تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
عوضا عن رؤية هذا كطريقة لتحقيق امانينا، فلنراها كما هى حقا — دعوة للسعى وراء علاقة حب مع الله فوق كل شئ اخر. فى ايجاده، سوف نجد ان اولوياتنا قد رتبت بشكل صحيح وسوف تضبط قلوبنا لتعرف ما هو حقا قيم وما هو غير ذلك. وعندها سوف نجد ان ما لدينا في الرب هو اعظم رغبات قلوبنا.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Rather than seeing this as a way to get our wish list granted, let's see it for what it really is — an invitation to seek a loving, dependent relationship with God above all other things and to find our delight in him. In finding him, in delighting in him, we will find our priorities properly aligned and our hearts tuned to desire what is really valuable and what he longs to give to us. Then we will see that what we have in him is our heart's greatest desire. This is not a promise to get all the stuff we want; it's a promise to find in God all that we need, and then we find our delight in what pleases him.
صلاتي
أبي الكريم الرائع، اعترف لك ان في كثير من الاحيان يمتلئ قلبى باشياء انانية. لكن فى لحظات مثل هذه، يا أبي، ادرك أنك اكثر شيء احتاجه وان ارادتك هى رغبة و شهوة قلبى. من فضلك اشعل روحك بى لكى ارى من خلال اى خداع انانى قد يسرق منى وجودك اولا فى حياتى. سامحنى عندما اكون تافه، اناني وسطحى. دعنى اعرفك قدر الامكان بالنسبة لبشرى، ليس لكى اكون كامل، بل لأمجدك. بنعمتك وفي اسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Awesome and Gracious Father, we confess to you that too often our hearts are full of selfish desires. Today, however, we recognize, dear Father, that you are the one we most need, and your will is what our hearts most desire. Please kindle your Spirit in us so that we can see through any selfish deception that would rob us of having you first in our lives. Please forgive us for the times we were petty, selfish, and shallow. May we know you as much as possible, as mortals can know you, not so that we may have our selfish desires fulfilled, but so that you may be honored in what we seek, and we find our delight in what you bring. Because of your grace, and in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
