pues es Dios quien nos ha hecho; él nos ha creado en Cristo Jesús para que hagamos buenas obras, siguiendo el camino que él nos había preparado de antemano. Efesios 2:10 (DHH) De acuerdo a Efesios 2:10, Dios ha preparado caminos para que usted los tome. Pero estos caminos no son su destino. El destino es la creencia de que Dios lo quiere rico o pobre, enfermo o sano, y eso es lo que usted consigue sin importar sus opciones. La Biblia no nos enseña a creer en el destino. Eclesiastés 3 nos enseña que hay un momento para nacer y uno para morir, lo cual puede sonar mucho como el concepto de destino. Sin embargo, esos no pueden ser tiempos preestablecidos. Si …
IT’S TIME TO DREAM AGAIN!
In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people…your old men will dream dreams. Acts 2:17 (NIV) If you’ve gone through some difficult times in life and you have given up on your dream, Holy Spirit wants to help you dream again. He wants to lead you to fulfil your God-given dreams! In Acts 2, just following the moment when Holy Spirit made His entrance into believer’s hearts for the first time, Peter stood up in front of a crowd to preach. He quoted an Old Testament prophesy from Joel, and it’s interesting that it specifically mentioned the older generation when it comes to dreaming dreams. Sometimes in life, the more heartache and hurt we’ve been through, the more …
Staying motivated. It’s easier than you think.
Have you set any goals for 2016? If you did, you may have noticed that your motivation to achieve these goals has already started to dwindle. It’s maddening, isn’t it? They’re great goals and you really want to reach them! The good news is there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of achieving those goals. For one, make sure your goals are concrete enough. Saying, “I want my business to grow,” is too vague. You need to break that goal into specifics that will help you take action. Second, make sure your goals are realistic. There’s nothing more deflating than realizing that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. That being said, even if you already announced a grand …
Seguir a Jesús no es Doloroso
Me mostrarás el camino de la vida. Hay gran alegría en tu presencia; hay dicha eterna junto a ti. Salmos 16:11 (DHH) Es natural estar motivado por el deseo de buscar el placer y evitar el dolor. Por eso es tan importante entender que servir a Dios es el más grande placer que podrá tener. Nuestro versículo de hoy dice que los placeres eternos están a la derecha de Dios, pero primero habla del camino de la vida y de encontrar el gozo en la presencia de Dios. Se fija, estar enfocado únicamente en su placer puede traer dolor y angustia. Pero pasar tiempo en la presencia de Dios y seguir Su camino para su vida, ¡trae una especie de placer que perdura! …
FOLLOWING JESUS ISN’T PAINFUL
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11 (NIV) It’s natural to be motivated by the desire to pursue pleasure and avoid pain. That’s why it is so important to understand that serving God is the greatest pleasure you will ever have. Our verse today says that eternal pleasures are at God’s right hand, but first it talks about the path of life and finding joy in God’s presence. You see, being focused solely on your pleasure can bring pain and heartache. But spending time in God’s presence and pursuing His path for your life brings a kind of pleasure that lasts! Now, don’t misunderstand. Eternal …
