Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Dios nos dió su palabra a bendecirnos. Cuando obedecemos lo que pide de nosotros, tenenmos la dicha de caminar en esta bendición. A su vez, Jesús nos recuerda en el Sermon del Monte que cuando conocemos la voluntad de Dios y no la obedecemos, nos equivocamos de grande. No sé de tí, pero yo quiero recibir tal bendición. Gracias a Dios por hablarnos por su palabra, las Escrituras, para que podamos conocer a su voluntad y caminar en su bendición y por hablarnos por su Palabra Viva, su Hijo, para que también podamos conocer a su corazón mientras la vivimos.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus responded to the crowd's praises for his mother and redirected that blessing toward all who would hear God's word and obey it. Yes, Mary deserves our praise and thanks. Jesus is not belittling her. Instead, he reminds us that God's word was given to bless us when we obey it. When we obey God, we walk in his blessing. When we know the Lord's will and don't obey it, we are foolish and invite destruction on ourselves (Matthew 7:). I don't know about you, but I prefer to receive a blessing! I choose to do more than know what Jesus taught; I want to follow his example and obey his teachings! God blessed us by speaking to us through his word, the Scriptures, so we can understand his will and walk in his blessing. God also chose to come to us in Jesus and speak to us through his living Word, his Son, so we can know his heart, understand his will, and obey his teachings as we apply the Lord's truth to our lives.
Mi oración
Gracias, Padre, por revelar Tu voluntad a mí por las Escrituras. Gracias por querer bendecirme y protegerme de la maldad. Perdóname por las veces en el pasado cuando he faltado ser obediente. Me comprometo hoy vivir en Tu voluntad y obedecer a Tu palabra. En el nombre de Jesús oro, amén.
My Prayer...
Thank you, Father, for revealing your will through the Scriptures. Thank you for wanting to bless me and protect me from evil and consequences. Please forgive me for the times in the past when I ignored or rebelled against your will. Today, dear Lord, I commit to living in your will and obeying Jesus' teaching. In his name, I pray. Amen.
