对今日诗句的想法
使徒保罗在此给出了极好的劝诫，这正是我们需要特别关注的劝诫方式。我们生活的时代，不断强调新奇、新颖或新款的事物。然而作为基督徒，我们的知识总是超乎顺服。所以我们需要提醒彼此我们所做正确的事，“你做得很好，继续保持！” 我们需要这样的提醒远超过我们所认为的。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While Paul's exhortation here is excellent, it is the style of the exhortation we should especially notice. We live in an age where we are constantly pressured to emphasize the novel, new, or improved versions of things. But in our lives as Christians, our knowledge always exceeds our obedience — we very seldom live up to the truth we know, even though it is old truth and established truth. So, more often than we like to think, we need to remind each other of what we are doing that is right, good, obedient, and holy. Our words of affirmation and encouragement don't need to be elaborate or profound or novel or new. We can say, "Hey, you're doing well; just keep doing what you're doing! I know your Father in heaven is pleased with you!" Let's encourage each other and build each other up, as in fact some of us are already doing, and need to do so more and more.
我的祷告
信实的天父啊，感谢你留意并记录我所做良善、得蒙你喜悦的事。愿你帮助我继续做你所悦纳的事，并且做得更好，得蒙你的喜悦并荣耀你的名。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Faithful Father, thank you for noticing and keeping record of the things I've done that are good and pleasing to you. Thank you for choosing to forget those things you have forgiven me. Please help me to keep doing those things that please you, only help me do them better, more completely, so that you may be pleased and glorified. And, dear Father, help me see the good things others do, and encourage and affirm their goodness. I want to be the kind of disciple who catches people doing good things, then lets them know I appreciate them. In Jesus name and to become more JESUShaped, I pray. Amen.
