تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
يا للروعة! يا لها من رسالة. الله يريدنا ان نكون مثمرين في حياتنا. فهو يريدنا ان نملك اكثر من مجرد معرفة في رؤوسنا، ان نستخدم هذه المعرفة في حياتنا ونكون فعالين ومثمرين بها. ولكن بالنسبة لى، يجب ان ابذل بعض المجهود واحاول ان انمى هذه الصفات. يقول بطرس "حسنا، الله يريدك ان تسعى وتصنع الفارق في حياتك!" انا جاهز! لنبدأ من اليوم!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wow! What a message. God wants us to be productive in our lives. He wants us to have more than just head knowledge; he wants us to put our knowledge to work in our lives and be effective and productive with it. I've got to make a genuine effort to grow in these qualities. While the Holy Spirit is doing God's work of transforming me to become like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18) and produce the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), God wants me to do my part and "make every effort" to grow in these qualities "in increasing measure." God wants these qualities to be readily seen in my life. I'm ready; how about you? Let's get after those qualities and begin today.
صلاتي
الله القدوس، سوف ابذل مجهود لكى انمو في نعمتك. من فضلك بارك مجهوداتي واستقبلها كتقديري من القلب لحبك لي عندما كنت غير محبوب وافتدائك لي عندما كنت تائه. اريد ان اكون مثمر في حياتي مع يسوع بمجدك، باسمه اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy God, we are committed to "making every effort" to grow into your character. Please bless our efforts and receive them as our heartfelt expression of appreciation for your love for us, even when we were undeserving of your grace. You loved and moved to redeem us when we were "helpless," "ungodly," "sinners," and your "enemies."* We thank you for such loving grace and commit to being productive in our lives of faith so we can bring glory to you. We are determined to live for the praise of the glory of your grace,** in the name of Jesus. Amen.
* Romans 5:6-10.
** Ephesians 1:6, 12, 14.
