Scripture –
And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
"Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
Mark 10:13-15
Empezaron a llevarle niños a Jesús para que los tocara, pero los discípulos reprendían a quienes los llevaban. Cuando Jesús se dio cuenta, se indignó y les dijo: Dejen que los niños vengan a mí, y no se lo impidan, porque el reino de Dios es de quienes son como ellos. Les aseguro que el que no reciba el reino de Dios como un niño, de ninguna manera entrará en él.

Friday's Living Water
Scripture –
And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.
Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.
And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
Mark 4: 37-41
Se desató entonces una fuerte tormenta, y las olas azotaban la barca, tanto que ya comenzaba a inundarse. Jesús, mientras tanto, estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal, así que los discípulos lo despertaron. Maestro! gritaron, no te importa que nos ahoguemos? Él se levantó, reprendió al viento y ordenó al mar: Silencio! Cálmate!
El viento se calmó y todo quedó completamente tranquilo. Por qué tienen tanto miedo? dijo a sus discípulos. Todavía no tienen fe? Ellos estaban espantados y se decían unos a otros:
Quién es éste, que hasta el viento y el mar le obedecen?

This is a terrific responsibility. Is anyone competent to take it on? No— but at least we don't take God's Word, water it down, and then take it to the streets to sell it cheap. We stand in Christ's presence when we speak; God looks us in the face. We get what we say straight from God and say it as honestly as we can.
2 Corinthians 2: 16-17 (The Message)
Para éstos somos olor de muerte que los lleva a la muerte; para aquéllos, olor de vida que los lleva a la vida. ¿Y quién es competente para semejante tarea?

This is a terrific responsibility. Is anyone competent to take it on? No— but at least we don't take God's Word, water it down, and then take it to the streets to sell it cheap. We stand in Christ's presence when we speak; God looks us in the face. We get what we say straight from God and say it as honestly as we can.
2 Corinthians 2: 16-17 (The Message)
Para éstos somos olor de muerte que los lleva a la muerte; para aquéllos, olor de vida que los lleva a la vida. ¿Y quién es competente para semejante tarea? A diferencia de muchos, nosotros no somos de los que trafican con la palabra de Dios. Más bien, hablamos con sinceridad delante de él en Cristo, como enviados de Dios que somos.

Scripture –
How can a young person live a clean life?
By carefully reading the map of your Word.
I'm single-minded in pursuit of you;
don't let me miss the road signs you've posted.
I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart
so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
Be blessed, God;
train me in your ways of wise living.
I'll transfer to my lips
all the counsel that comes from your mouth;
I delight far more in what you tell me about living
than in gathering a pile of riches.
I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you,
I attentively watch how you've done it.
I relish everything you've told me of life,
I won't forget a word of it.
Psalm 119: 9-16 (The Message)
Cómo puede el joven llevar una vida íntegra?
Viviendo conforme a tu palabra.
Yo te busco con todo el corazón;
no dejes que me desvíe de tus mandamientos.
En mi corazón atesoro tus dichos
para no pecar contra ti.
Bendito seas, Señor!
Enséñame tus decretos!
Con mis labios he proclamado
todos los juicios que has emitido.
Me regocijo en el *camino de tus estatutos
más que en todas las riquezas.
En tus preceptos medito,
y pongo mis ojos en tus sendas.
En tus decretos hallo mi deleite,
y jamás olvidaré tu palabra.
