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 any
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 remind ourselves 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, 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 Lord from
discouragement, worry, and self-sufficiency. Lord please help me to focus on
You instead of my circumstances. 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. Father God, I thank You that You love me and that Your
love is unfailing, steadfast, deep, and everlasting. Thank You Father for Your
abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. 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
