对今日诗句的想法

恨恶——强有力的词。我们决不能恨人,但必须恨恶邪恶。很难战胜的组合,但却至关重要。罪恶是因为恶者——仇恨、谎言与死亡的罪魁。因此,当魔鬼可憎的面目抬头时,让我们勇敢地抵挡撒但和他的诡计。在此过程中,让我们为那些被魔鬼的触角所捆绑的人,即便他们视我们为仇敌。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Hate — what a bold and powerful word. Jesus does not want us to hate people, not even our enemies (Matthew 5:43-48). However, we MUST HATE evil and the evil one. While balancing our hatred of the evil one with our love for others can be challenging, it is absolutely vital. Evil is here because of the evil one — the champion of hate, lies, murder, and death (John 8:44). We can and must daily pray for deliverance from evil and the evil one (Matthew 5:13). So, when evil rears its ugly head, let's be courageous and oppose the evil one and his work. As we resist the evil one, he will flee from us (James 4:7) as we draw near to God and are strengthened by his presence (James 4:8; Hebrews 10:22). Let's choose to be used by God to be redemptive as we pray for those trapped by evil and the evil one's tentacles. In so doing, we are not overcome by evil and the evil one, but we overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).

我的祷告

全能的神啊,愿你使我的心为世间的邪恶而伤痛。愿你赐予我圣洁的判断,使我厌恶违背你旨意和品格的事物。天父啊,正如你因着恩典拯救了我,救赎我脱离了罪的辖制,愿你赐予我勇气去关爱那些被罪恶捆绑的人。奉我救主之名祈求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Almighty God, make my heart pained by the evil in the world around me. Please also give me a holy revulsion to things opposed to your will and character that emanate from the evil one and propagate evil in your world. At the same time, dear Father, I know that you redeemed me by grace and rescued me while I was a captive to sin and the evil one. So, please give me the courage and compassion to care for those in the evil one's embrace and are captive to his evil ways. Please bless me as I try to balance my absolute disdain for the evil one and my love for those who have been hurt and made captive by his evil ways. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray. Amen.
