اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
اعتماد. آيا ما ميتوانيم به خدا اعتماد كنيم؟ آيا خدا براستى امين و قابل اعتماد است؟ ما گاه آرزو ميكنيم كه ايكاش زمانيكه عيسى بر روى كره زمين راه ميرفت و يا ارميا نبى بى محابا در مورد حقيقت سخت خدا حرف ميزد، زنده بوديم، اما ما بطور خاصى بركت يافته هستيم چون امروز زنده هستيم. ما در پايان جريان بينظير كار خدا ايستاده ايم. ما ميتوانيم نگاهى به تاريخ بيندازيم و خداى خود را بشناسيم كه بطرز عميقى نسبت به قوم خود امين بوده است. ما ميتوانيم با شجاعت به استقبال آينده برويم چون ميدانيم كه خداى ما از قبل آنجاست!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Trust. Can we really trust in God? Is the Lord really faithful? While we may wish we had been alive when Jesus walked the earth or when Jeremiah spoke God's hard truth fearlessly, we are especially blessed to be alive today. We stand at the end of an incredible stream of God's redemptive work and faithfulness to his promises. We can look at history and know him to be profoundly faithful to his people. We see the Father honoring the Son's trust with great power demonstrated in Jesus' resurrection and the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost. This power is available to us through the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8, 2:32-36). This same power is available to us today through the same Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:17-20, 3:14-21). We can launch into the future with boldness because we know God is already there, empowering us to meet him there! This spring of water is God's living stream, Jesus promised us, bubbling up to eternal life (John 7:37-39). His promise to never leave us, abandon us, or forsake us stands, and because God is faithful (Romans 8:32-39; Hebrews 13:5-7), we can stand no matter what comes!
دعای من
اى خداى قدوس، ميدانم كه تو در دسترس هستى! در صبحگاهان، وقت عصر، و در شب هاى بلند ميدانم كه تنها نيستم. تو را ميستايم زيرا تو مرا ميشناسى و در تمام روزهاى عمرم با من خواهى بود. لطفن امروز حضورت را بر من آشكار بساز، من خواهان جلال يافتن تو در گفتار و كردار خود هستم. اينرا در نام خداوند خود، عيسى ميخواهم. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy God, I know you are there! In the morning, in the evening, and during the long nights of temptation and trials, I know I am not alone. Thank you for knowing me and going with me through all my days. Please make your presence known to me this day as I seek to honor you in all I do and say. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I ask this. Amen.
