Pensamento:
Não sou bom em esperar por nada. Sou como as crianças que viram os catálogos dos brinquedos de Natal e estão ansiosas para o grande dia dos presentes chegar. Deus tem um grande Dia de Presentes para nós no futuro. Naquele dia maravilhoso, toda a nossa espera acabará e a nossa fé se tornará visível. Vamos seguir o exemplo desses grandes heróis da fé e receber aquele dia de longe, com antecipação, louvando a Deus pela sua vitória através de Jesus Cristo nas nossas vidas.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I'm not good at waiting for much of anything. I'm like the kids who have seen the ads for Christmas toys, are anxious for the big gift day, and begin to tell everyone what they want for Christmas. God does have the "Greatest Gift Day" ahead for us. On that wonderful day, all our waiting will be over, and our faith will become sight. But we grow tired of waiting. We can easily worry about what we don't have or how we have been treated. The evil one wants to discourage us and smother out our faith. So, let's follow the example of these great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11:1-40. Let's anticipate and welcome our "Greatest Gift Day" from afar, not letting our apparent circumstances dampen our spirits, weaken our faith, or stop our praise to God for our coming victory through Jesus Christ.
Oração:
Vitorioso Rei, Soberano dos Séculos, eu Lhe louvo pela ressurreição do futuro. Eu Lhe agradeço antecipadamente pelo dia em que Lhe verei face a face e me juntarei à grande celebração no céu. Até aquele dia, por favor, use-me para ajudar outros a verem o caráter e a alegria da sua grande vitória. Em nome de Jesus. Amém. || Veja a imagem: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_hebreus11_13.html
My Prayer...
Victorious King, Ruler of the Ages, I praise you for the resurrection ahead for me. Thank you in advance for the day I get to see you face-to-face and join the grand celebration of heaven. Thank you for the great heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, who are examples of faith that endures despite negative circumstances and hard times. I will keep praising you and believing in your goodness until I see that "Greatest Gift Day"! As I wait, please use me to help others anticipate our great victory and overwhelming joy. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
