paz, oro. Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty Father of peace, thank you for the assurance that my life will not be lived in vain and will end victoriously in your presence with the return of Jesus.* May I share this sense of peace with others. In the name of Jesus, my Prince of Peace, I pray with confidence and assurance. Amen.
* 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 5:9-11.
