تأملات فى آيــة اليوم...
لا يحتاج الحكماء أن يثبتوا حكمتهم عن طريق إهانة الآخرين والتقليل منهم. لكن يدلاً من ذلك، يصمتون ويتركون حياتهم تتحدث عما هو جيد، ومشرف، وصالح، وحقيقي. فى عالم ساخرو ناقد وفى مجتمع منجذب نحو الشخص الذي يستطيع إهانة الناس و التقليل منهم سريعاً، نحن مدعوين لنجلب البركة بكلماتنا (أفسس 29:4).
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wise folks don't have to prove their wisdom by disrespecting others and putting them down while belittling them. Instead, godly and wise people hold their tongues and let their lives speak what is good, honorable, righteous, loving, and genuine. Our world is full of cynical sarcasm. Our culture overly rewards people who are quick with belittling and unwholesome quips — those quick and razor-sharp "put-downs" so often in TV sit-coms and on social media. As people of God and followers of Jesus, we are called to redeem others through what we say and bring a blessing with our words (Ephesians 4:29).
صلاتي
أبي القدوس، اعطني الحكمة فى حديثي ليكون بركة للآخرين ومصدر تمجيد لك. في اسم يسوع اصلى. آمين.
My Prayer...
Holy Father, I ask for your wisdom, patience, and kindness so I can use my speech to bless others and praise you. Please, Father, pour the Holy Spirit into my heart in a fresh way when I am tempted to use my words to hurt, belittle, and insult others. I don't want to do those things, so I ask for the Spirit's help. In Jesus' name, I ask for your help to be more gracious and loving as I speak with others. Amen.
