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

Me buscarán y me encontrarán cuando me busquen de todo corazón. (Jeremías 29:13) Muchos saben sobre la vida de Jesús y sus milagros principales, pero pocos lo conocen a él de verdad. Conocer a Jesús va más allá de saber quién es él. No se le puede conocer sin buscarlo de verdad. Aquel que busca su presencia en espíritu y en verdad lo encontrará (Juan 4:23-24). Conocer a Jesús es andar según su Palabra y ser un imitador suyo (1 Corintios 11:1). Más que querer o decir palabras, es necesario actuar, decidir. Cuando buscamos a Jesús de todo corazón, él se nos revela. Esa cercanía con él transforma nuestra vida. Si aún no has tenido esa experiencia, búscala. ¡Jesús también desea conocerte! Conociendo a Jesús Para conocer a Jesús, lo primero que necesitas hacer es invitarle. Abre tu corazón y deja que Jesús entre en tu vida. Acéptale.Lee el Evangelio de Juan y sabrás cuánto Jesús te ama. Búscalo en oración. Dedica un tiempo de tu día para hablar con él. Para orar: Jesús, quiero conocerte más...
