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 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 finds no permanent home in our
hearts. When we adopt the right attitude, over time, our emotions will
gradually align with the truth. Let us always 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, 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. Lord, please keep me away from discouragement, worry, and self-sufficiency.
Father God, please help me to focus on You instead of my circumstances. I know
that when I am hurting 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. Abba Father,
thank You for Your unfailing, deep, everlasting, and steadfast love for me.
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. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
