Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Maintenant je sais pourquoi la justice est si difficile à trouver : il n'y a pas beaucoup de semeurs ! La sagesse céleste est pleine d'actions terrestres sacrificielles. C'est un puissant rappel pour moi que la sagesse n'est pas ce que vous savez mais ce que vous semez !
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Now I know why righteousness is so hard to find these days. We don't have many in our world who are full of heavenly wisdom — if that means being considerate, submitting to others' needs, living with mercy toward those who are different, bearing good fruit, treating others with impartiality, and demonstrating genuine concern for our neighbors. These traits of wisdom are hard to find in our world, probably because they are often associated with weakness. And, while many claim to love peace, so few are willing to make peace and to sow peace into the lives of others. Heavenly wisdom is full of sacrificial earthly action. That's a powerful reminder to me that wisdom is not what we know but what we sow! We don't produce "a harvest of righteousness" by spewing hate and seeking our own way at the expense of others.
Ma Prière...
Père Saint et Sage, merci d'avoir fait preuve de pureté, de paix, de considération, de soumission, de miséricorde, de bons fruits, d'impartialité et de sincérité en Jésus. Je demande le pouvoir et le courage de démontrer ces qualités cette semaine alors que je cherche à vivre comme lui. Au nom de Jésus, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy and Wise Father, thank you for demonstrating purity, peace-making, impartiality, submissiveness, mercy, good fruit, and sincerity in the life of Jesus. I ask for the power and courage to demonstrate these Christlike qualities as I seek to live a more JESUShaped life. In the name of Christ Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
