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
We often
pray for things that we believe are ‘Good’ for us and/or our loved ones. In His
wisdom God has a much broader perspective and 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, and ‘Best’ for us through all
eternity.
The way
God gives us what is ‘Best’ for us is often very different than what we
imagined and the timing may not be what we wanted, but His timing is always the
‘Best’ for us.
Many
times, unfortunately, we choose to go ahead without involving God and do what
we believe is ‘Good’ for us and we miss out on God’s ‘Best’ for our lives. We
do not realize that the ‘Good’ is preventing us from having the ‘Best’. We
need to involve God in all what we do and follow His direction knowing that He
will always give us what is ‘Best’ for us.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and
Your deep and inseparable love for me. God help me to pray for what is ‘Best’
from Your perspective for me and those impacted by what I am praying
for. Help me to have the discernment and wisdom to know what to pray for. Help
me to pray for those attributes that will help me grow in the likeness of Your
Son Jesus Christ, and for the advancement of Your kingdom. I trust that you
will only give me what is ‘Best’ for me, and that your timing is always the
‘Best’. Lord, give me the patience and the wisdom to wait upon Your timing. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords,
in the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory, the majesty, the
power and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Jesus love you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
