PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:



(Matthéüs 6:24-32)

“HOU OP OM TE BEKOMMER OOR JULLE DAAGLIKSE LEWE:”

24. “Niemand kan twee base dien nie. Hy sal óf ‘n renons in die een hê, en van die ander een hou; of hy sal aan die ander een lojaal wees, of die ander een gering skat. Om God en die geldgod saam te dien, is onmoontlik.

25. “Daarom sê Ek vir julle: Hou op om julle te bekommer oor julle daaglikse lewe – wat julle sal eet of drink, of oor julle liggame – wat julle sal aantrek. Is die lewe nie belangriker as kos nie? En is ‘n mens se liggaam nie baie belangriker as klere nie?

26. “Hou die voëls wat daar vlieg dop. Hulle saai nie, hulle oes nie, en hulle maak nie in skure bymekaar nie. Dit is onnodig want julle hemelse Vader gee aan hulle, hulle kos. Besef julle dan nie dat julle vir God nog baie kosbaarder is as hulle nie?

27. “Kan al julle bekommernis julle lewe een sekonde langer rek?

28. “En wat klere betref – wat bekommer julle, julle daaroor? Leer hierdie les van die veldlelies, wat so pragtig in die blom staan. Hulle sloof hulle nie af om vir hulle klere te maak nie.

29. “En tog sê Ek vir julle: Selfs Salomo in al sy glorie, was nie so pragtig aangetrek soos een van hulle nie.

30. “As God dan die veldplante, wat vandag daar is, en môre verbrand word, so mooi aantrek, hoeveel te meer sal Hy nie vir julle sorg nie? Is julle geloof dan so klein?

31. “Moet julle dus nie bekommer en vra: ‘Wat sal ons tog eet?’ of ‘Wat sal ons drink?’ of ‘Wat sal ons aantrek,’ nie.

32. “Dit is die ongelowiges wat oor hierdie soort dinge begaan is. Julle hemelse Vader weet tog dat julle dit alles nodig het.”

PEARL FOR EACH

Friday 12 January 2024.

(Matthew 6:24-32)

“DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR LIFE:”

24. “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

25. “Therefore I tell you: Do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not your life more than food, and your body more than clothing?

26. “Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27. “And which of you, by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

28. “And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

29. “yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.

30. “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31. “Therefore, do not be anxious, saying: ‘What shall we eat’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ Or: ‘What shall we wear?’

32. “For the Gentiles seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.”

“JOU OOG IS ‘N LAMP VIR JOU LIGGAAM:”

16. “Wanneer julle vas, moenie soos die skynheiliges ‘n martelaars-houding aanneem nie. Hulle loop met lang gesigte rond, sodat die mense duidelik kan sien dat hulle vas. Ek verseker julle: Dit is al beloning wat hulle ooit sal kry.

17. “Maar wanneer julle vas, versorg jou hare, en was jou gesig.

18. “Dan sal niemand agterkom dat jy vas nie, behalwe jou Vader wat alle geheime ken. En jou Vader wat alle geheime ken, sal jou beloon.

22. “Jou oog is ‘n lamp vir jou liggaam. ‘n Suiwer oog laat die lig instroom, sodat jou binneste geheel en al lig word.

1. “Wees versigtig! Moenie julle praktiese godsdiens in die openbaar beoefen, sodat almal julle bewonder nie. Anders gaan julle, julle beloning by julle hemelse Vader misloop.

2. “Wanneer jy iemand in nood help, moenie ‘n groot okkasie daarvan maak nie. Dis wat die skynheiliges in die sinagoges en op die strate doen, om deur die mense opgehemel te word. Ek verseker julle, dis al beloning wat hulle ooit sal kry.

3. “Maar as jy mense in nood help, doen dit sonder groot vertoon.

4. “So sal jou hulpbetoon geheim bly, en jou Vader wat alle geheime ken, sal jou beloon.

5. “En nou wat die gebed betref: Moenie soos die skynheiliges wees wat daarvan hou om in die sinagoges en op die straathoeke te bid, sodat die mense hulle kan sien nie. Ek verseker julle, dis al beloning wat hulle ooit sal kry.

6. “Wanneer jy bid, gaan na die stilste vertrek wat daar is, en maak die deur agter jou toe, sodat jy daar in jou alleenheid tot jou Vader kan bid. En jou Vader wat alles weet, sal jou beloon.

7. “Wanneer jy bid, moenie met woorde mors soos die ongelowiges nie. Hulle dink hulle stortvloed woorde sal maak dat hulle gebede beantwoord word.

8. “Moenie soos hulle maak nie, want julle Vader weet presies wat julle behoeftes is, selfs nog voordat julle Hom vra!”

1. “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people, in order to be seen by them, for then you have no reward from your Father Who is in heaven.

2. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.

3. “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

4. “so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father Who sees in secret, Will reward you.

5. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly I say to you, they have received their reward.

6. “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door, and pray to your Father Who is in secret. And your Father Who sees in secret, Will reward you.

7. “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their many words.

8. “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask Him.”

47. “And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

35. “As jy sê: ‘By die aarde,’ is dit heilig, omdat die aarde ‘n rusplek vir God se voet is. En as jy sê: ‘By Jerusalem,’ is dit heilig omdat Jerusalem die stad van God, die Groot Koning is.
