Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Jesús dejó claro que Dios quiere que seamos apasionados en cuanto a nuestras vidas espirituales. "Conozco tus obras; sé que no eres ni frío ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueres lo uno o lo otro! Por tanto, como no eres ni frío ni caliente, sino tibio, estoy por vomitarte de mi boca." (Apocalipsis 3:15-16) ¡Vivamos con pasión para el Señor!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul is emphatic that Jesus' disciples must be full of spiritual fervor to serve the Lord. Jesus was even more emphatic that God wants us to be passionate about our Christian life. He told the believers in Laodicea to repent and be passionate when he said:
"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:15-16)
Jesus has done so much to redeem us. Let's live passionately for the Lord, and "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep [our] spiritual fervor"!
Mi oración
Santo Dios y Rey de los Siglos, confieso que no siempre he vivido mi vida con pasión hacia ti. Enciende en mí un celo y pasión hacia ti y tu obra en el mundo. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy Lord and King of the Ages, I confess: I have sometimes let my spiritual fire die down and my spiritual fervor wane. Jesus, please have the Spirit come with holy fire, kindling a renewed zeal and passion for you in me as I live my life and influence those around me. I want to zealously and shamelessly pursue your mission in today's world and live a vibrant life that shows I love Jesus as my Lord! I ask this in Jesus' name and to honor you, Father. Amen.
