Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Adorar es más que ofrecer nuestro corazón, alma y pensamientos a Dios. También involucra nuestra postura. Cuando entendemos la gracia que Dios nos ha dado al llamarnos a ser sus hijos ¿qué otra cosa nos es posible fuera de arrodillarnos ante su majestad y poder? Nos acercamos a Él, un Rey, ofreciéndonos en sumisión total. Dios elije, sin embargo, tratarnos como un pastor tierno quien quiere cuidarnos. Tal gracia nos guía a arrodillarnos en adoración total.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Worship is more than our hearts, souls, and words offered to God. It also necessarily involves our physical bodies, our strength, and our posture (Mark 12:29-30). When we understand the grace God has given us to be called his children, what else can we do but bow down or kneel before him in his majesty and loving grace? We come to him, a conquering ruler, offering ourselves in full submission. God chooses, however, to treat us tenderly like a loving shepherd who longs to care for us, and our Abba Father who is full of tender love for us.* Such grace leads us to bow and kneel in heartfelt worship before the Lord, our maker.
* We must not forget the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7) and the lost sons (Luke 15:11-32) as we pray this truth!
Mi oración
Pastor de mi alma, me acerco a ti buscando tu protección y descanso como una de tus ovejas. A menudo me encuentro cansado y sin fuerzas debido a las presiones y tentaciones de la vida. Pero me acerco a ti poniéndome bajo tú cuidado y dedicado a tu gloria. No solo hoy, sino por el resto de mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Shepherd of my soul, my loving Abba Father, I come to you seeking your protection and rest as one of your sheep. I often find myself harried and driven by life's pressures and temptations. I come to you submitting myself to be used for your glory — not just today, but for the remainder of our lives because we want others to find their rest in Jesus. So we kneel, we bow, and we humble ourselves. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
