Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Wem schenkst du in deinem Leben Gehör? Wir können auf viele Stimmen hören, jedoch nur einer folgen. Also auf wessen Stimme hörst du bei deinen Entscheidungen über Moral, Werte, Ethik und Charakter? Wer hat zu Recht verdient, in Bezug auf das Leben, den Tod, das Heil und die Sünde gehört zu werden? Gott hat unzweifelhaft klar gemacht: Wir müssen auf seinen Sohn Jesus hören!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Who are you listening to in your life? We can hear all sorts of different voices and listen to all sorts of religious commentary and insight. However, we can follow only One as the Source of all truth and life. Who are we going to listen to as we make our decisions about morality, values, ethics, and character? Who has earned the right to be heard regarding truth, life, death, sin, and salvation? God makes it unmistakably clear at the Mount of Transfiguration: we must listen to his Son Jesus! Moses was amazing, and Elijah was bold and brave. Peter, James, and John were blown away to see them at Jesus' transfiguration. But God made it clear: we must listen, obey, and follow only one as our source of truth, and God said of him, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"
Mein Gebet
Allmächtiger Gott, hilf mir bitte, die Stimmen des Zweifels, der Verschleierung und der Demagogie um mich herum zum Schweigen zu bringen. Hilf mir, die Stimme Jesu zu hören, ihm nachzufolgen und deinem Willen zu gehorchen – egal was alle andere Menschen um mich zu tun entscheiden. In Jesu Namen bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I need the Holy Spirit's help to silence the voices of dispute, doubt, deception, and demagoguery surrounding me. Help me hear the voice of Jesus above the noise of politicians, influencers, and self-appointed experts of my day. I want to follow Jesus and obey him in all things, no matter what anyone else may choose to do or to whom they entrust their hearts. Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
