Pensamento:
Tantas vezes pensamos nas obras passadas de Deus e achamos que não veremos a majestade do seu poder como os nossos ancestrais a viram. Mas, assim como Deus lembrou uma nova geração do seu povo de que ele iria junto com eles e os capacitaria como tinha feito ao seus pais, nós também devemos esperar que Ele faça mais do que podemos pedir ou mesmo imaginar pelo seu poder que opera dentro de nós! (Efésios 3:20)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Too often, I fear we look at the past work of God and think we will not see the display of his power in our day as our predecessors did in their day. God used Moses' farewell address to remind a new generation of Israel that he had delivered their parents out of Egypt and now would go with them and empower them as he had their parents. We also need to expect him to do more in our day than all we can ask or even imagine by his power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20-21). We need to pray that God will do in our day what we heard he did in days gone by with our ancestors of faith (Habakkuk 3:2). And, dear believer in Jesus, we need to remember the promise of our Savior:
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father (John 14:12).
Oração:
Todo Poderoso Deus, que é infinitamente capaz de trabalhar com poder e majestade, pedimos que o Senhor use seu poder para chamar os perdidos a Jesus na nossa geração. Por favor, use-nos como suas ferramentas e faça nos nossos dias a grande obra de redenção, reconciliação e renovação como fez no passado. Pai, acreditamos no seu poder e no seu desejo de salvar. Por favor, aja grandemente para redimir nossa geração. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém.
My Prayer...
Almighty God, who is infinitely able to work with power and might for your people, we ask that you use your power to call the unsaved to Jesus in our generation. Please use us as your tools and do mighty works of redemption and revival in our day as you have done in years gone by. Father, we believe in your power and your desire to save. We know the many ways you acted with power and grace in the past to deliver your people. Please act mightily in our day, redeem our generation, and call them back to you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
