Confidence in Prayer

1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Confianza en La Oración

1 Juan 5:14-15 (NVI)
14 Esta es la confianza que tenemos al acercarnos a Dios: que, si pedimos conforme a su voluntad, él nos oye.
15 Y, si sabemos que Dios oye todas nuestras oraciones, podemos estar seguros de que ya tenemos lo que le hemos pedido.

Watering, Working, Warning

1 Corinthians 3:5-13 (NKJV)
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

Riego, Trabajo, Advertencia

1 Corintios 3:5-13 (NVI)
5 Después de todo, ¿qué es Apolos? ¿Y qué es Pablo? Nada más que servidores por medio de los cuales vosotros llegasteis a creer, según lo que el Señor le asignó a cada uno.
6 Yo sembré, Apolos regó, pero Dios ha dado el crecimiento.
7 Así que no cuenta ni el que siembra ni el que riega, sino solo Dios, quien es el que hace crecer.
8 El que siembra y el que riega están al mismo nivel, aunque cada uno será recompensado según su propio trabajo.
9 En efecto, nosotros somos colaboradores al servicio de Dios; y vosotros sois el campo de cultivo de Dios, sois el edificio de Dios.
10 Según la gracia que Dios me ha dado, yo, como maestro constructor, eché los cimientos, y otro construye sobre ellos. Pero cada uno tenga cuidado de cómo construye,
11 porque nadie puede poner un fundamento diferente del que ya está puesto, que es Jesucristo.
12 Si alguien construye sobre este fundamento, ya sea con oro, plata y piedras preciosas, o con madera, heno y paja,
13 su obra se mostrará tal cual es, pues el día del juicio la dejará al descubierto. El fuego la dará a conocer, y pondrá a prueba la calidad del trabajo de cada uno.

The Lord Hears, Delivers and Redeems

Psalms 34:17-22 (NKJV)
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

El Señor Escucha, Salva y Redime

Salmo 34:17-22 (NVI)
17 Los justos claman, y el Señor los oye;
los libra de todas sus angustias.
18 El Señor está cerca de los quebrantados de corazón,
y salva a los de espíritu abatido.
19 Muchas son las angustias del justo,
pero el Señor lo librará de todas ellas;
20 le protegerá todos los huesos,
y ni uno solo le quebrarán.
21La maldad destruye a los malvados;
serán condenados los enemigos de los justos.
22 El Señor libra a sus siervos;
no serán condenados los que en él confían.

A Great Light

Isaiah 9:2-4 (NKJV)
2 The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation
And increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of Midian.

Una Gran Luz

Isaías 9:2-4 (NVI)
2 El pueblo que andaba en la oscuridad
ha visto una gran luz;
sobre los que vivían en densas tinieblas
la luz ha resplandecido.
3 Tú has hecho que la nación crezca;
has aumentado su alegría.
Y se alegran ellos en tu presencia
como cuando recogen la cosecha,
como cuando reparten el botín.
4 Ciertamente tú has quebrado,
como en la derrota de Madián,
el yugo que los oprimía,
la barra que pesaba sobre sus hombros,
el bastón de mando que los subyugaba.

Glory In The Highest

Luke 19:37-40 (NKJV)
37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 saying: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”
