Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Denn ihr alle seid einer in Christus Jesus“ teilte Paulus den Galatern mit (Gal. 3,26-29). Satan jedoch versucht beständig, das Volk Gottes zu teilen. Eines seiner effektivsten Mittel der Trennung, ist die Spaltung von Männern und Frauen – ob in Familien oder in der Gemeinde. Paulus erinnert uns daran, dass wir, wenn Jesus unser Herr ist, erkennen, wie nötig wir einander haben und dass wir bestrebt sein sollen, einander als wertvoll zu achten. Satan will uns wegen unserer Unterschiedlichkeit spalten, doch wir entscheiden uns dafür, einig zu sein in unserem Heiland!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"We are all one in Christ Jesus!" Paul told the Galatians (Galatians 3:26-29). Satan, however, constantly tries to divide God's people. One of his most effective means of division has been to divide men and women — whether in families or churches. Paul reminds us that if Jesus is our Lord, we recognize we need each other as men and women. We are committed to valuing each other. Rather than letting Satan divide us through our differences, we choose to unite around our Savior, who values both men and women, and used them in his ministry!
Mein Gebet
Heiliger Gott, in dessen Bild ich gemacht bin, schenk mir bitte den Mut, andere Menschen zu achten und wertzuschätzen, genau so, wie du mich wertschätzt. In Jesu Namen bete ich. Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy God, in whose image I am made, please give me the courage to value and esteem all others as you value me. I recognize that each person I meet is made in your image, too. So, please help me, dear Father. I do not want racial, social, or gender differences to interfere with the value I place on anyone you bring into my life. Give me the eyes, heart, and words of Jesus to bless and value others as my Savior did. In his name, Jesus, my Savior, I pray. Amen.
