Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El verdadero problema en nuestras vidas no es la fidelidad de Dios, sino la nuestra. La historia de la fidelidad de Dios a Israel y sus promesas se encuentran en las Escrituras. Podemos depender y confiar en Él para cumplir lo que promete a pesar de la apariencias en nuestras vidas. El asunto relevante es si elegimos amar y vivir para el y sus propósitos cuando los asuntos de la vida se ponen difíciles. Este versículo no es teoría, sino esperanza para los que con fe valiente eligen perseverar cuando no es fácil. La fe verdadera esta arraigada en un Salvador quien triunfó sobre la muerte, Satanás y el pecado el tercer día mientras tenemos que vivir el segundo día esperando el alba de nuestra salvación plena.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The real issue in our lives is not God's faithfulness and goodness but ours. The history of God's faithfulness to Israel and his promises is found throughout the Scriptures. We can depend and rely on him to do what he promises despite the apparent circumstances of our lives. The real issue is whether or not we choose to truly love him and live for his purposes when our lives become unbearable and faith becomes hard. This verse is no platitude or easy answer. It is the life ring of hope for those with gritty faith who choose to persevere when there is no easy reason for doing so. Faith like this is rooted in a Savior who triumphed over death, Satan, sin, and hell by voluntarily giving his life for our salvation. But he remained in the grave a second day. There appeared to be no hope, but hope burst forth as Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. So, will we choose to keep loving God and living for his purposes when things are hard — when we are caught on our own "second day" while waiting for the dawn of the third day and our complete salvation?
