If We Ask

1 John 5:11-15 (NKJV)
11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
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.

Somos Los Ovejas De Su Prado

Salmos 100:1-5 (NVI)
1 Aclamad alegres al Señor, habitantes de toda la tierra; 
2 adorad al Señor con regocijo. Presentaos ante él con cánticos de júbilo. 
3 Reconoced que el Señor es Dios; él nos hizo, y somos suyos. Somos su pueblo, ovejas de su prado. 
4 Entrad por sus puertas con acción de gracias; venid a sus atrios con himnos de alabanza; dadle gracias, alabad su nombre . 
5 Porque el Señor es bueno y su gran amor es eterno; su fidelidad permanece para siempre.

We Are The Sheep Of His Pasture

Psalms 100:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord , all you lands! 
2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. 
3 Know that the Lord , He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 
5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

El Poder de La Lengua

Proverbios 18:4, 6-8, 13, 21 NVI
4 Las palabras del hombre son aguas profundas, arroyo de aguas vivas, fuente de sabiduría.

6 Los labios del necio son causa de contienda; su boca incita a la riña.
7 La boca del necio es su perdición; sus labios son para él una trampa mortal.
8 Los chismes son deliciosos manjares; penetran hasta lo más íntimo del ser.

13 Es necio y vergonzoso responder antes de escuchar.

21 En la lengua hay poder de vida y muerte; quienes la aman comerán de su fruto.

The Power Of The Tongue

Proverbs 18:4, 6-8, 13, 21 NKJV
4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

6 A fool’s lips enter into contention, And his mouth calls for blows.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.
8 The words of a talebearer are like tasty trifles, And they go down into the inmost body.

13 He who answers a matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Proverbs 31:25-31
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord , she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Feliz Día de la Madre!

Proverbios 31:25-31
25 Se reviste de fuerza y dignidad, y afronta segura el porvenir.
26 Cuando habla, lo hace con sabiduría; cuando instruye, lo hace con amor.
27 Está atenta a la marcha de su hogar, y el pan que come no es fruto del ocio.
28 Sus hijos se levantan y la felicitan; también su esposo la alaba:
29 «Muchas mujeres han realizado proezas, pero tú las superas a todas».
30 Engañoso es el encanto y pasajera la belleza; la mujer que teme al Señor es digna de alabanza.
31 ¡Sean reconocidos sus logros, y públicamente alabadas sus obras!

El Primer Mandamiento Con Promesa

Efesios 6:1-8 (NVI)
1 Hijos, obedezcan en el Señor a sus padres, porque esto es justo.
2 Honra a tu padre y a tu madre —que es el primer mandamiento con promesa—
3 para que te vaya bien y disfrutes de una larga vida en la tierra».
4 Y ustedes, padres, no hagan enojar a sus hijos, sino críenlos según la disciplina e instrucción del Señor.
5 Esclavos, obedezcan a sus amos terrenales con respeto y temor, y con integridad de corazón, como a Cristo.
6 No lo hagan solo cuando los estén mirando, como los que quieren ganarse el favor humano, sino como esclavos de Cristo, haciendo de todo corazón la voluntad de Dios.
7 Sirvan de buena gana, como quien sirve al Señor y no a los hombres,
8 sabiendo que el Señor recompensará a cada uno por el bien que haya hecho, sea esclavo o sea libre.

The First Commandment With Promise

Ephesians 6:1-8 (NKJV)
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
2 Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise:
3 that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
5 Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;
6 not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,
7 with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.
