Pray About Everything

"Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15 Want to worry less? Than pray more. Rather than look forward in fear, look upward in Faith. This command surprises no one. Regarding prayer, the Bible never blushes. Jesus taught people that "they should always pray and never loose hope" (Luke 18:1) Paul told believers, "Continue praying, keeping alert, and always thanking God" (Colossians 4:2) James declared "Anyone who is having troubles should pray" (James 5:13) Rather than worry about anything, "Pray about everything." Everything, diaper changes and dates? Business meetings and broken bathtubs? Procrastination and prognostications? PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

GOD'S STUBBORN LOVE

"My son was dead, but now he is alive again! He was lost, but now he is found." Luke 15:14

Jesus...summarized God's stubborn love with a parable. He told about a teenager who decided that life on the farm was too slow for his tastes. So with a pockets full of inheritance money, he set out to find the big time. What he found instead were hangovers, fair weather friends, and long unemployment lines. When he had had just about enough of the pig's life that he could take, he swallowed his pride, dug his hands deep into his empty pockets,and began the long walk home; all the while rehearsing the speech that he planned to give to his father. He never used it. Just when he got to the top of the hill, his father who had been waiting at the gate, saw him. The boy's words of apology were quickly muffled by the father's words of forgiveness... If you ever wonder how God can use you to make a difference in your world...look in the forgiveness found in those open arms and take courage.

La gloria que es sin igual

. . . el Señor Jesús. . . me ha enviado que puede recibir la vista. . . -Hechos 9:17



Cuando Pablo recibió la vista, también recibió la visión espiritual en la persona de Jesucristo. Toda su vida y predicación a partir de entonces se consumieron totalmente con nada más que a Jesucristo: "Porque me propuse no saber entre vosotros cosa alguna sino a Jesucristo, ya éste crucificado" ( 1 Corintios 2:2 ). Pablo nunca volvió a permitir cualquier cosa para atraer y retener la atención de su mente y alma, sino el rostro de Jesucristo.

Tenemos que aprender a mantener un alto grado de carácter en nuestras vidas, incluso hasta el nivel que se ha revelado en nuestra visión de Jesucristo.

La característica duradera de un hombre espiritual es la habilidad para entender correctamente el significado de nuestro Señor Jesucristo en su vida, y la capacidad de explicar los propósitos de Dios para los demás. La pasión de hacer caso omiso de su vida es Jesucristo. Cada vez que vea esta cualidad en una persona, la sensación de que él es realmente un hombre conforme al corazón de Dios (ver Hechos 13:22 ).

Nunca permitas que nada te desvie de la visión de Jesucristo. Es la verdadera prueba de si son espirituales o no. Para ser no espiritual significa que otras cosas tienen una fascinación cada vez mayor para usted. Desde que mis ojos han visto a Jesús, me he perdido de vista todo lo demás, tan encadenado la visión de mi espíritu, contemplando al Crucificado.
