Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Cuando estas palabras fueron por primera vez dichas, se referían a la restauración de la nación de Israel. Pero también se pueden aplicar a nosotros. La restauración puede ser la venida de Cristo cuando nos lleve para estar con Dios. Toda barrera entre nosotros y Dios desaparecerá. Nuestra mortalidad será tragada por la victoria. Veremos a Dios, cara a cara. Que venga pronto ese día.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When these words were first spoken, the prophet and his people were focused on God's restoration of Israel back to their place in Judea, their prominence in the world of nations, their beauty in daily life, and their worship and security in the Temple of the Lord. From our vantage point, this prayer can be our prayer as well. Restoration can mean Christ's return, which brings us home to God. On that day, every barrier standing between God and us will fall. Our mortality will be swallowed up in victory. We will see God face to face and walk with him in the cool of the day as his perfect children. Maranatha — O Lord come (1 Corinthians 16:22-24 NRSV). And may that day come soon!
Mi oración
Dios santo y asombroso, sé que existe un abismo grande entre tu perfección y mis limitaciones. Pero, Padre querido, creo que has cruzado ese abismo con tu gracia. Espero que esa perfección se ve en su plenitud. Fortaléceme en mis batallas con el Maligno, y acepta mi alabanza. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy and awesome God, I know a huge gulf stands between your perfection and my limitations. Yet, dear Father, I believe you have spanned that gulf with your grace. While I wait for that perfection to dawn in all its fullness, please empower me for my battles with the evil one and deliver me from all spiritual harm and attack. Until the day I see you face to face, please accept my all-too-limited and human praise for all you have done to save me. I rejoice in Jesus' name. Amen.
