Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Cuando somos jóvenes y tenemos tanto por hacer, muchas cosas nos distraen de lo que es importante. Debemos permitir a Dios reunir todas nuestras pasiones bajo su gracia en esos días de entusiasmo y gozo frenético para que podamos ser usados para el bien mayor de Dios. Para muchos de nosotros, la edad trae consigo distintas clases de limitaciones. Esto no significa que la vida tiene que ser mala, sino que simplemente debemos poner nuestras prioridades en orden. Ojalá aprendamos lecciones de fe en nuestra juventud para que tengamos la madurez y la sabiduría necesarias para ser maestros, consejeros, y ejemplos para quienes vienen detrás nuestro.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When we are young, we can have many tasks that need doing. Many fun and exciting things can also distract us from doing what is essential. So, we should ask the Lord to help us manage our passions and responsibilities with grace. We should use the energy and excitement of our youth to live for what God calls good. Aging often brings a crescendo of limitations of one kind or another. They're not fun! This reality doesn't mean life has to be bad, just that we had better put our priorities in order before we become old. Hopefully, we will learn the lessons of faith in our youth so we can have the maturity and wisdom to enjoy life and mentor younger ones as we mature. In this way, we can live as positive examples for those who come down life's path after us.

Santo Dios, pido por la juventud de tu iglesia. Dales pasión y gozo mientras te buscan y siguen a Jesús. Que su fe sea real, vibrante, gozosa, y triunfante. Hazles sentir tu gloria. Sostenlos a través de sus últimos años con una profunda seguridad de tu presencia, victoria, y gracia. En el nombre de Jesús. Amén.
