At a recent Kansas high school state track championship, an unusual thing happened. The team that won the girls 3,200-meter relay was disqualified. But what happened next was even more unusual. The team that was awarded the state championship by default turned right around and gave their medals to the team that had been disqualified. The first school, St. Mary’s Colgan, lost first place because judges ruled that a runner had stepped out of her lane as she handed off the baton. That meant the second team, Maranatha Academy, moved up to first. After receiving their medals, the girls from Maranatha saw the downtrodden looks on the faces of the St. Mary’s girls, so they gave them their individual medals.   Why
did they do this? As Maranatha’s coach Bernie Zarda put it: “Our theme
for the year was to run not for our glory, but for God’s glory.”
As a
result of the girls’ action, their story was told throughout Kansas,
and God’s name was lifted up.
When we set aside our own interests and accomplishments to recognize that it’s better to care for the interests of others (Phil. 2:4), we see God’s name glorified. Acting with grace and kindness toward others is one of the best ways to point people to God. |

is not blind
but looks Abroad through others’ eyes, And asks not, “Must I give?” But, “May I sacrifice?” —Ziegler  When
we love God, we will serve people.

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...
