تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
نحن نسعى وراء اشياء كثيرة جدا، لكن سعى واحد فقط يجلب الحكمة. نبه بولس الأثينويين ان الله صنعنا لنسعى إليه ونجده (سفر أعمال الرسل :17). ان حكمة سفر الأمثال ترشدنا إلى "معرفة الله" و تمنحنا رهبة تسبيحه و تبجيله كمصدر الحكمة. ان فهم الأولويات، والاحتياجات، والأغراض، والاهداف، والمشاكل والقضايا يمكن أن يحدث فقط عندما ندرك اولا من هو الرب ونعرفه فى حياتنا اليومية.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings true wisdom: a reverent awe and appropriate respect for the holiness and greatness of God. The apostle Paul reminded the Athenians, who always wanted to appear wise, that God made us to seek him, find him, and discover that true wisdom is in him (Acts 17:24-27). The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to knowing God and having deep, reverent awe of him. This is where wisdom begins! This is where true understanding finds its source. We can only understand life's priorities, purposes, goals, and directions when we recognize who the Lord is, walk with him in our day-to-day lives, and live before him with reverence and awe at his greatness and his grace!
صلاتي
يا الله القدوس الصالح الأبدى. اعترف انى اعرفك اقل بكثير مما تعرفنى. لكن امانتك فى حياتى، وقوتك الواضحة عبر التاريخ، ونعمتك المشاركة مع الكثير من خلال صليب المسيح، ووعدك باحضارى إليك يوما ما كل هذا يساعدني فى التحمل و الاستمرار. اريد ان اعرفك لكى تكون حياتى حسب ارادتك — ليس من اجل مجدي او ربحي، بل لتمجيدك، اطلب منك ان تكون ظاهرا فى الاشياء التى افعلها اليوم. في اسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy, majestic, righteous, and eternal God, we confess that we know you so much less than you know us. That also means we have far less wisdom than you do! Still, your faithfulness to us, your power displayed in history, your grace shared with us through the cross of Christ, and your promises to bring us home to you sustain us. We want to know you better. We want to honor you more, so that our lives can be caught up in your will and wisdom — not for our glory or gain, but for your praise. We ask that you make yourself known to us as we reverently approach you with thanksgiving for who you are, what you have done, and what you will do in the future with us. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
