Felipe Massa of Brazil should have won the Formula One Grand Prix in Singapore. But as he drove off from a refueling stop while in the lead, the fuel hose was still attached. By the time his team removed the hose, he had lost so much time that he finished 13th. |

No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life. — 2 Timothy 2:4 |
There
are many attractive things in our world that are so easy to get
entangled with—hobbies, sports, TV, computer games. These may start off
as “refueling” activities, but later they can take up so much of our
time and thought that they interfere with the purpose for which God
created us: to share the good news of Christ, serve Him with our gifts,
and bring glory to Him.
Paul told Timothy why he ought not be entangled with this world’s affairs: So that he could “please Him” (v.4). If your desire is to please the Lord Jesus, you will want to stay untangled from the world. As John reminds us, “The world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever” (1 John 2:17).
Although
we live in this world,
we must declare our allegiance to heaven. |

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...
