Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Los afanes abundan, sobre todo al fin de mes. Jesús nos recuerda que la vida consiste más que en comida o ropa. La pregunta es si podemos vivir como si fuera así. Nos dejamos engañar, como Esaú quien vendió su primogénito por un plato de sopa. No vendamos lo más precioso por lo atractivo que no tiene valor eterno.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Worries are many, and they all seem to trouble our hearts around bill time or tax time, don't they? Jesus reminded us that life is more than food, clothes, or money. The real question is whether we can live like life is more than food, clothes, and money! We are easily deceived, like Esau, who sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Let's not sell out what is precious to us for the allure of what will most likely end in difficulty and entanglements. So much of what the world pursues — and the devil tempts us to pursue — doesn't have eternal value.
Mi oración
Padre generoso, expulsa el miedo y el egoísmo de mi corazón. Sé que me has dado el regalo más increíble de todos los tiempos. Ayúdame buscarte y tu voluntad y no las cosas que ahogan tu presencia en mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Generous Father, banish fear and selfishness from my heart. I know you have already provided the most incredible gift of all time, Jesus. Please help me pursue you and your will, not the things that choke your presence out of my life and distract me from what is eternal. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
