When
I visited Mexico, I wished I knew how to speak Spanish. I could say gracias (thank
you), muy
bien (very good), and hola (hello). But that was
about it. I grew tired of just saying gracias to everyone who talked with me or did something for me. But we should never grow tired of giving words of thanks to
God. David knew the importance of saying thanks. After he became king over Israel and had a tent constructed to house the ark of the covenant (where God’s presence dwelt), he appointed some of the Levites “to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord” (1 Chron. 16:4). Many people remained there to offer sacrifices and give thanks to God daily (vv.37-38).   His psalm gave thanks for what the Lord had done: “His deeds among the peoples” (v.8), “His wondrous works” (v.9), “His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth” (v.12), and His “salvation” (v.35). David’s song
also gave praise for who the Lord was:
good, merciful, and holy (vv.34-35). |

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! —1 Chronicles 16:8 |
Like
David, we should never grow tired of sayinggracias to God for who He is and
for all He’s done for us. Take time today to offer your sacrifice of
praise to Him.

El Libro a los Hebreos Propósito: Alertar, edificar y fortalecer a la iglesia (pastores, servidores, miembros e invitados) para permanecer firmes en la fe frente a las corrientes de estos postreros tiempos. INTRODUCCIÓN Amada iglesia, hermanos, servidores, pastores y amigos que nos visitan hoy: sean todos muy bienvenidos a la casa del Señor. Cuando uno viaja por una carretera sinuosa en la montaña, nota que a la orilla de los abismos hay unas estructuras fijas: las barandas de seguridad. La función de esas barandas no es arruinar el viaje ni quitar el paisaje; están ahí para salvarnos la vida si perdemos el control o nos desviamos del camino. En la carta a los Hebreos, el Espíritu Santo colocó cinco "barandas espirituales". El autor no escribió estas advertencias para destruir nuestra paz ni para infundir un temor servil, sino para proteger a la iglesia del mayor peligro espiritual: la apostasía. La apostasía rara vez ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Comienza como un enfriamie...
