Daily Verse (February 17)

Humility Cures Worldliness

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” (James 4: 7-10)

"فاخضعوا للّه.قاوموا ابليس فيهرب منكم. اقتربوا الى الله فيقترب اليكم.نقوا ايديكم ايها الخطاة وطهروا قلوبكم يا ذوي الرأيين. اكتئبوا ونوحوا وابكوا.ليتحول ضحككم الى نوح وفرحكم الى غم. اتضعوا قدام الرب فيرفعكم"

 (يعقوب 4: 7-10)

Open, O Lord, unto me Your door which is full of mercies,
As You did open it unto the adulteress woman.
Accept from me the tears which I am offering,
And grant me the forgiveness of sins.
I have taken You, O Water of Life, on my journey,
So that I do not ask for water from Abraham;
For I have heard the story of the rich man,
Who asked for water on the tip of his finger.
