Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Vivir una vivida basada amor y humildad demuestra quien es verdaderamente sabio. Es demasiado fácil actuar con arrogancia, sin embargo tal comportamiento al Señor no solo demuestra estupidez, sino también ignorancia. La sabiduría no consiste en lucir como sabio, sino en vivir una vida dedicada a Dios. ¿Cuál se parece más a tu andar con Jesús, la sabiduría expresada en la humildad y el amor o la ignorancia expresada en sentimientos de superioridad y arrogancia?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
James promised that if we ask for wisdom in faith, God will grant it to us (James 1:5). This kind of wisdom, God-granted wisdom, reveals itself through a loving, humble lifestyle. In worldly cultures, someone who is smart can easily justify acting arrogantly. In the Lord's eyes, however, smart but arrogant people are worse than those who are silly and foolish. The pridefully intelligent people of our world are woefully ignorant if they are arrogant. True godly wisdom is not about flaunting knowledge, but about living a "good life" characterized by good deeds done with humility. Which more closely resembles you in your walk with Jesus: Wisdom expressed through good deeds and a humble lifestyle, or an arrogant intelligence expressed in deeds and words of superiority and arrogance?
Mi oración
Pastor amado, sé que has sido siempre un Padre sabio y amado. Ayúdeme a compartir el cuidado que has derramado sobre mí con la persona que más lo necesita hoy. Protégeme de la arrogancia y sentimientos de superioridad. Crea en mí la humildad que me hace una herramienta útil en tus manos. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Loving Shepherd, I know you have always been a wise and loving Father to me. Help me share the care you have lavished on me with the person who needs it most, in my circle of influence, today. Please give me the wisdom to recognize each opportunity and respond with deeds and words shared with them in humility. Please protect me from arrogance and feelings of superiority and privilege. Please humble me gently in the ways that forge me into a more useful tool in your hands. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
