对今日诗句的想法
神的行为并非回应当下的情况,而是出于他长久以来的救赎计划。是的,神行过奇妙的事。呼喊“钉他十字架”的暴徒们意念邪恶,然而神却使用他们的恶念成就了先知的救赎预言。神全然信实,行奇妙的事。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God's actions are not reactions to current situations, but part of his long-term plan to bring redemption. Yes, he has done marvelous things, both in history and also in our personal histories. God transformed the vile intentions of a mob urged on by evil men and made it into the atoning sacrifice for our sins to display his love, mercy, and grace (Acts 2:22-24; 1 John 2:1-2). He changed the hearts of people who cried "Crucify him!" into people who believed in Jesus, repented of their evil, and were baptized, in faith, at Pentecost (Acts 2:36-41). He turned the ugliness of the cross into an opportunity to fulfill the prophets and redeem us through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. We join Isaiah to say in reverent admiration: "O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."
我的祷告
圣洁的神啊,每天你以新的奇妙之事令我惊奇。然而我内心深处明白,这些对于你并非新事。感谢你使我们的生命充满未知,使我能够渴慕你——永远全新、令人振奋而奇妙。奉我救主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy God, you surprise me with new wonders and new things daily. Yet deep in my heart, dear Father, I know they are not new to you. Thank you for not making life boring or predictable, so I might thirst after you, the only true and living God, forever fresh, new, exciting, and marvelous. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
