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

Mas buscad primeramente el reino de Dios y su justicia, y todas estas cosas os serán añadidas. (Mateo 6:33) Muchas veces pasamos por momentos difíciles y nos sentimos débiles, sin fuerzas para continuar. El mundo que nos rodea puede estar lleno de desafíos, pero la Biblia nos enseña que cuando buscamos a Dios, encontramos fuerza, paz y dirección para nuestras vidas. Buscar a Dios significa ponerlo a él primero, confiar en él y buscar su presencia todos los días. Cuando oramos, leemos la Biblia y adoramos a Dios, nos conectamos con él y recibimos su poder. Este poder nos fortalece para afrontar cualquier dificultad y nos da valentía para luchar las batallas diarias. La cobertura del poder de Dios ocurre cuando permitimos que el Espíritu Santo actúe en nuestras vidas. Él nos da sabiduría, nos guía y nos ayuda a vivir según la voluntad de Dios. A menudo resolvemos las cosas por nuestra cuenta y nos sentimos cansados. Pero cuando entregamos todo a Dios, él nos renueva y nos da fuerzas para...
