15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
إِذْ
إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنَالُوا رُوحَ عُبُودِيَّةٍ يُعِيدُكُمْ إِلَى الْخَوْفِ، بَلْ
نِلْتُمْ رُوحَ بُنُوَّةٍ بِهِ نَصْرُخُ: «أَبَا! أَبَانَا!»
Romans 8:15
The will and
intention of an adoptive family is to love the adoptee and make the child a
complete member of their family.
It is in
this sense that God adopts each one of us when we become ‘born again’ by
accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. The desire of our ‘Abba’ is to
demonstrate His love for the world by enlarging His family.
“Abba’ is in
Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord, I praise You and
glorify You. Thank You God that You have
spiritually adopted me as Your child through Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour.
Help me to gain my greatest sense of control through knowing that Your hand of
providence guides my life. Give me Lord, this unwavering confidence that there
is never a time, a trial, or a temptation when I am outside Your presence.
The
Prophet Isaiah wrote, “In quietness and trust is your strength”. Grant me this
quietness and trust Lord.
God
please set my feet upon a rock, establish my steps and grant me victory over
the most unreasonable situation. Be my strength Father in all that I am facing
and grant me true victory. I pray in Jesus’ mighty name, to Him be the glory both
now and forever.
Amen.
Jesus loves
you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
