Pensamento:
Deus abençoou o Rei Davi incrivelmente – de pastor a Rei, de menino a herói de guerra, de uma vila a líder de um grande império. A preocupação de Davi, porém, foi que Deus ficasse perto dele e seus descendentes, e cumprisse as promessas que tinha feito a Davi. Mais do que qualquer outra descoberta na sua vida de serviço, Davi tinha aprendido que o futuro, que cada batalha, e que qualquer esperança real ficava na presença do Senhor Deus de Israel. Quando Deus fala, ele cumpre sua palavra. Quando Deus age, ele age para redimir. Então, Davi pediu que Deus fizesse o que ele anseia fazer, abençoar seu povo e cumprir suas promessas.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God had blessed King David incredibly. God had taken him from a despised little brother and shepherd boy who became a great warrior and Israel's King. David went from an errand boy to a war hero, from a small nowhere town to become the leader of a great empire. David's concern, however, was that God would remain close to him and his descendants, upholding the promises he had made to David. More than any other discovery in his amazing life, David had learned that the future, that every battle, and that any real hope, lies in the presence of the Lord God of Israel with him and his descendants. When God speaks, he keeps his word. When God acts, he redeems, delivers, and brings victories. So, David asked God to do what God longs to do: bless his people and keep his promises. Which reminds us that he can do the same with us!
Oração:
Deus confiável e honrável, meu Pai que me sustém e me abençoa, obrigado pela sua presença na minha vida e suas promessas para meu futuro. Traga-me à sua presença com grande alegria, assim como tem prometido, para que possa morar na sua casa para sempre. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_mateus9_37.html
My Prayer...
Trustworthy and honorable God, our Father who has sustained and blessed us, thank you for your presence in our lives and your promises for our future. Bring us into your presence with great joy, just as you promised, so that we can dwell in your house forever. In Jesus' name, we pray with anticipation. Amen.
