Размышление над стихом дня
«Я должен себя найти». Этого не произойдет. Мы не «найдем себя» или «свою жизнь» в погоне за жизнью. Мы найдем жизнь, теряя ее в чем-то или ком-то более великом, чем мы сами. Мы находим нашу жизнь, теряя ее в Иисусе и труде ради Его Царства.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"I've just got to get away and find myself."
If that is our goal, we must know it won't ever happen. We do not "find ourselves" or "find our life" by pursuing it (Matthew 10:39). We find life, true and lasting life, by losing it for something and someone greater than ourselves. We find our lives by losing them to Jesus, to the work of his Kingdom, and to the grace of blessing others and bringing them to Jesus (Matthew 16:25).
Моя молитва
Господь и Творец всего живого и дышащего, возьми мою жизнь, каждый мой вздох, и используй его для Твоей славы. Пусть мои слова и поступки сегодня будут благоугодны Тебе. Я возношу эту молитву и хвалу через Иисуса. Аминь.
My Prayer...
Master and Maker of all that lives and breathes, take my life and make it yours. Use my every breath for your glory. Holy Spirit, I trust your transforming work to make me more like Jesus, more JESUShaped. Lord Jesus, I pray that my words and actions are pleasing to you and consistent with the way you lived while on earth. In the words of your servant, David, I pray:
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
Through the mighty intercession and authority of Jesus, we offer you this prayer and our praise, O God. Amen.
