Freed!

1 Blessed is the one    whose transgressions are forgiven,    whose sins are covered.2 Blessed is the one    whose sin the Lord does not count against them    and in whose spirit is no deceit. 3 When I kept silent,    my bones wasted away    through my groaning all day long.4 For day and night    your hand was heavy on me;my strength was sapped    as in the heat of summer. 5 Then I acknowledged […]

Come. Listen. Live.

1 “Come, all you who are thirsty,    come to the waters;and you who have no money,    come, buy and eat!Come, buy wine and milk    without money and without cost.2 Why spend money on what is not bread,    and your labor on what does not satisfy?Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,    and you will delight in the richest of fare.3 Give ear […]

Seek God’s face

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;    be merciful to me and answer me.8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”    Your face, Lord, I will seek. Photo by Yermek Sherkhan on Unsplash. Graphic design by Cynthia Friesen Coyle.

Share the blessing

1 When you have entered the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it, 2 take some of the firstfruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land the Lord your God is giving you and put them in a basket. Then go to the place […]

Jesus’ confirmation

28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about […]

No te molestes

1 No te impacientes a causa de los malignos,Ni tengas envidia de los que hacen iniquidad.2 Porque como hierba serán pronto cortados,Y como la hierba verde se secarán. 3 Confía en Jehová, y haz el bien;Y habitarás en la tierra, y te apacentarás de la verdad.

Do not fret

1 Do not fret because of the wicked;    do not be envious of wrongdoers,2 for they will soon fade like the grass    and wither like the green herb. 3 Trust in the Lord and do good;    live in the land and enjoy security. Photo by Fabian Jones on Unsplash. Graphic design by Cynthia Friesen Coyle.

Expectativas

18 Los discípulos de Juan le dieron las nuevas de todas estas cosas. Y llamó Juan a dos de sus discípulos, 19 y los envió a Jesús, para preguntarle: ¿Eres tú el que había de venir, o esperaremos a otro? 20 Cuando, pues, los hombres vinieron a él, dijeron: Juan el Bautista nos ha enviado a ti, para preguntarte: ¿Eres […]

Expectations

18 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. So John summoned two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?” 20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you […]

La verdad

4 El amor es sufrido, es benigno; el amor no tiene envidia, el amor no es jactancioso, no se envanece; 5 no hace nada indebido, no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no guarda rencor; 6 no se goza de la injusticia, mas se goza de la verdad. 7 Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta. Diseño […]

The truth

4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; 6 it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. […]

Jesús es Señor del sábado

1 Aconteció en un día de reposo, que pasando Jesús por los sembrados, sus discípulos arrancaban espigas y comían, restregándolas con las manos. 2 Y algunos de los fariseos les dijeron: ¿Por qué hacéis lo que no es lícito hacer en los días de reposo? 3 Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Ni aun esto habéis leído, lo que hizo David cuando tuvo hambre […]
