How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of
them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more
in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still
with You.
مَا أَثْمَنَ
أَفْكَارَكَ يَااللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَعْظَمَ جُمْلَتَهَا!
إِنْ أَحْصَيْتُهَا زَادَتْ
عَلَى الرَّمْلِ عَدَداً. عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ أَجِدُنِي مَازِلْتُ مَعَكَ.
Psalm
139:17-18
God cares about us and is
constantly thinking of new ways to help us. Our security should lie in Him.
However if my sense of security
lies in my reputation or in the
things I have, my life will be in a constant state of threat and jeopardy that
these possessions may be lost or stolen or devalued. If I’m in the
presence of someone of greater net worth or fame or status, I feel inferior. If
I’m in the presence of someone of lesser net worth or fame or status, I feel
superior. My sense of self-worth constantly fluctuates. I don’t have any
sense of constancy or anchorage or persistent selfhood.
My
trust and self worth should come from Jesus. He has redeemed me and by Grace
accepted to die for me, so that I may be forgiven. I only have to accept His
gift and to know that my self worth is based on being a child of God. I am the
son of the King of kings.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, I thank you for Your abundant blessings. Thank You for thinking of me
today and every day. Thank You for loving me and for doing and planning great
things in my life. Help to connect and understand Your thoughts for my life. I
receive Your love which drives out all fear. Make me new as I meditate on You.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
Jesus
Loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
