Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
A veces anhelo la columna de fuego en la noche y la nube durante día para guiarme mientras voy por este mundo como lo tuvieron los Israelitas durante su viaje por el desierto. Sin embargo, Dios me recuerda que está presente conmigo con su Espíritu y su promesa de nunca jamás abandonarme. Creo que si busco su gloria, el me guiará para cumplir su voluntad, bendiciéndome en las maneras que más me convienen en esta vida y la próxima.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Don't you sometimes long for the pillar of fire at night and the cloud by day to guide us as we make our way through life? God gave these blessings to the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings (Exodus 13:21-22; Nehemiah 9:19-21). They never had to doubt God's presence was with them and his care was over them. Then I remember God's promised and abiding presence with us as followers of Jesus. This abiding presence is the Holy Spirit (John 7:37-39; Romans 8:14). The Spirit's presence is coupled with the promise that God will never leave or forsake us (Romans 8:38-39; Hebrews 13:5-6). As we seek God's presence and honor his character, he will get us where we need to be to do his will. We can be assured that he will work in our lives what is most beneficial for us in this life and the next (Romans 8:28). Yes, the Lord is our God and Redeemer, and he directs us in the way we should go!
Mi oración
Oh Dios Celestial, guíeme a donde quieras que cumplir tus ministerios, donde quieras que sirva y a la gente que quieres que ayude. Tome control de mi corazón para hacer tu obra y nunca dejes que pierda de vista tu gloria venidera. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
O heavenly Father, please guide each of us to the places you want us to be, to the ministries in which you want us to serve, and to the people you most want us to touch and influence. Please, dear Father, capture each of our hearts to do your work and help us never lose sight of your abiding presence now, and the future we have with Jesus when he comes in glory.* In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
* Colossians 3:2-3 & 1 John 3:1-2.
