How precious also are Your thoughts
to me, O God!
How great is the sum of
them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand
When I awake, I am still
with You.
مَا أَثْمَنَ
أَفْكَارَكَ يَااللهُ عِنْدِي! مَا أَعْظَمَ جُمْلَتَهَا!
إِنْ
أَحْصَيْتُهَا زَادَتْ عَلَى الرَّمْلِ عَدَداً. عِنْدَمَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ أَجِدُنِي
مَازِلْتُ مَعَكَ.
Psalm 139:17-18
God cares about us and is constantly thinking of new
ways to help us. Our security should lie in Him.
However, if my sense of security lies in my reputation or in the things I have, my life will be in a constant state of threat and jeopardy that these possessions may be lost, stolen, or devalued. If I’m in the presence of someone of greater net worth or fame or status, I feel inferior. If I’m in the presence of someone of lesser net worth or fame or status, I feel superior. My sense of self-worth constantly fluctuates. I don’t have any sense of constancy or anchorage or persistent selfhood.
Our trust and self-worth should come from Jesus. He has redeemed us and by Grace accepted to die for us, so that we may be forgiven. We only have to accept His gift and to know that our self-worth is based on being children of God. May we never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, I thank you for Your abundant blessings. Thank You for
thinking of me today and every day. Thank You for loving me and for doing and
planning great things in my life. Help to connect and understand Your thoughts
for my life. I receive Your love which drives out all fear. Make me new as I
meditate on You. Help me realize that my security comes from being a child of
God which I inherited through Your grace. Jesus’ atoning death for me on the
Cross reconciled me to You . In Jesus' name I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the
power, the dominion, the majesty, and the blessings forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus Loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
