Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios odia la injusticia, brutalidad y abuso. En un mundo donde los que codician, matan, roban y violan parecen vencer con su comportamiento vergonzoso, Dios es la última seguridad de que eventualmente se hará justicia y los malignos no se saldrán con la suya. Mientras los que aman y sirven a Jesús esperan su regreso con gozo, los que hacen el mal llegarán a saber lo temerosos que es caer en las manos de Dios.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God hates injustice, unfairness, brutality, and abuse. In a world where the greedy, the murdering, the thieving, the raping, the mugging, the abusive, and the bullies often get away with their shameless and despicable behavior, God is the ultimate assurance that justice will be done. The wicked will not triumph. The evil will have to give account to the one who will judge them (Acts 10:42-43; 1 Peter 4:3-5). While those who love and serve Jesus expect his return with anticipation and joy, those who are evil and vile will find out what a dreadful thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God. The hands that wipe away the tears of Jesus' wounded disciples in heaven (Revelation 7:17, 21:4) will also be the hands that avenge those who have perpetrated evil, abuse, intimidation, harm, and desecration on the helpless (Isaiah 58:6-7; Proverbs 6:16-19; Jeremiah 7:6-7).
Mi oración
Dios santo y justo, mi Padre celestial, me da consuelo tanto como me da malestar saber que harás justicia sobre los que con violencia han abusado de los inocentes, débiles, indefensos, humildes y enfermos. Odio ver a cualquier persona condenarse. Más aún, sin embargo, odio ver a los malignos dañar a los que son inocentes. Dame el coraje para defender a los indefensos. Por su gracia y victoria sobre la maldad, oro en el nombre santo de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, my Heavenly Father, I am comforted to know that you will bring justice on those who have violently abused the innocent, weak, helpless, underprivileged, and infirm. I hate to see anyone lost. I hate it even worse when evil people abuse and practice injustice on those who are good, kind, and godly. I hate it when people claim to be good, but their deeds are evil, and they masquerade as victims while they inflict their evil deeds on others. So, please give me the courage to stand between the evil of my world and those on whom it preys. Because of Jesus' grace and victory over sin and death, and because of his passion to protect the marginalized and forgotten, I pray. Amen.
