Unless
the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards
stand watch in vain.
إِنْ لَمْ يَبْنِ الرَّبُّ الْبَيْتَ، فَبَاطِلاً
يَتْعَبُ الْبَنَّاؤُونَ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَحْرُسِ الرَّبُّ الْمَدِينَةَ فَبَاطِلاً
يَسْهَرُ الْحَارِسُ.
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you
remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can
do nothing.
أَنَا الْكَرْمَةُ وَأَنْتُمُ الأَغْصَانُ. مَنْ يَثْبُتُ فِيَّ
وَأَنَا فِيهِ، فَذَاكَ يُنْتِجُ ثَمَراً كَثِيراً. فَإِنَّكُمْ بِمَعْزِلٍ
عَنِّي لاَ تَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا شَيْئاً.
John 15:5
God runs everything in our lives. God has planned everyday of the life of each one of us before He created the world. If we preach to non-believers, unless God is there touching their hearts we are working in vain. The same applies to building anything or working on any project or defending our position we need God to bless our work to achieve the desired results.
Jesus
tells us that He is the vine; we are the branches. Without an attachment
to Him, we would be unable to do anything, including living and breathing.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant
blessings and love. God, I
acknowledge that You are operating ALL according to the counsel of Your own
will. Ephesians 1:11 Help me Lord to acknowledge You
in all my ways so that You direct my paths.
Proverbs 3:6 Lord even if I let my heart to plan my way, but I trust that You
Lord direct my steps. Proverbs 16:9 Jesus I acknowledge that I can do nothing without You please remain in
me and help me to always remain in You. Lord I am blessed that You promised
that You will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go; and You will
guide me with Your eye. Psalm
32:8
In the name of the King of kings and Lord of
lords, in the holy name of Jesus I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the
power, and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
