Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
No sé si tú, pero soy una persona que aprende al ver las cosas. Aprecio todo lo que veo en la creación del mundo hecha por Dios con toda su variedad, color y diversidad. Agradezco como utiliza imagines en nuestro mundo para recordarnos su provisión diaria y gracia eterna. La belleza del arcoíris no es increíble solo por sus colores o el aroma de la lluvia recién caída, sino en la promesa que nuestro Dios ha elegido unirse a nuestro destino y a nuestro mundo.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I don't know about you, but I'm very visual. So, I appreciate how God made the world with all its varied colors, many species, and rich landscapes. I am thankful that our Father in Heaven used key images in our world to remind us of his daily provision and eternal grace. The beauty of a rainbow is not just in its beautiful colors or the aroma of fresh rain that often accompanies it but also in the covenant God made with Noah and our world after the Great Flood. The eternal and living God chose to link himself to our destiny and to involve himself in our world because of his love and grace. With the rainbow as his symbol, God promised not to destroy all life on our planet with a flood. Each of us is God's creation from the womb, so we are precious to him (Psalm 139:13-16). So, we commit to living morally and responsibly to God as we seek to honor him and his covenant represented by the rainbow (Genesis 9:4-7) and refuse to dishonor this covenant with wickedness (Genesis 9:22-24). God made the rainbow as a reminder that he loves us and calls us to honor him with our character and care for his creation.
Mi oración
Dios Todopoderoso, gracias por hacer tus grandes promesas cuando no teníamos derecho a esperarlas y mucho menos demandarlas. Gracias por demostrarlas en la vida diaria para que yo siempre tenga un recuerdo de tu cuidado constante. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, thank you for making your great promises when we had no right to expect them, much less to demand them. Thank you for attaching those promises to things in my everyday world that remind me of your constant and watchful care. In Jesus' name, I ask for strength and wisdom to respond to your grace in holiness and honor. Amen.
