Confusion is defined as: A state in which things are
uncertain, unclear, foggy, there is incomplete data and we find it difficult to
make a clear decision.
For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace
وَاللهُ لا يَصنَعُ الفَوضَى بَلِ السَّلامَ.
1 Corinthians 14:33
".....He
will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths...."
فَيُعَلِّمَنَا
طُرُقَهُ، وَنَسْلُكَ فِي سُبُلِهِ،
Isaiah 2:3
I
will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you
and watch over you.
يَقُولُ
الرَّبُّ: أُعَلِّمُكَ وَأُرْشِدُكَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّتِي تَسْلُكُهَا. أَنْصَحُكَ.
عَيْنِي تَرْعَاكَ.
Psalm 32:8
For
the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
لأَنَّ
الرَّبَّ يَهَبُ الْحِكْمَةَ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ تَتَدَفَّقُ الْمَعْرِفَةُ
وَالْفَهْمُ.
Proverbs 2:6
We are currently living in very confusing times
globally brought about by the Covid-19 virus. In all confusing situations we
should ask God first about what He wants us to do versus going to Him last
after we tried to resolve it ourselves or ask others for guidance.
We all face situations where we feel confused and do
not know what to do. I realized that in many cases I still fall into that trap
and my first reaction is to think about what to do myself and to seek counsel
from friends and relatives. I realized a long time ago that I needed to change
that, but old habits do come back. I am constantly relearning the lesson
to change my ways and first go to God and seek His guidance through The Bible,
to pray and meditate on His word, to listen to the prompting of The Holy Spirit
and to only seek the counsel of Godly people. I realize that I need to
change my old ways faster.
Does that apply to you too?
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself and meditate on
it:
Abba Father, I want to change my ways and depend on You totally through
Your Word, the guidance of The Holy Spirit and Your message which You may
inspire true believers to tell me. God please help me whenever I am confused.
Replace my confusion with Your peace and guide me and strengthen me to change
my ways so as to rely on Your wisdom and walk in Your path by following Jesus;
the light of the world; and to receive counsel through the comforter; The Holy
Spirit; whom You sent to me in the name of Jesus.
Thank You Father God for Your
abundant blessings and inseparable love. I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour
and I pray in His Holy Name. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the
dominion before all time, now, and forevermore. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
