Estos pactos son decretos inalterables que definen el mover de la historia. Algunas de las promesas son positivas y aseguran bendiciones. Otras son negativas y garantizan que habr consecuencias. Pero todas ellas obligan. Este mundo sufre de una especie de temblores. Todo lo que hay en esta tierra est desapareciendo lentamente. Lo puede sentir Sus finanzas, su trabajo, su familia, sus xitos personales; todas esas cosas son temporales.Nos es fcil poner nuestra esperanza en ellas, pero basta un cambio no planificado para que todas se vengan abajo. Max le ofrece un reemplazo para las bases de su vida. Un reemplazo que con toda seguridad puede resistir todas las tormentas. "Su divino poder, al darnos el conocimiento de aquel que nos llam por su propia gloria y excelencia, nos ha concedido todas las cosas que necesitamos para vivir como Dios manda. As Dios nos ha entregado sus preciosas y magnficas promesas para que ustedes, luego de escapar de la corrupcin que hay en el mundo debido a los malos deseos, lleguen a tener parte en la naturaleza divina." (2 Peter 1:3-4) Por medio de esas preciosas y magnficas promesas es como nosotros participamos en la naturaleza divina de Dios. Pavimentan como piedras doradas la senda hacia el mundo de Dios. Son fuertes peascos que forman el puente sobre el cual caminamos desde nuestro pecado hacia la salvacin. No son solamente grandes, sino que son muy grandes, y no son solamente valiosas, sino que son "preciosas". Colgrselas alrededor del cuello es adornarse con las joyas ms finas del universo.Explora esas promesas infinitas de la Palabra de Dios y edifica sobre ellas tu vida.
About the Author
In just under two decades of writing, Max Lucado has accomplished more than most writers hope for in a lifetime. Most of his books have appeared on one or more best seller lists, including those published by the "New York Times," "USA Today," "Publishers Weekly," and the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) . Aside from hardcover books, Lucado's writings have also been published as children's books, videos, CD-ROMs, DVDs, music CDs, mass paperback booklets, apparel, giftware, bookmarks, calendars, study Bibles, workbooks, curricula, and plush products. In spring 2003, Hallmark/Dayspring Cards launched a new gift card line featuring excerpts from Lucado's writings--and has already sold more than one million cards. All this success has drawn more than a little attention to a previously low-profile Texas author and minister. Lucado has been featured in a wide range of media, including "USA Today," "Larry King Live," and "NBC Nightly News." He has spoken at the National Prayer Breakfast before the President of the United States. He has traveled with internationally renowned musicians as a special speaker on their music tours, such as the highly successful "Come Together & Worship Tour" (sponsored by Chevrolet) with Grammy Award-winning artists Michael W. Smith and Third Day. Journey to the TopLucado was born in 1955 in San Angelo, Texas, and raised in Andrews, Texas, the youngest of four children. His father was an Exxon oil field mechanic who, Lucado remembers, always smelled of grease cleaner. "It makes it easy for me to see a God who is loving and kind--because my dad was," he says. His mother was a nurse who grew up working in the cotton fields. Lucado went through a period of rebellion against his parents' values and their God during his teens and into college. But it wasn't long before he found himself drawn back to his roots, back to God. He married, spent time serving as a missionary in Brazil, and returned to the States, where he began working as a church minister and writing on the side. Secret to Success From all accounts, Max Lucado is not a man consumed by sales, awards, and achievements. He often turns down media interviews since they impede on family and ministry commitments. He spends the bulk of his week serving as senior minister at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas. And he is truly surprised by his own success--more impressed by his one-in-a-million wife and three amazing daughters than by his successful writing career.
