Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Me encanta como Jesús capta la atención de los discípulos. "Denles de comer" Por supuesto sabía que no podían. Jesús les estaba mostrando que si le traerían sus escasos recursos a Él terminarían logrando cosas increíbles. Cuando la gente terminó de comer sobraba tanta comida que la gente podía recoger una canasta de sobra. Recordemos que no es el desafío o los recursos lo que nos limitan, sino nuestra falta de decisión de llevar todo a Jesús confiando en que el hará algo para bendecir a los demás en maneras que ni hemos soñado (Efesios 3:20-21)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I love the way Jesus got his disciples' attention in this situation. He challenged them "to do immeasurably more than all [they] ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20-21). Basically, Jesus told them, "You feed them, boys!" Of course, they knew that they couldn't! Yet Jesus showed them they could do amazing things if they brought their meager resources to him. When the big picnic was over, each of those limited disciples got to pick up a basket full of leftovers from the table of Jesus' grace (Luke 9:17). Let's remember our challenge is the limited resources we see but our unwillingness to bring what we have to Jesus and trust that he will do something with us, and those resources, to bless others in ways we couldn't have dreamed!
Mi oración
Toda alabanza sea tuya, Abba Padre, por tu ayuda y misericordia sin límites en los momentos de necesidad, por tu provisión generosa en momentos cuando falta y tu uso sorprendente de mí y los recursos que has puesto en mis manos para lograr tus propósitos. En el nombre de Jesús te alabo, Amen.
My Prayer...
All praise to you, Abba Father, for your extravagant help and mercy in times of need, your loving and generous provision in times of want, and your surprising and exciting use of my limited resources as I seek to do your will. I know that you have entrusted me with what I have to accomplish the work you have called me to do as I serve to bless others. Forgive me, Father, for not trusting you to make what I think are my meager resources more than enough to do your work in my world! In Jesus' name, I ask for your grace fully confident and praising you for your sufficiency. Amen.
