"La invención de Morel", de Adolfo Bioy Casares

[walkswithmyfather]

“I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King! and I’ll bless your name into eternity. I’ll bless you every day, and keep it up from now to eternity. God is magnificent; he can never be praised enough. There are no boundaries to his greatness. Generation after generation stands in awe of your work; each one tells stories of your mighty acts. Your beauty and splendor have everyone talking; I compose songs on your wonders. Your marvelous doings are headline news; I could write a book full of the details of your greatness. The fame of your goodness spreads across the country; your righteousness is on everyone’s lips.” —Psalm 145:1‭-‬7 (MSG)

“Your King” by Nicky Gumbel - Bible in One Year Devotional

“The birth of Prince George of Cambridge in July 2013 brought great joy and celebration. He is the son of a future king of England and is himself third in line of succession to the British throne. The United Kingdom has been ruled by kings and queens for centuries, and our royal family are an important part of our national life. However, most modern monarchs only have limited power. By contrast, in the ancient world, kingship was much more all-encompassing, and the king was the final authority in all aspects of national affairs. In our Old Testament passage, we read of the reigns of the kings of Persia and Israel. But alongside this, each of our passages also points us to an even greater King – God.

The central theme in the teaching of Jesus was the kingdom of God. It not only refers to kingdom in a political or geographical sense, but it also conveys the notion of activity – the activity of ruling and reigning. The kingdom of God means ‘the rule and reign of God’.

Psalm 145:1–7: Worship your King: ‘O my King!’ David exclaims, ‘I’ll bless your name into eternity’ (v.1, MSG). David worships the King of the universe: ‘I lift you high in praise’ (v.1, MSG). He goes on to speak of the ‘splendour of your majesty’ (v.5a) and, ‘the glory of your kingdom’ (v.11), ‘the glorious splendour of your kingdom’ (v.12) and ‘your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations’ (v.13).

He worships his King every day: ‘Every day I will praise you’ (v.2a), and says he is going to keep on worshipping ‘from now to eternity’ (v.2, MSG). He can ‘never be praised enough’ (v.3, MSG). David writes songs of worship: ‘I compose songs on your wonders’ (v.5, MSG).

Praise God for his power and rule, and for his ‘abundant goodness and… righteousness’ (v.7). The joy and exultation of the Psalms stem from these twin truths that God is King and God is good. You can trust that he is in control – and that is good news!

“Lord, you reign. You are King of the entire universe. You are worthy of my praise. Every day I will praise you.”

«(…) Adolfo Bioy Casares me contó el caso de un peón de estancia, a quien tenían que hacerle una operación inmediata, de urgencia, y muy dolorosa. Le explicaron que iba a sentir mucho dolor, hasta le ofrecieron un pañuelo para que él lo mordiera mientras estaban operándolo, y entonces este hombre dijo, sin saber que estaba diciendo una frase digna de los estoicos, una frase de Séneca: “Del dolor me encargo yo”.»
