Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Pablo se enfrentaba a momentos muy difíciles casi al final de su vida, muchos de los que Pablo había convertido lo habían abandonado cuando él se encontraba en circunstancias difíciles. Pero él sabía que Dios no lo iba a abandonar. Había entregado su vida a Jesús como Señor. Ese Señor honraría la inversión que Pablo había hecho. Su vida, su futuro y su destino eterno estaban confiados en el Señor. El sabía que estaban seguros en el Señor. Creía con todo su ser que su fe sería confirmada el día en que Jesús regresa y toda rodilla se doblaría ante Él.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As Paul faced extremely challenging circumstances near the end of his life, many he had led to the Lord had abandoned him. Nevertheless, he was confident that the Lord would not abandon him! He had committed his life to Jesus as Lord, and the Lord would ensure that Paul's investment would not be wasted. His life, future, and eternal destiny were entrusted to the Lord. He was confident they were also secure in the Lord (Romans 8:32-39). With every fiber of his being, Paul believed that on a specific day known only to God the Father, Jesus the Son would return, every knee would bow, and Paul's faith in the Lord would be joyously validated. I am convinced Paul's conviction was on the mark. My life and future are based on that conviction. My prayer is that you share this same conviction, too!
Mi oración
Dios Todopoderoso, creo, pero fortalece mi fe para que no importa lo que tenga que aguantar, mi confianza en ti se mantenga firme y mi esperanza se mantenga vibrante. Te confío todo lo que soy y todo lo que espero ser, creyendo totalmente que que me guiarás en el camino y me llevarás a tu gloriosa presencia con gran gozo. En el nombre glorioso de Jesús, oro. Amen.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I believe, but please strengthen my faith. No matter what I endure, may my confidence in you will remain firm and my hope may remain vibrant. I entrust all I am and hope to be into your hands. I believe you will bring me through whatever lies ahead and guide me into your glorious presence with great joy. In Jesus' glorious name, I pray. Amen.
