Paul’s Ponders I am not a stickler for detail. I am more an idea guy that leaves the “how to“ in the hands of others. Ask Josh Steward or others who worked with me during VBS. “This is what I want… Figure it out.” The other day I was looking over an item and it hit me that something was missing. I asked Debbie about it and it turned out to be very important. I don’t know why I asked, God opened my eyes to a situation that I would not have noticed. I often ask God to open my eyes so that I may see people and situations the way he does. I pray that God will open my eyes to opportunities to serve him better. He has and he does. And sometimes he will open my eyes to avert a personal disaster as he did this week. This is a prayer from Ephesians chapter 1 that I often pray for myself and for others: 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

May God open our eyes.

Aveces Pienso Filipenses 2:3-5 Vivimos en un tiempo donde tal párese ser que ya no importan los demás. Vivimos en un mundo donde el aprecio excesivo por uno mismo crece cada día más, orgullo y vanidad desmedida que poquito a poco va terminando con nuestra existencia, envanecimiento tonto de desear ser admirado por todos sin importar nuestros méritos, siempre pensando en cómo te miras y como te admiran las demás personas, aunque al final del día en la triste soledad de tu silencio resuena en eco resonante tu sonrisa fingida sabes que necesitas de una palabra pero te das valor creyendo que un día más en tu arrogancia va a solucionar el problema. Si Cristo les ha dado a ustedes poder para animar a los demás, y si el amor que ustedes tienen los lleva a consolar a otros, y si todos ustedes tienen el mismo Espíritu y son compasivos, les pido que vivan en armonía y que se amen unos a otros. 3 No sean egoístas; no traten de impresionar a nadie. Sean humildes, es decir, considerando a los demás como mejores que ustedes. 4 No se ocupen solo de sus propios intereses, sino también procuren interesarse en los demás. 5 Tengan la misma actitud que tuvo Cristo Jesús: “Tomen Mi yugo sobre ustedes y aprendan de Mí, que Yo soy manso y humilde de corazón, y hallaran descanso para sus almas. Primero tu, y después yo que mi deseo fue, es y será que seas verdaderamente feliz. Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto......
