Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
La muerte es la última profanidad en el mundo actual. No nos gusta pensar en ella y menos hablar de ella. Sin embargo, la muerte es la única realidad que no nos dejará quietos. Perdemos familiares y amigos con ella. En un momento, también nosotros mismos enfrentaremos lo inevitable si es que Jesús no vuelve antes. ¿Tenemos, entonces, alguna seguridad en la cara de lo inescapable? ¡Nuestro Pastor! Él nos acompañará, guiando, protegiendo y consolándonos en nuestro viaje. Como cristianos, esta promesa se hace aún más fuerte porque sabemos que nuestro Buen Pastor ya ha hecho este camino para asegurar que nuestro andar por la muerte no termine en la muerte, sino en la gloria.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Death is the ultimate profanity in today's world. We don't like to think about it, much less talk about it. However, death is the one reality that will not leave us alone. We must all address it! We lose friends and family members to death. At one point in our lives, we, too, will face this inevitability unless Jesus comes before our passing. So what is our assurance as we face the inescapable? Our Shepherd! The Lord, who is our Good Shepherd, will walk us through the fears and dangers of death, guiding and protecting and comforting us in our journey. And as followers of Jesus, this promise is only intensified because we know Jesus as our Good Shepherd. He has taken the walk through death's dark valley ahead of us to assure us that our walk through death's valley doesn't end in death, but in glory.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Mi oración
Amado Padre Celestial, mi Pastor y Salvador, gracias porque no tengo que enfrentar a la muerte solo. Busco que me guíes por la oscuridad de la muerte, trayéndome a tu presencia santa y gloriosa en la victoria y gozo. En el nombre de Jesús oro confiadamente, Amén.
My Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father, my Shepherd and Savior, thank you that I do not have to face death alone. I look for your guidance and listen for your voice to lead me through death's dark valley and bring me to your holy and glorious presence in victory and with great joy. I can say this, and believe this, and pray this confidently, in Jesus' name. Amen.
