We work [for our living], working
hard with our own hands. When we are reviled (abused; attacked with evil
words) and verbally abused, we bless. When we are persecuted,
we take it patiently and endure.
ونتعب
عاملين بايدينا.نشتم فنبارك.نضطهد فنحتمل.
1 Corinthians 4:12 AMP
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard
thing; it is the ability to turn it into glory.
We have all probably discovered that the hardest times
to remember the basic truths of God’s Word are during periods of pain and/or
difficulty.
With the right attitude we can make it a habit to view
every situation through the filter of God’s perspective.
And we know [with great confidence]
that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together
[as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according
to His plan and purpose
ونحن
نعلم ان كل الاشياء تعمل معا للخير للذين يحبون الله الذين هم مدعوون حسب قصده.
Romans 8:28 AMP
If we believe that God will bring good out of the
situation somehow, then pessimistic thinking will not find a permanent home in
our hearts. When we adopt the right attitude all the time, our emotions will
gradually align with our beliefs.
Let us remember that the Lord will give us His
perspective if we ask Him to.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your unfailing, deep,
everlasting, and inseparable love for me. God I praise You, revere You, worship You, I stand in awe of You, I lift
You up on high and glorify Your Holy Name.
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 have Your
divine perspective and the right attitude. Keep me away from discouragement,
worry, and self-sufficiency. Lord please help me to focus on You instead of my
circumstances, don’t let me lose faith in humanity because of the mistreatment,
lies and abuse of some. I know that when I am hurting and having a pity party
for myself, it does not mean that You do not care about me. Your promises are
true Lord, and I am confident that You will change all my circumstances to work
for Your glory and my good, joy and peace. I will rejoice in The Lord. In the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I pray. To Jesus 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
