Every
year I have a physical—that periodic visit to the doctor’s office where
I’m poked and prodded, screened and studied. It is something that can
be easy to dread, and even to fear. We aren’t sure what the tests will
show or what the doctors will say. Still, we know that we need this
evaluation to understand our physical well-being and what is needed as
we move forward.
The same is true
spiritually in the life of the Christ-follower. We need to pause from
time to time and reflect on the condition of our hearts and lives. One
place for an important self-study is at the Lord’s Table. Paul wrote to
the Corinthians, some of whom were eating in an unworthy manner: “Let a
man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the
cup” (1 Cor. 11:28). In the remembrance of Christ’s death for us, there
can be a sobering clarity of thought and understanding, for as we
consider the price Jesus paid for us, it is the best time to consider
the condition of our heart and our relationships. Then, with honest
understanding of our spiritual well-being, we can turn to Him for the
grace we need to move forward in His name. |

me, O God, my heart discern;
Try me, my inmost thoughts to learn.
Help me to keep from sin, I pray,
Guarding my mind throughout this day. —Anon.
Self-examination is one test from which
no Christian is excused.

OBJETIVO: Que usted sepa cuáles son, LOS BENEFICIOS DE UNA UNCION APOSTOLICA. TEXTO SALMOS 89:1-4 Las misericordias de Jehová cantaré perpetuamente; De generación en generación haré notoria tu fidelidad con mi boca. Porque dije: Para siempre será edificada misericordia; En los cielos mismos afirmarás tu verdad. Hice pacto con mi escogido; Juré a David mi siervo, diciendo: Para siempre confirmaré tu descendencia, Y edificaré tu trono por todas las generaciones. Selah SALMOS 89:20-28 Hallé a David mi siervo; Lo ungí con mi santa unción. Mi mano estará siempre con él, Mi brazo también lo fortalecerá. No lo sorprenderá el enemigo, Ni hijo de iniquidad lo quebrantará; Sino que quebrantaré delante de él a sus enemigos, Y heriré a los que le aborrecen. Mi verdad y mi misericordia estarán con él, Y en mi nombre será exaltado su poder. Asimismo pondré su mano sobre el mar, Y sobre los ríos su diestra. Él me clamará: Mi padre eres tú, Mi Dios, y la roca de mi salvación. Yo tam...
