Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...

Le SEIGNEUR est... ...proche ! ...présent! ...tout près! Comment puis-je savoir? Il s'approcha de la crèche. Il marchait parmi nous dans le ministère. Il a souffert avec nous et pour nous au Calvaire. Nous savons que dans la tragédie, l'épreuve, le chagrin et le brisement, il est près de nous pour nous sauver. Alors, nos cœurs lui seront-ils ouverts et chercherons-nous à s'approcher de lui ? Ne laissez pas les problèmes ou le chagrin vous amener à vous éloigner de Dieu ou à douter de sa proximité. Laissez-le s'approcher de vous.

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).

Ma Prière...

SEIGNEUR, s'il te plaît, sois près de moi aujourd'hui. Fais connaître ta présence dans ma vie. Père, je te demande aussi de bénir ceux que je connais qui luttent avec leur foi, et avec des cœurs brisés et déçus. Sois actif dans leur vie et fais connaître ta présence dans leur vie. Au nom de Jesus. Amen.

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.
