Pensamento:
Você está ouvindo a voz de quem na sua vida? Podemos ouvir toda espécie de “vozes”, mas só podemos seguir uma. Então, quem você vai ouvir na hora de tomar suas decisões sobre moralidade, valores, ética e caráter? Quem tem o direito de ser ouvido sobre a vida, morte, salvação e pecado? Deus deixa inequivocamente claro; temos de ouvir seu Filho Jesus!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Who are you listening to in your life? We can hear all sorts of different voices and listen to all sorts of religious commentary and insight. However, we can follow only One as the Source of all truth and life. Who are we going to listen to as we make our decisions about morality, values, ethics, and character? Who has earned the right to be heard regarding truth, life, death, sin, and salvation? God makes it unmistakably clear at the Mount of Transfiguration: we must listen to his Son Jesus! Moses was amazing, and Elijah was bold and brave. Peter, James, and John were blown away to see them at Jesus' transfiguration. But God made it clear: we must listen, obey, and follow only one as our source of truth, and God said of him, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"
Oração:
Todo Poderoso Deus, por favor, ajude-me a silenciar as vozes de dúvida, engano e demagogia que me rodam. Ajude-me a ouvir a voz de Jesus, segui-lo e obedecer a Sua vontade em tudo, independente do que as pessoas ao meu redor estejam escolhendo fazer. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem especial de hoje: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_mateus17_5.html e veja as reflexões sobre o dia de Sete de Setembro: http://www.hermeneutica.com/mensagens/sete-de-setembro.html
My Prayer...
Almighty God, I need the Holy Spirit's help to silence the voices of dispute, doubt, deception, and demagoguery surrounding me. Help me hear the voice of Jesus above the noise of politicians, influencers, and self-appointed experts of my day. I want to follow Jesus and obey him in all things, no matter what anyone else may choose to do or to whom they entrust their hearts. Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
