Tuesday July 5 Boundaries Does humanity’s dominion over “all the earth” ( Gen. 1:26 ) indicate that there are no boundaries to our dominion? Biblical history indicates that dominion (which can also be understood as “stewardship”) must have boundaries. For example, God told Adam that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was off-limits (see Gen. 2:15–17 ). The first sin was, then, in the context of stewardship. Adam and Eve overstepped the boundaries that God had set on their dominion. Creation is still suffering from that overstepping of boundaries (see Rom. 8:20–22 ). Read Exodus 20:1–17 . What kinds of “boundaries” are set there for us in God’s law? What does the law tell us about the limits of human dominion? Throughout human history (for example, Pharaoh in Exodus 1–14; Herod in Matthew 2) to the end of time (see Revelation 13), domineering people controlled by Satan are notorious for attempting to dominate that over which they have no rightf...
Devocional para Adultos 07 de Septiembre del 2016 Listos para debutar - 2 «Entonces los que se habían reunido le preguntaron, diciendo: “Señor, ¿restaurarás el reino a Israel en este tiempo?”. Les dijo: “No os toca a vosotros saber los tiempos o las ocasiones que el Padre puso en su sola potestad; pero recibiréis poder cuando haya venido sobre vosotros el Espíritu Santo, y me seréis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaria y hasta lo último de la tierra”». Hechos 1: 6-8. ¿QUÉ PREGUNTA TAN «ADVENTISTA»! «¿Es este el fin?». Pero, ¡qué respuesta tan «poco adventista»! «No se preocupen por ello: ¡tienen mucho trabajo que hacer!». Jesús es meridiano. La necesidad más apremiante de sus discípulos no es que conozcan la fecha de su regreso, sino que reclamen la promesa de su Espíritu. Porque «recibiréis poder [griego dynamis, como en “dinamita”] cuando haya venido sobre vosotros el Espíritu Santo, y me seréis testigos [griego martys, “mártir”, uno que da testimonio a través de ...
Friday July 22 Further Thought: Read Jeremiah 22:1-16 ; Ezekiel 16:49 ; Zechariah 7:9-10 . Read Ellen G. White Comments, pp. 1165, 1166, in The SDA Bible Commentary , vol. 4 ; “God’s Design in Our Sanitariums,” pp. 227, 228, in Testimonies for the Church , vol. 6 . “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” ( Mic. 6:8, NIV ) . How much clearer could the Lord be in regard to what He asks of His people? God has shown us what is “good,” and this “good” is the same word used again and again in Genesis 1:1-31 , referring to the pre-Fall Creation. Thus, implicitly we are pointed back to the ideal, to what God originally had for us and, ultimately, what He will restore to us after Jesus returns. The phrase translated “require of you” could also be (and perhaps more accurately) translated as “seek from you.” That is, what does God “seek fr...
