وجبـــــــة روحيـــــ(†)ــــــــــة يوميـــــــــة

[Mary Naeem]

بنجيلك واحنا بنقدم روحنا حزننا وفرحنا ده ملك إيديك
ولو يوم محنه جات لنا تجرحنا وعدك يحرسنا وبترعانا ليك

بنجيلك بنسلم القلب اللي إتألم والحزن اللي يعلم جوه في قلوبنا
تشفي إيديك وتداوي وتطيب وتحامي من كل الجروح اللي بتصيبنا

[Mary Naeem]

بيك ربي إحتميت يا معيني وملجأي وصخرة خلاصي
بكمال قلبك رعيت بمهارة الإيدين إنت هديت
مجدي ورافع راسي ترسي وقرن خلاصي
نوري وحصن حياتي هافضل اغني ليك
عيني شايفه إيديك بحنان طول الطريق ماسكه يميني
وف وادي ظل الموت فين الاقي حمايتي غير تحت جناحيك
خير كل الأيام ومراحم جود ونعمة طول حياتي
لمراعي خضرا تقود لمياه الراحة ترشدني إيديك

[Mary Naeem]

Leviticus 19:17

"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him."

Reflection: We should address issues with our brothers directly and honestly, rather than harboring hatred in our hearts.

Examples of Brotherhood

[Mary Naeem]

Genesis 45:4-5


"So Joseph said to his brothers, 'Come near to me, please.' And they came near. And he said, 'I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.'"

Reflection: Joseph's forgiveness and reconciliation with his brothers demonstrate the power of God's providence and the importance of brotherly love.

[Mary Naeem]

Luke 15:32


"

"It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found."


Reflection: The parable of the prodigal son emphasizes the joy and celebration that comes with a brother's repentance and return.

[Mary Naeem]

John 11:23


"Jesus said to her, 'Your brother will rise again.'"

Reflection: Jesus' interactions with Mary and Martha after the death of their brother Lazarus demonstrate His compassion and the hope of resurrection.

Promises for Brothers

[Mary Naeem]

Deuteronomy 33:24


"

"And of Asher he said, 'Most blessed of sons be Asher; let him be the favorite of his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.'"

Reflection: This blessing on Asher speaks of the favor and abundance that can come from healthy brotherly relationships

[Mary Naeem]

Psalm 127:5


"Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate."

Reflection: While not explicitly about brothers, this verse suggests that having many sons (or brothers) is a blessing and source of strength.
The Bible is full of verses that emphasize the importance of family and the support that comes from having siblings. In addition to the verse mentioned, there are many others that speak to the value of familial relationships. For example, there are several bible verses on adultery that warn against the destruction it can cause to not only a marriage, but also to the entire family unit. The strong bonds between brothers and the importance of family unity are recurring themes throughout the Bible.

[Mary Naeem]

Proverbs 17:17


"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

Reflection: Brothers are a source of support and love, especially in times of trouble and adversity.

Warnings and Cautions

[Mary Naeem]

Proverbs 18:19


"

"A brother offended is more unyielding than a strong city, and quarreling is like the bars of a castle."


Reflection: Offenses between brothers can lead to deep-seated bitterness and division that are difficult to overcome.
