Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Humíllense. Nos suena como un insulto. Nuestra cultura que nos dice, "Consíguelo a todo costo," esta cultura de autopromoción. La humildad es una característica olvidada. Muchas veces es confundida con la debilidad. La humildad, sin embargo, es en realidad saber nuestro lugar en el mundo sin celebrarlo. Solo Dios puede elevar a uno. La clave, entonces, es saber quiénes somos frente a Él y dejar que Él nos da nuestro lugar.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Humble yourselves. That sounds obscene. At least to the "get ahead at all cost" and "don't look back the competition is gaining on you" culture of self-promotion it sounds obscene. Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing our proper place in the world without flaunting it. Only God can exalt in a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses to honor him.
Mi oración
Abba Padre, Dios altísimo, gracias por permitirme estar en tu presencia. Cuando me pongo a pensar en todo lo que has hecho, el universo increíble que has creado y que sostienes con tu palabra, me asombra tu invitación a acercarme a ti. Gracias por incluirme en tus planes. Ayúdame hoy a vivir con humildad y gracia frente a los demás mientras busco como glorificarte en todos mis asuntos. Por Jesús, oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Abba Father, Most Holy God, thank you for allowing me into your presence. When I think of all that you have done, the incredible universe you have made and hold together by your word, I am amazed you invite me into your presence. I am amazed that you even care about my choice of words. Thank you for knowing me and having a plan for my life. Help me this day to live with humility and grace before others as I seek to glorify you in all things. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
