Amos 7-9 | Apocalipsis 8<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cBienaventurado el var\u00f3n que soporta la tentaci\u00f3n; porque cuando haya resistido la prueba, recibir\u00e1 la corona de vida, que Dios ha prometido a los que le aman\u201d Santiago 1:12<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Sabemos que siempre debemos venir a Dios con una disposici\u00f3n de humildad verdadera, pero cuando estamos enfrentando pruebas y pidi\u00e9ndole a Dios sabidur\u00eda, Santiago a\u00f1ade algo m\u00e1s que debemos hacer. \u00c9l dice: \u201cPero que pida con fe, sin dudar, porque quien duda es como las olas del mar, agitadas y llevadas de un lado a otro por el viento\u201d (Santiago 1:6).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Si dudamos que Dios nos dar\u00e1 lo que \u00c9l ha prometido, estaremos pisando terreno inestable, un d\u00eda estaremos arriba, el siguiente abajo y as\u00ed sucesivamente. R\u00e1pidamente se convertir\u00e1 en un ciclo que nos frustrar\u00e1, nos confundir\u00e1 y nos dejar\u00e1 agotados. En el verso siguiente Santiago dice: \u201cQuien es as\u00ed no piense que va a recibir cosa alguna del Se\u00f1or; es indeciso e inconstante en todo lo que hace.\u201d Es extremadamente dif\u00edcil, por no decir imposible, permanecer en equilibrio, confiando en Dios por sus promesas cuando estamos plagados de incertidumbre. Es por eso que terminamos sacudidos como las olas del mar. De ser as\u00ed, estaremos confiando y creyendo parcialmente la palabra de Dios, pero debemos recordar que tenemos un Dios quien es totalmente capaz, confiable y suficiente, y es digno de toda confianza. Es \u00fanicamente aquella persona que conf\u00eda plenamente en Dios, quien es capaz de perseverar a trav\u00e9s de las pruebas, la persecuci\u00f3n y la tentaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Para esa persona, su enfoque no est\u00e1 en su sufrimiento presente o dificultades, sino en la certeza de la presencia de Cristo en su vida, y esto es lo que nos lleva a ver hacia el futuro con convicci\u00f3n y seguridad, la corona de vida que Dios promete a los que le aman. Cuando amamos a Dios, confiamos en \u00c9l, y cuando confiamos en \u00c9l, podemos ir a trav\u00e9s de la vida, enfrentando nuestros problemas como si ya estuvieran resueltos, puesto que ante los ojos de Dios, nuestros problemas y dificultades ya han sido resueltos.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Lo que para nosotros son problemas, para Dios en realidad son planes. Nuestras pruebas son constantes y numerosas, pero hay que aprender a perseverar con tal confianza en Dios, que podamos vivir nuestra vida con absoluta fe, confianza y total certeza en que lo que Dios ha prometido, \u00c9l mismo lo cumplir\u00e1. Preocuparse y alarmarse indica que estamos luchando en nuestras propias fuerzas contra nuestras circunstancias y que estamos tratando de vivir sin Dios. Jes\u00fas dijo: \u201c\u00bfQui\u00e9n de ustedes, por mucho que se preocupe, puede a\u00f1adir una sola hora al curso de su vida?\u201d (Mateo 6:27).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cConsid\u00e9rense muy dichosos\u201d dice Santiago. La persona que ha experimentado verdaderamente a Dios, conoce la bendici\u00f3n que vendr\u00e1 al final y sabe que nada le faltar\u00e1 porque en Cristo tenemos todo. En Apocalipsis 2:10, Jes\u00fas dice: \u201cS\u00e9 fiel hasta la muerte, y yo te dar\u00e9 la corona de la vida.\u00bb En esta vida, hemos sido plenamente bendecidos y contamos con todos los recursos para perseverar a trav\u00e9s de las pruebas y dificultades, pero m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de eso, debemos siempre recordar la magn\u00edfica e inconmensurable bendici\u00f3n que recibiremos cuando Jes\u00fas nos d\u00e9 la corona de la vida, y esto no se refiere como algunos piensan que si somos files recibir\u00e1n la vida eterna, esto es un premio es justamente eso una corona que se llama la corona de Vida y se da a aquellos que han recibido a Jes\u00fas como su Salvador personal y perseveran fieles a la fe a pesar de las dificultades y problemas en sus vidas..<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
ORACI\u00d3N: Se\u00f1or Jes\u00fas, ll\u00e9name con una fe inquebrantable que me permita confiar totalmente en Ti a trav\u00e9s de mis pruebas y dificultades. Te doy gracias por ser todo lo que necesito y por la promesa de la corona de la vida.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PARA REFLEXIONAR: \u00bfEstoy viviendo durante mis pruebas y dificultades con la mirada puesta en Cristo y en la corona de vida que \u00c9l mismo ha prometido a los que le aman?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

CROWN OF LIFE<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Wenesday Januery 18 , 2018<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Amos 7-9 | Revelation 8<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abBlessed is the man who endures temptation; because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him \u00abJames 1:12<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
We know we must always come to God with an arrangement of true humility, but when we are facing trials and asking God for wisdom, James adds something more to do. He says: \u00abBut let him ask in faith, not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and carried to and fro by the wind\u00bb (James 1: 6).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If we doubt that God will give us what He has promised, we are treading on shaky ground, one day we will be up, the next down and so on. He quickly becomes a cycle that frustrate us, confuse us and leave us exhausted. In the following verse James says: \u00abThat man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; It is minded man, unstable in all he does. \u00abIt is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to remain in balance, trusting God for His promises when we are plagued with uncertainty. That’s why we ended tossed like the waves of the sea. If so, we are confident and partly believing the word of God, but we must remember that we have a God who is fully capable, reliable and sufficient, and is worthy of confidence. It is only a person who is confident in God who is able to persevere through trials, persecution and temptation.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For that person, his focus is not on their present suffering or difficulties, but in the certainty of the presence of Christ in his life and this is what leads us to look to the future with conviction and confidence, the crown of life God promises to those who love Him. When we love God, we trust Him, and when we trust Him, we can go through life, facing our problems as if they were solved, because in the eyes of God, our problems and difficulties have been solved.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What are problems for us, for God are actually plans. Our tests are constant and numerous, but you must learn to persevere with such confidence in God, we can live our lives with absolute faith, confidence and certainty that what God has promised, He will fulfill it. Worry and alarm indicates that we are fighting in our own strength against our circumstances and we are trying to live without God. Jesus said, \u00abWhich of you, however much you worry, add a single hour to his life?\u00bb (Matthew 6:27).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00abConsider it all joy\u00bb says Santiago. The person who has truly experienced God knows the blessing that will come at the end and know that he will be provided for in Christ we have everything. In Revelation 2:10, Jesus says, \u00abBe faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life.\u00bb In this life, we are fully blessed and we have all the resources to persevere through the trials and difficulties but beyond that, we must always remember the great and immeasurable blessing we receive when Jesus give us the crown of life, and this refers not as some think that if we are files receive eternal life, this is a prize is just that a crown is called the crown of life and is given to those who have received Jesus as their personal Savior and true to the faith persevere despite difficulties and problems in their lives ..<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, fill me with unwavering faith that allows me to trust You completely through my trials and difficulties. I thank you for being everything I need and the promise of the crown of life.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For reflection: Am I living during my trials and difficulties with an eye toward Christ and the crown of life that he himself has promised to those who love him?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
