ESCRITURA:
«Teniendo buena conciencia, para que en lo que murmuran de vosotros como de malhechores, sean avergonzados los que calumnian vuestra buena conducta en Cristo» (1 Pedro 3:16).
TESORO BÍBLICO:
¿Alguna vez ha sido criticado? ¿O tal vez culpado por algo que usted no hizo? ¿Ha sido difamado injustamente? ¡Pues no está solo! Jesús fue el blanco de crítica maligna y de tremendamente injusta difamación en su día. ¿Le preocupó a Él eso? No. Ni usted debe preocuparse cuando otros hablen falsamente de usted. Deje eso en manos del Señor. El autor y pastor Peter Lord dijo un día: «Cuando alguien dice algo malo acerca de mí, yo sólo digo: ¡Gracias a Dios que no saben nada más!». Jesús dijo: «Cuando les critiquen, empujen esa carga hacia Mí. Yo les entiendo y estoy a cargo de la situación, sólo confíen en Mí».
PUNTO DE ACCIÓN:
Levante sus manos como un gesto de entrega a Dios de todas esas personas que le han criticado, juzgado y difamado a través de los años. Pídale a Dios que les perdone, y que le dé a usted la gracia y fortaleza para perdonarlas y amarlas.
Bendiciones familia.
True Humility Displays Itself Through Service
By Adrian Rogers, Sep 6, 2024
PRAY OVER THIS:
“And when they had come to him, he said to them: ‘You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.’”...
(Acts 20:18-21)
PONDER THIS:
Are you going to be missed when you leave? We all leave one day. You may move out of your city, or you’ll go by death, but everyone is going. When you go, what difference will it make? Is your life going to have any kind of an impact?
Don't get the idea that humility means not loving yourself. The Bible says we’re to love others as we love ourselves (Mark 12:31). And if you don't love you, you don't know how to love me. Humility is an honest estimation of yourself that says what God says about you and results primarily in serving. A humble person is a person who serves others. When God measures a person’s life, He does not measure by how many servants the person has, but by how many others the person serves. There are many whose lives are going to amount to little more than a zero with the edges trimmed off because they’ve never learned to serve. You need to find a place of service in your church, community, or home, and you need to request, “Lord God, make me a servant.” Unless you’re a servant you’re not going to be truly missed when you are gone.
Who is an example of humility in your life?
What place does service have in your life?
PRACTICE THIS:
Write out the different areas you serve right now and consider how you could grow in serving others.
