During
a recent college football season, University of Texas quarterback Colt
McCoy began every post-game interview by thanking God for the
opportunity to play. When he was injured early in the national
championship game, he was forced to watch from the sidelines as his
team lost. |
| Read: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 |
After the game, he told a television reporter, "I'd have given everything I have to be out there with my team.... I always give God the glory, I never question why things happen the way they do. God is in control of my life and I know that if nothing else, I'm standing on the Rock." |
| I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. — 2 Timothy 4:7 |
The apostle Paul experienced God’s deliverance many times, but he didn’t insist on things going his way. From prison in Rome he wrote to Timothy: “I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand” (2 Tim. 4:6). Some might say that Paul had failed to accomplish his goals and that his life was ending in defeat. But he saw it differently: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (v.7). He looked forward to an eternal crown (v.8). As we walk with God, we can praise Him for His faithfulness—win or lose. I
can always count on God, my heavenly Father,
For He changes not; He always is the same. Yesterday, today, forever, He is faithful, And I know He loves me, praise His holy name! —Felten In
every change He faithful will remain. —Katharina von Schlegel

Regocijaos en el Señor siempre. Otra vez digo: ¡Regocijaos! (Filipenses 4:4) Jesús es el motivo de mi sonrisa, porque en su presencia encuentro la verdadera alegría. No es una alegría pasajera que depende de las circunstancias, sino una paz duradera que trasciende las dificultades. En medio de las dificultades de la vida, puedo confiar en que él está a mi lado, tomándome de la mano y guiándome por el camino seguro. La sonrisa que Jesús pone en mi rostro es un reflejo de su amor inconmensurable. Cuando miro la cruz, recuerdo el sacrificio que él hizo por mí y mi corazón se llena de gratitud. Él me amó primero, incluso cuando todavía estaba perdido. Este amor incondicional me sostiene y me da fuerzas para afrontar cada nuevo día con esperanza. Las promesas de Jesús son fuentes de alegría. Él nos prometió vida abundante y en su palabra encuentro consuelo y dirección. Cuando estoy cansado, encuentro descanso en sus brazos. Cuando estoy triste, él es mi alegría. Cuando soy débil, él es mi f...
