对今日诗句的想法
财富,尤其是因贪婪与罪恶而得的财富,毫无持久的价值。这不义之财将败坏人心,并且无法拯救我们脱离最终的死亡。然而公义却是极其珍贵的财富。永生神的公义——通过我们的信心并因着神的恩典赐予我们,远超乎我们道德的极限,且具有救赎我们脱离死亡的大能。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Wealth, especially wealth gotten through greedy and wicked means, proves to be of no lasting value. This rancid kind of wealth rots the heart of the one who gets it. Even when we have this rotten wealth, it cannot save us from our ultimate demise. Righteousness, however, is a far more precious treasure. True righteousness comes from God as his gift to us from his grace we received through faith in Christ Jesus. This righteousness transcends our mortality, is greater than any financial wealth we could accumulate, and saves our souls from death.
我的祷告
圣洁、公义的神啊,请使我在你眼中看为公义。我愿留下公义的品格成为最珍贵的遗产,而非我的身份、成就或是财富。我深知当我离世后,我的成就将被遗忘,但我确信主在我生命中所成就的公义将影响并祝福后代,并且成为伴随我的财富得见你面、分享你的荣耀。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous Father, thank you for making me righteous in your sight through Jesus' sacrifice and your grace. I want my enduring legacy to be my righteous character — character and righteousness you have given me — not my status, achievement, or wealth. I know my accomplishments will be forgotten after my earthly life is over, but I am fully convinced that the righteousness you develop in me will be a blessing and an influence for generations after I am gone and will be my accompanying treasure when I share with you in your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
