July 5 Devotion - In The Son, not under the Sun

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled;      And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

ثم التفت انا الى كل اعمالي التي عملتها يداي والى التعب الذي تعبته في عمله فاذا الكل باطل وقبض الريح ولا منفعة تحت الشمس

. Ecclesiastes 2:11

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

 قال له يسوع

انا هو الطريق والحق والحياة .ليس احد يأتي الى الآب الا بي

 John 14:6

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 for me. Lord, please give me wisdom to learn from Solomon who ‘became great and excelled more than all who were before him’, yet found everything under the sun to be ‘vanity and grasping for the wind’. Change my focus O’Lord from earthly glory to spiritual glory IN Your Son Jesus. I come to You Father in the name of Your Son Jesus acknowledging, declaring and confessing that Jesus is The way, The truth, and The life and that no one can come to You Father except through Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour. Strengthen me Jesus and teach me to be content under all circumstances as You taught the Apostle Paul and to be able to face any situation with the belief that ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion before all time, now, and forever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
