Pensamento:
Deus terminou Seu trabalho da criação no mundo em 6 dias. Ele o sustém com Sua Palavra poderosa. Ele está trabalhando em nós ainda e continuará a realizar Sua vontade em nós para Sua glória (veja Filipenses 2:12-13), até o dia que em que Cristo voltar para nos levar!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God finished his work of creating our world in six days. The Lord continues to sustain it with his powerful word (Hebrews 1:3). He is still working on us, in us, and through us. He will continue to work his will in us till we fully share in his glory (Philippians 2:12-13) and Christ comes to take us home to be with him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18). And this promise isn't just for us personally, but for us as part of Jesus' people, his church, his bodily presence in the world. As Paul says to the Philippian believers:
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed — not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence — continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose (Philippians 2:12-13).
Oração:
Obrigado, Pai, por estar trabalhando na minha vida. Confesso que às vezes parece que o Senhor está distante. Mas fazendo uma retrospectiva dos momentos cruciais da minha vida, posso ver Suas impressões digitais e Sua graça me guiando para onde estou hoje. Querido Pai, por favor faça a sua presença conhecida até mais poderosamente na minha vida enquanto busco Sua vontade e comprometo a minha vida para viver para a Sua glória. No nome de Jesus meu Senhor eu oro. Amém.
My Prayer...
Thank you, Father, for being at work in my life and in the lives of my brothers and sisters. We confess that at times we neglect our faith, and you seem distant and unreachable to us. However, looking back over the crucial moments of our lives, we can see your fingerprints on us and your grace leading us to where we are today. Dear Father, please make your presence even more powerfully known in our lives as we seek your will and commit to live to your glory. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
