As the heavens are higher than the earth, so
are My ways higher than your ways.
9 فَكَمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ
عَنِ الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ ارْتَفَعَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ
أَفْكَارِكُمْ.
ISAIAH 55:9
The
definition of what is ‘good’ changes as we come to Christ and grow into His
likeness. However, God always sees
what is absolutely good for us—things that are good for us now, good for us in
every area of our lives, good for those around us, and good for us through all
eternity. His ways are different than our ways. He gives us only the things
that are truly beneficial for our growth as His children and that are
beneficial for the advancement of His kingdom on this earth.
I am learning to look at my
unmet needs/wants and ask if they something
that God defines as good for my life? I need to pray like Jesus did and end
each prayer by: Not my will but Your will, and
mean it.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep, everlasting and inseparable love. Jesus, help me to pray
for what is good for me and those impacted by what I am praying for. Help to
have the discernment and wisdom to know what to pray for. Help me to pray for
those things that will help me grow in your likeness and for the advancement of
your kingdom. May Your will be done always. LORD, I pray that out of Your
glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my
inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that Christ is my
Lord and Saviour and Jesus may continue to dwell in my heart through faith. God I praise You, glorify You, and lift You up on high. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of
lords, in the Holy Name of Your only
begotten Son Jesus, I pray. To Him be the power,
the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
