تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
نحن نعلم ان البر والقداسة الحقيقية صفات يمتلكها بكمال الله وحده. الله يستخدم روحه ليجعل هذه الصفات حقيقة نامية فى حياتنا عندما نترك له القيادة. بالأمس التزمنا ان ندع الروح تعمل على نضوجنا فى مناطق ضعفنا. لنأخد خمس او عشر دقائق اضافية اليوم، ونفتح كلمة الله، ونقرأ عدة آيات من الانجيل تنطبق على نقاط ضعفنا. ثم فلنسأل روح الله ان تحولنا فى هذه المناطق لنكون مثل المسيح اكثر!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We have chosen our verses for this year to reflect the date. Today is May 23, so we found a passage that was from chapter 5 and verse 23, or 5:23. This way of choosing our "Verse of the Day" challenges us and blesses us to find verses we might otherwise overlook. "Today's Verse" is a blessing from the apostle Paul that we do not want to overlook!
We know that true righteousness and holiness are perfectly possessed by only God. Amazingly, God uses his Spirit to make those qualities a growing reality in our lives when we yield to his leadership. Yesterday, we committed to let the Spirit work on maturing us in our weakest areas. Let's take an extra five or ten minutes sometime today, open God's Word, and read several passages of Scripture that apply to the character qualities we want to acquire — 2 Peter 1:2-11 is an excellent passage to help us. Let's ask God's Spirit to grow us in these areas to be more like Christ!
صلاتي
يا آبانا، فليأتى يسوع قريبا بنعمة ومجد! فلأكون بلا لوم فى ذلك اليوم ليس بقوتى ومجهودى، بل بقوتك المحولة التى تعمل بى. باسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Dear Father, may Jesus come soon with grace and glory! May I be found blameless on that day, beloved Father, not by my power and effort but because of your transforming power at work within me. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
