Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Como Dios dio el primer paso y sacrificó lo que le fue más precioso, ahora nos puede pedir que nos entreguemos a Él. Solo hay un problema: el sacrificio sigue bajando del altar. Es preciso que ofrezcamos nuestra voluntad, tiempo, corazones, compromisos a Dios todos los días. Sí no, el altar esta vacío y nuestro sacrificio se ha ido.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Because God went first and sacrificed his most precious gift, Jesus, to save us, he can ask us to surrender ourselves to him. Only one problem: The sorry ol' sacrifice wants to keep crawling off the altar. Let's admit it; talk of sacrifice and being a living sacrifice doesn't sound all that enticing. Except offering ourselves to God is where we find life and find what is most enduring about ourselves. As the famous missionary Jim Elliott profoundly put it: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." We offer ourselves, our will, our time, our heart, our commitment, to God each day because of what he has already done for us, and the greater things he has promised us in the future!
Mi oración
Salvador santo y justo, quiero entregar a mi vida, cuerpo y voluntad a ti. Aun así, confieso que hay asuntos grandes y pequeños que no he puesto en el altar. Cosas que no quiero entregar. Hoy trataré de entregar todo a ti, no dejando nada afuera. Te ofrezco a mí mismo y todo lo que tengo hoy y para siempre. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Savior, I want to surrender my life, my body, and will to you. But I confess, there are little things (and maybe some big things) that I keep from ever placing on that altar. Things I don't want to give up. To the best of my ability, I will live for you today in a way that leaves nothing outside your Lordship and control. I offer you me — all that I have and am — to be yours today, and all the forever I have. In Jesus' name. Amen.
