تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
هناك اوقات صعبة تمر فى الحياة. ولا مفر منها. عندئذ يتم امتحان ثقتنا بخلاص الرب وعلاقتنا معه! ان تسبح فى دور العبادة شيء، و أن تسبح عندما يعرضوا منزلك للمزاد، او يخبروك ان عندك مرض سيضعفك على المدى البعيد، او تفقد ابنك ويموت. الايمان لا يمكن ان يأخذ اجازة عندما نطوف فى ضواحى الجحيم والا لن يمكننا ان نجد طريقنا للخروج ابداً. لذلك لا تفقد الايمان. الصبر! ثق ان الله سيقودك للخطوة القادمة. مهما كانت الصعوبة في الوقت الحالي، لا تستسلم لليأس. كن مثل أيوب او إرميا اللذان اشتكا لله، لكن لم يتركوه ابداً. لا تستسلم. المسيح قادم فى مجد ونعمة.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Some tough times come with living. They're inescapable. There can also be even tougher times for those who believe and seek to share Jesus. We call that persecution. That's when our confidence in the Lord's salvation and our relationship with him get tested! It is one thing to sing "it is well with my soul" at the end of a peel-the-paint worship service. It is quite another to be able to sing those words when they auction your house off at the courthouse steps, you are told you have a long-term debilitating illness, you lose a child to death, or you are ridiculed and persecuted for your faith. Faith can't take a holiday when we travel through the suburbs of hell — when times are tough. If we quit then, we'll never find our way out. We must persevere. So don't throw away your steadfastness in faith. Hang on, hang in, persevere! Don't give up. Keep putting one step in front of the other, trusting that God will give you the strength for the next step. No matter how hard it is at the moment, please don't give up to despair. Be like Job or Jeremiah, who both argued and complained to God, but never let go of God. Don't quit. Christ is coming for you with grace and glory. His deliverance awaits!
صلاتي
الله القدوس، اليوم هو يوم جيد. لكن انا مدرك ان بعض الناس الذين احبهم على وشك ان يفقدوا الثقة فى محبتك، ورحمتك، ونعمتك، وسلامك وخلاصك. من فضلك استخدمنى لكى اشجعهم. اطلب من ان تجدد قلوبهم بروحك القدس. اصلى ان تتدخل مباشرة لتغير مجرى الاحداث وتعطيهم الارتياح وتجعل وجودك الكريم معلوما لديهم. باسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy and Almighty God, today is a good day. However, I am deeply aware that some of those I love are close to giving up their confidence in your love, mercy, grace, peace, and deliverance. Please use me to encourage them. Even more, dear Father, I ask that you use your Holy Spirit to renew their hearts. I pray that you intervene directly to change the course of events, give them relief, and make your gracious presence known to them. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
