No es que el Señor se tarde en cumplir su promesa, como algunos suponen, sino que tiene paciencia con ustedes, pues no quiere que nadie muera, sino que todos se vuelvan a Dios. 2 Pedro 3:9 (DHH) ¿Cuándo usted ora, parece que la respuesta de Dios siempre es “no” o “esperar”? Usted puede comenzar a pensar que pedir ayuda a Dios no tiene sentido. Quizás usted haya intentado suplicar Su ayuda, pero como se ha sentido rechazado, deja de orar por completo. La vida puede ser difícil, lo que hace que muchos se pregunten “¿Por qué Dios permite tanto dolor en esta vida?” No, no lo permite. El hecho de que algo suceda no significa que sea la voluntad de Dios. 2 Pedro 3:9 nos …
Does God Really Care?
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV) Does it seem as though God’s answer is always “no” or “wait” when you pray? You may begin to think that asking God for help is pointless. Maybe you even tried begging Him for help but because you feel rejected, you stop praying altogether. Life can be tough, causing many to ask “Why does God allow so much pain in this life?” He doesn’t. Just because something happens doesn’t mean it is God’s will. 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that He’s not willing that any would perish, yet hundreds go into eternity every day without knowing …
Viva una Vida Increíble
Dios, por su poder, nos ha concedido todo lo que necesitamos para la vida y la devoción, al hacernos conocer a aquel que nos llamó por su propia grandeza y sus obras maravillosas. 2 Pedro 1:3 (DHH) Hace años, cuando trabajé en rescate de emergencia, nuestro equipo recibió una llamada extraña. Se había reportado una pila de abono en llamas, pero cuando llegaron los bomberos, encontraron algo sorprendente. Esto era más que una pila de escombros, era la casa de alguien. Un hombre había excavado un túnel debajo de la pila de abono y vivía allí. Había sufrido inhalación de humo y, mientras los paramédicos lo atendían, la policía revisó sus posesiones para salvar lo que pudieran. Se sorprendieron al descubrir que tenía un galón …
Live An Amazing Life
Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! 2 Peter 1:3 (MSG) Years ago when I worked in emergency rescue, our team received a strange call. A burning manure pile on an acreage had been reported but when fire fighters arrived, they found something surprising. This was more than just a pile of debris—it was someone’s home. A man had burrowed a tunnel under the manure pile and was living there. He had suffered smoke inhalation and as paramedics attended to him, police went through his possessions to salvage what they could. They were surprised to find that …
Open Your Gift!
…work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling. Philippians 2:12 (AMPC) When Jesus died for you, He made it possible for you to have a free gift. When you give your life to Him, you can access His peace, joy and freedom. However, Philippians 2:12 instructs you to “work out” your salvation “with reverence and awe and trembling.” Salvation is a free gift given to you but it takes work to get its full benefit into your soul. I am not talking about earning your way into Heaven. Once you give your life to Jesus, you will go to Heaven but there is more to the gift that you need to open. The …
