Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Der Heiliger Geist befähigt uns nicht nur jetzt, sondern ist unser Garant (2 Kor.1,22; 5,5) und unsere Zuversicht, dass wir Gott von Angesicht zu Angesicht sehen (1 Joh.3,1-2) und an seiner Herrlichkeit teilhaben werden (Kol.3,1-4). Er lebt in uns und verheißt uns Leben, das nie enden wird.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Holy Spirit doesn't just empower us now (Ephesians 3:14-21) — for sure, he does provide us power and strength, insight and guidance — but the Holy Spirit's work is not just powerful now, giving life to our "mortal bodies". The Spirit is also our guarantee for our future (2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5) and our assurance that we will see God face to face (1 John 3:1-2) and share in his glory (Colossians 3:1-4). The Spirit is alive in us "as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies," and promises us life that never will end in the presence of the Father, and with the Son, because of the Holy Spirit.
Mein Gebet
O Gott und Vater aller Nationen und Völker, danke für deine Garantie, dass du durch den Heiligen Geist in meinem Leben wirken wirst. Danke dafür, dass du mich durch die Kraft des Geistes erhöhen wirst, um in deiner Gegenwart zu weilen. In Jesu Namen bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
O God and Father of all nations and races, thank you for your Spirit who is my guarantee that you will raise me from the dead and empowers me right now. As I look forward to that great day, I know I will join Jesus in your presence forever. So, dear Father, I praise you in Jesus' name, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, I thank you as I anticipate that great day and live for you today. Amen.
