تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
نحن هيكل الله! الله يعيش فينا. ما نفعله فى اجسادنا هو جزء من عباتدنا له. نحن مطالبون ليس فقط بالامتناع عن النجاسة، بل ايضا تمجيد الله فى اجسادنا وتمجيد تضحيته التى كانت ثمن شراء قداستنا.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We are God's temple! God lives in us! We are a holy dwelling of the living and almighty God! WOW!!!
We were made Holy by the price Jesus paid to redeem us (1 Peter 1:18-20). So, now what we do in our bodies is part of the worship we give to God just as much as what we do when we get together with other Christians in worship (Romans 12:1-2). We are called to not only abstain from impurity, but we are called to glorify God in our bodies and honor the sacrifice of Jesus by living holy lives each day. This is worship because we are where God lives through his Spirit. Holy living is not a burden, but a way to say "Thank you!" and offer praise to God for what he has done for us and what he has made in us! We are the temple of God in the Holy Spirit!
صلاتي
يا أبى، اعترف لك انى احيانا انسى كم جسدى ثمين لك. مع التقدم فى السن والتحديات الاخرى التى تذكرنى يوميا ان جسدى هو إناء يفسد، اجد فى الامر صعوبة تصديق انى استطيع ان امجدك به. من فضلك، بروحك الساكنة، نشط بي وقار اعمق واعتزاز لوجودك بداخلى. باسم يسوع، من كفر عنى وضحى من اجلى، اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Father, I confess to you that I sometimes lose sight of how precious my body is to you and how important what I do with my body is in giving you thanks and praise. With physical temptations so near, I easily forget that it is a holy temple, a place of honor and worship that I offer to you. With aging and the other challenges that daily remind me that my body is a vessel of decay,* I find it hard to believe that I can glorify you with it. Please, through your indwelling Spirit, quicken me to a deeper reverence and appreciation for your presence in me as you renew my body, your temple, day by day. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
* 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
