I covered the
following on the first devotion in this series:
I believe that I
can experience God’s good and pleasing will for my life when I:
•
Surrender to God
•
Let The Holy Spirit work in me and direct me
•
Clean up (detoxify) my mind
•
Constantly read the Bible and meditate on God’s word
•
Pray without ceasing
•
Get my thoughts, behaviour, and attitude and boundaries aligned with God’s word
In the last
devotions I wrote:

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the
whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours
for food.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «إِنِّي قَدْ
أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ كُلَّ أَصْنَافِ الْبُقُولِ الْمُبْزِرَةِ الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ عَلَى
كُلِّ سَطْحِ الأَرْضِ، وَكُلَّ شَجَرٍ مُثْمِرٍ مُبْزِرٍ، لِتَكُونَ لَكُمْ
طَعَاماً.
Genesis 1:29
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the
service of man, That he may bring forth food from the earth,
أَنْتَ الْمُنْبِتُ عُشْباً لِلْبَهَائِمِ
وَخُضْرَةً لِخِدْمَةِ الإِنْسَانِ، لإِنْتَاجِ خُبْزٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ،
Psalm
104:14
So He said to them, “Are you thus without understanding also? Do
you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his
stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?” 20 And He said, “What comes out of a
man, that defiles a man.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَهَكَذَا أَنْتُمْ
أَيْضاً لاَ تَفْهَمُونَ؟ أَلاَ تُدْرِكُونَ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَا يَدْخُلُ الإِنْسَانَ
مِنَ الْخَارِجِ لاَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يُنَجِّسَهُ،
19
لأَنَّهُ لاَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَلْبِهِ بَلْ إِلَى الْبَطْنِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى
الْخَلاَءِ؟» مِمَّا يَجْعَلُ الأَطْعِمَةَ كُلَّهَا طَاهِرَةً.
20
ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، هُوَ يُنَجِّسُ
الإِنْسَانَ.
Mark 7:18-20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is
in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God
with your bodies.
أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ جَسَدَكُمْ هُوَ
هَيْكَلٌ لِلرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ السَّاكِنِ فِيكُمْ وَالَّذِي هُوَ لَكُمْ مِنَ
اللهِ، وَأَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِلْكاً لأَنْفُسِكُمْ؟
20
لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اشْتُرِيتُمْ بِفِدْيَةٍ. إِذَنْ، مَجِّدُوا اللهَ فِي
أَجْسَادِكُمْ.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
He said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place
and get some rest.”
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «تَعَالَوْا أَنْتُمْ
عَلَى انْفِرَادٍ إِلَى مَكَانٍ خَالٍ، وَاسْتَرِيحُوا قَلِيلاً».
Mark 6:31
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself and meditate on it:
Abba
father, thank You for Your
abundant blessings and inseparable love. Lord, I know that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I ask in the name
of Jesus that You teach me and strengthen me to do Your will in taking care of
it, because it is Your commandment and because You have put all these
commandments out of Your love for me. I know that eating the right food,
exercising, relaxing and praying are actions that will help in achieving Your
commandment of renewing my mind. God
please bring all my thoughts into captivity to
the obedience of Christ and continue to renew my mind in all the ways that help
transform me to Your image. O my soul, you
have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord, my goodness is nothing apart from
You.” Psalm 16:2. I declare Jesus as my
Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the
dominion forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
