تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
ان حب الأشياء، وخاصة الأشياء المؤقتة الزائلة، يمكن ان يدخلنا فى مشاكل بالتأكيد. والاسوأ من ذلك، يمكننا ان نعتقد ان هذه الأشياء قد تجعلنا سعداء او تملأ الفراغ فى قلوبنا. لكن اذا وضعنا أملنا واحلامنا فى آبانا، سوف نتعلق بالأبدية وأشد ما نحتاجه سوف يكون دائما معنا!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Love for things, especially temporary ones, can sure get us into trouble. We can begin to assume that these worldly things will make us happy or fill the empty places in our souls. These assumptions soon become cravings. Acting on these lusts, cravings, and pride then drives, enslaves, and addicts us. Not only do these false allures from the evil one leave us unfulfilled, but they also lead us away from the Lord and the life he longs to share with us (John 1:4, 10:10). Only when we truly place our hopes and yearnings in our Abba Father, seeking to know and experience him in our lives, do we find truly satisfying and lasting life (John 17:3).
صلاتي
اعطنى حكمة يا الله لاستثمر فيك وفى الأشياء المهمة. اعترف لك ان عينى وقلبى يتشتتون كثيرا ببريق الأشياء المؤقتة الزائلة.لكن بروحك حرك قلبى ليشتاق لك. في اسم يسوع الغالى اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Please give me wisdom, righteous Father, to see beyond the evil one's false advertising — his mirages of life that entrap and enslave us. I ask for the Spirit's help to fully invest in you and what truly matters. I confess to you that my eyes and my heart are often distracted by the glitzy, temporary "stuff" that appeals to my fleshly cravings, selfish lusts, and egotistical pride. Please stir my heart to yearn for you — to find lasting life in Jesus as the Holy Spirit empowers me to know and experience you. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray and turn my heart fully toward you. Amen.
