Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Ayer Santiago nos recordó de la importancia de nuestro hablar. Hoy nos habla de nuestro caminar. La religión de verdad no consiste solamente de palabras. Tenemos que vivir y amar como Cristo. Cuidar a las viudas, huérfanos y los olvidados y mantener nuestra santidad es la definición de la vida cristiana.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Yesterday James reminded us how important our "talk" is. Today he reminds us about the importance of our "walk": we are called to talk and walk honorably before God! True religion is not all talk. We must live and love as Jesus Christ did. God has always called his people to care for the widow and the fatherless, and he challenges us to offer genuine help to others who are forgotten, overlooked, and find themselves as outsiders (Deuteronomy 15:1-18). As Jesus' followers, we must care for others while keeping ourselves holy to God. James, the half-brother of Jesus, wants us to know that this is what "Christyle-living" is all about!
Mi oración
Dios amoroso, dame ojos para ver a los que necesitan tus bendiciones. Llévame a las personas en nuestra iglesia, en nuestro barrio, en nuestro trabajo o nuestra escuela que se sienten descuidados y olvidados. Ayúdame no solamente a verlos, sino a incluirlos para que puedan conocer el amor que tienes por ellos. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Loving God, give me eyes to see the people that need your blessing. Please lead me to the folks in our church and the people in my neighborhood, work, and school who feel forgotten and overlooked. Help me not only to see them but also include them so they can know your love for them! In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
