Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios odia al pecado. ¿Tu no? Dios odia al pecado. ¿Tú no? Aún si lo odiamos nos resulta fácil seguir cayendo en sus mismas trampas. Juan, el pastor tierno, lo reconoció. Nuestra meta es no pecar nunca. Aun así, él nos da la certeza de que quienes tratamos de vivir una vida fiel, tenemos al Hijo de Dios mismo que sale como nuestro abogado si es que fallamos en el intento. Frente a Dios nos proclama inocentes. Así debemos de invitarle al comienzo de cada día a entrar en nuestros corazones. Confiemos en su poder y gracia para sostenernos en el día.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God hates sin. Don't you? I know I do. But isn't it amazing how we'll fall back into the same old traps again and again. This is where John, the tender Shepherd that he was, hits the nail on the head. The goal is to not sin even one sin. But, knowing our struggle against the flesh, John also gives assurance to those of us trying to live faithful and pure lives. He wants us to know that when we do sin, the Sacrifice for our sins, God's Son, is also our defense attorney who proclaims us sinless by his blood! So let's draw close to Christ. Let's invite him into our heart each morning as we begin the day. Let's trust in his power and grace to sustain us and carry us through. When we do, he will!
Mi oración
Dios, no hay nadie como tú. Has provisto el sacrificio por mi pecado. Aunque mis pecados te rompieron al corazón, aun así proveíste el sacrificio por ellos. Ayúdame hoy mientras trato de dar mi vida como sacrificio a ti, dándote gracias por tu gracia. Por Jesús y en su nombre oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
God, no one and nothing is like you. I did not have to provide the sacrifice for my sins. Even though my sins broke your heart, you provided that sacrifice. Please use me today as I try to give myself, my life, and my future back to you as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to you as I try to say thank you for your grace. Through Jesus, and in his name I pray. Amen.
