Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
A veces es una batalla. A veces es una guerra. Sin el poder del Espíritu, nuestra voluntad eventualmente se agotaría y nuestro final sería muy distante de nuestra meta. Sin embargo, por el poder del Espíritu, podemos sobrellevar a nuestras derrotas y nuestro progreso hacia la meta es segura (2 Corintios 3:17-18).
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Living a life of purity is a daily battle, an ongoing war between our flesh and the Spirit of God working to re-create us to be like Christ. Without the power of the Spirit, our willpower eventually fails. But because of the Spirit's power at work within us, we can overcome our failures in the flesh and progress toward our goal of Christlikeness (Colossians 1:28-29), which the Holy Spirit assures (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). We choose to live by the power of the Holy Spirit as the children of God and those destined to share in his glory because of his grace to us in Jesus and Jesus pouring the Holy Spirit out on us and into us (Titus 3:3-7)!
Mi oración
Perdóname, Padre, por las veces cuando he permitido que mi carne venciera a la llamada de tu Espíritu. Gracias por limpiarme con el fuego divino del Espíritu y por acercarme más a la imagen de mi Salvador. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Forgive me, Father, for the times when I've willingly let my flesh win out over the call of your Spirit. Thank you for cleansing me with the Spirit's holy fire and drawing me onward to be more like my Savior. Today, I intentionally offer you my heart for the Holy Spirit to empower me past sin as the Spirit molds me to be more and more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
