اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
آغاز سال نو براى بسيارى از كسانيكه من دوستشان ميدارم، زمان تنگى و آزمايش بوده است. شايد اين در مورد شما و عزيزانتان نيز مصداق داشته باشد. دعاى من براى شما و آنها اين است كه آرامش موجود در حضور خدا را دريابيد. شايد حضور او را در شعر معروف "ردّ پا" يا در مزمور ٢٣ بيابيم كه ميفرمايد" گرچه در وادى سايه موت نيز راه روم، از بدى نخواهم ترسيد زيرا تو با من هستى"، در هر صورت بايد دانست كه حضور خدا براى مقابله با هر گونه تشويش جنبه حياتى دارد! خداوند مشتاق است كه با ما باشد، بخصوص در زمانهايى كه ما بيشتر احساس تنهايى ميكنيم. او بما از تجربه تنگى و تنهايى خودش بر روى صليب گفت.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The beginning of the year is a trying time for people I care about. Maybe it's been that way for you or those you love. My prayer for you, and for them, is that they may know the comfort of God's presence. Whether it's the popular little poem "Footprints in the Sand" or the familiar "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me..." (Psalm 23:4 KJV). The presence of the Lord is absolutely vital to us if we are going to stand up for him and stand firm in the face of trial. The Lord does long to be with us, especially in those moments when we feel most alone and abandoned. He told us that by experiencing anguish himself and being alone on the cross. You can lean in, call upon, and have your hope in Jesus because he has been in the places you were hurting and came through to give us a way to God's steadfast presence.
دعای من
خداوندا از تو متشكرم براي اينكه تو نخواستى كه خداى دور از دسترس و در حاشيه اى امن باشى. من ميتوانم بتو اعتماد كنم كه هرگز مرا ترك نخواهى نمود، زيرا تو آمدى و تنهايي، مطرود شدن، و متروك شدن را احساس نمودى. لطفن امروز حس آشكارى از حضورت در زندگيم بمن بده، بوسيله عيسى دعا ميكنم. آمين.
My Prayer...
I am thankful, O God, that you refused to be God from a safe distance. Because you came and felt what it was like to be abandoned, forsaken, and alone in Jesus, I know I can trust that you will never forsake me. Please give me a clearer sense of your presence with me in my life today, however, because I need to feel you close to me in these trying times. I pray through Jesus, and because of his assurance. Amen.
