Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Como ministro, tengo el privilegio de estar presente en los eventos más importantes en las vidas de las personas. Buenos o malos, estar en los momentos decisivos en la vida de las personas es privilegio. En los momentos difíciles, momentos de muerte, los pasajes como este me llenan el corazón con poder y me recuerdan porque decidí servir de esta forma. Las promesas de Dios en estas palabras son un gran recordatorio de lo que empezó cuando redimió al pueblo de Egipto y lo completó llevándolos a la Tierra Prometida. Ahora podemos escuchar una promesa más poderosa detrás de esas palabras. Dios hizo que sea más razonable el creerlas, ya que hizo lo mismo con Israel. Podemos confiar que a nosotros también nos llevará al lugar prometido.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As a minister, I have been privileged to be present at many of the most important events in people's lives. Being present at these crossroads is a sacred trust. In those hardest moments — tragedy, catastrophe, dying, and death — verses like this one fill my heart with strength, and the promise reminds me why I answered a call to serve in waters way above my head. God's promise in this passage is a great reminder that what he began when he redeemed his people out of Egypt, he completed by bringing them into the Promised Land. Now, we can hear a more powerful promise behind these words through the voice and writing of the apostle Paul to the Philippians.
...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).
Because of Jesus, we have even confidence to trust God's promises in our verse for today. God did what he said for Israel. Since he did it for them, we confidently say "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling."
Mi oración
Pastor Tierno, me has guiado por momentos difíciles, siempre llevándome a salvo. Ahora busco vivir por ti; haznos ver tu presencia. Confío que me estás guiando a tu morada santa. Confieso que es difícil tener fe cuando el camino es difícil. Renueva mi valor, oh Señor, tal como hiciste con Moisés y Josué. Úsame, querido Señor, para ayudar a otros a encontrar tu promesa, a encontrar el camino a ti. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Tender Shepherd, you have led me through some tough times and brought me safely through. As I seek to live for you, please make your presence known. I genuinely believe that you are guiding me to your holy dwelling, but I confess, at times, the way becomes difficult, and faith becomes hard. Renew my courage, O Lord, as you did with reluctant Moses and untested Joshua. Then, dear Lord, please use me to help others find your promise and their way home to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
