Pensamento:
As ações de Deus não são reações às situações atuais, e sim parte do seu plano a longo prazo de nos redimir. Sim, ele tem feito coisas maravilhosas: Ele tornou o clamor de "Crucifique-O" numa oportunidade de cumprir as profecias e nos redimir. Ele é perfeito em fidelidade e tem feito coisas maravilhosas.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God's actions are not reactions to current situations, but part of his long-term plan to bring redemption. Yes, he has done marvelous things, both in history and also in our personal histories. God transformed the vile intentions of a mob urged on by evil men and made it into the atoning sacrifice for our sins to display his love, mercy, and grace (Acts 2:22-24; 1 John 2:1-2). He changed the hearts of people who cried "Crucify him!" into people who believed in Jesus, repented of their evil, and were baptized, in faith, at Pentecost (Acts 2:36-41). He turned the ugliness of the cross into an opportunity to fulfill the prophets and redeem us through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. We join Isaiah to say in reverent admiration: "O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."
Oração:
Santo Deus, o Senhor me surpreende com novas maravilhas e novas coisas diariamente. No fundo do meu coração sei que não são novas para o Senhor. Obrigado por não deixar a vida tediosa ou previzível para que eu tenha sede de Ti, o Senhor que é sempre novo, empolgante e maravilhoso. No nome do meu Salvador, Jesus, eu oro. Amém.
My Prayer...
Holy God, you surprise me with new wonders and new things daily. Yet deep in my heart, dear Father, I know they are not new to you. Thank you for not making life boring or predictable, so I might thirst after you, the only true and living God, forever fresh, new, exciting, and marvelous. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
