تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
فى ايام ميلاد يسوع كان هناك الكثير من البسطاء الذين كانوا ينتظرون الخلاص. كانوا يعلمون ان الفداء لن يتم بدون ثمن باهظ. هذا الثمن الباهظ ليس لهم فقط بل و لله ايضا. لقد اشار اشعياء الى ذلك فى نشيد الخدام (اش 53). لقد اختبروا ذلك فى تاريخهم. لذلك فقد اعترفوا انهم لن يستطيعوا ان يخلصوا انفسهم لأنهم ليس لديهم القوة الكافية لذلك. هذه القوة يجب ان تأتى من الله و تمنح لكل من انتظر خلاص الرب و تغييره لحياتهم. يجب ان يطلبوا ذلك من الله. يجب ان يطلبوا وجهه و حضوره فى حياتهم اليومية. و نحن ايضا يجب ان نفعل ذلك.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
In the days of Jesus' birth, a group of devout and lowly people called the "pious poor" were looking for God's redemption of his people. We meet some of them in the first two chapters of Luke's Gospel — Zechariah and Elizabeth, Anna and Simeon, along with Mary and Joseph. They knew that salvation could not, and would not, come without great cost — not just to themselves, but also to God. Isaiah had prophesied about this redemption in his Servant Songs (Isaiah 53:1-12). They had experienced suffering and hardship in their own history. So with honest hearts, they confessed that they didn't have the power to bring their own salvation and deliverance. This power had to come from their almighty God. They believed God would release this power for the powerless, yet righteous and devout, people seeking God's transformation in their lives and waiting for God to console and redeem Israel (Luke 2:25; 24:21). They knew they needed to ask God for it! They knew to seek his face and find his presence in their daily lives. So we join them as we cry out, "Restore us, O Lord God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved."
صلاتي
يا رب اله السماوات و الارض و سيد كل الخليقة اسبحك. اسبحك من اجل قوتك و عظمتك. اسبحك من اجل حكمتك و ابداعك. اسبحك من اجل رحمتك و برك. اسبحك لانك وحدك تستحق التسبيح. يا الله انت وحدك الذي يقدر ان يخلصنى. من فضلك انر بوجهك على. من فضلك اجعل حضورك واضحا فى حياتى. آمين.
My Prayer...
O Lord, God of heaven and earth, Ruler of all creation, I praise you. I praise you for your power and glory. I praise you for your wisdom and creativity. I praise you for your mercy and righteousness. I praise you, because you alone are worthy of my praise. O Lord, you alone can bring me full salvation to me, to the lost, and to my brothers and sisters in need. Please, shine your face upon me. Please, make your presence known in our lives and shine your face upon us. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
