Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El Señor está cerca y presente. ¿Cómo sé? Se acercó en el pesebre. Camino entre nosotros en su ministerio. Sufrió con nosotros y por nosotros en el Calvario. Sabemos que en los momentos de tragedia o desafío, Él está cerca para salvarnos. ¿Estarán nuestros corazones abiertos a Él? ¿Lo buscaremos? No permitas que los problemas te alejen de Dios o te hagan dudar de su presencia. Deja que se acerque a ti.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Lord is near (Philippians 4:5).
How do we know?
He promised his people this long ago and kept his promise. He drew near to us in the manger with Jesus. He walked among us in ministry as Jesus touched, healed, blessed, raised, mended, and loved. He suffered with us, and for us, in Jesus' Passion. Many of us have experienced his nearness in tragedy, trial, heartbreak, and brokenness as he drew near to us to save us. Others of us have experienced his presence as we sought to share the message of Jesus, as he gave us words through the Holy Spirit and strength and courage to stand up to those who opposed us.
The bigger questions are these:
- Will our hearts be open to him and his presence?
- Will we seek him and ask him to draw near?
- Will we obey him and invite him to live in our daily lives?
We must not let troubles and heartache lead us to pull away from God or doubt his nearness. Let's believe the promise that as we draw near to God, he will draw near to us (James 4:8, 10).
Mi oración
Oh Señor, quédate cerca de mi hoy. Has que sienta tu presencia en mi vida. Padre, pido también que bendigas a los que están luchando por su fe y los que han pasado por desafíos y tragedias. Por favor quédate con ellos y revela tu presencia en sus vidas. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
O Lord, please be near me today. Make your presence known in my life. Father, I also ask that you bless those I know who are struggling with their faith and with broken and disappointed hearts. They feel so alone. Please be active in their lives and make your presence known in tangible ways to sustain them in their times of trial. In Jesus' name, I ask you to fulfill this promise in people who are precious to me. Amen.
