Mas la senda de los justos es como la luz de la aurora, que va en aumento hasta que el día es perfecto.
—PROVERBIOS 4:18
Las ansias de progreso, sin importar lo que hagamos, forman parte de nuestra naturaleza. Esto incluye el deseo de avanzar espiritualmente para, de forma gradual, ser más parecidos a Jesús. Te aseguro que, si estás estudiando la Palabra de Dios y pasas tiempo con Él, estás creciendo. A veces el cambio es casi imperceptible porque ocurre poco a poco, pero definitivamente, creces.
A Satanás le gusta desmotivarte mostrándote lo mucho que aun te falta, Dios desea en cambio animarte confirmándote que mudas paulatinamente. Mientras sigas siendo diligente, en algún momento llegarás a un punto donde te maravillarás de todo lo que Dios ha hecho en ti. ¡Disfruta del lugar dónde estás hoy!
Oración:
“Padre, gracias por ⁰pcambiarme cada día un poco moldeándome a tu imagen. Deseo acercarme a ti tanto como pueda y confío en que trabajas en mí. Gracias. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén”
MAKING PROGRESS
But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared].
—PROVERBS 4:18 AMPC
Wanting to make progress, no matter what we are doing, is built into our nature. This includes wanting to make spiritual progress in becoming progressively more like Jesus. I want to assure you today that if you are studying God’s Word and spending time with Him, you are growing. Sometimes growth is imperceptible because it occurs a little bit at a time, but it is definitely taking place.
Satan wants to discourage you by having you look at how far you have to go, but God wants to encourage you today by letting you know that you are changing a little bit at a time. As you continue to be diligent, you will reach a point in the future when you will be amazed at what God has done in you. Enjoy where you are today!
Prayer:
“Father, thank You for changing me daily, little by little, into Your image. My desire is to get as close to You as I can, and I trust that You are working In me. Thank You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
