对今日诗句的想法

我们想要立刻得到一切!不愿意作出任何等待。然而神却有一个至关重要的准则:只有当我们在小事上忠心,神才将交托给我们更多。因此,我们的道德千万不要在“微小、无足轻重”的事上打折扣,而我们的对待方式展示了我们的本质,并且帮助决定我们未来的走向。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We want it all now! Or, at least most of us do. We don't want to have to wait for anything. But God has a vital principle: he will only entrust us with much only after we have been faithful with a little. Patience is not just a virtue important to God; patience is a necessity to be faithful to God as he fashions us for greater service! So let's not discount our moral choices about "small and inconsequential matters." How we handle those kinds of things as we patiently "wait for the blessed hope — the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 3:13) is essential. How we handle these during our times of waiting reveals who we are and often determines who we become.

我的祷告

圣洁、公义的天父啊,愿你赐予我智慧,使我能够在一切事物上辨别信实、公义的道路。我愿在小事上忠心,从而能够在建立天国的事物上承受更大的托付。主啊,愿你洁净我的心,使用我的才能与行为荣耀你的名。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Holy and Righteous Father, please give me wisdom to discern the way of faithfulness and righteousness in all my dealings. I want to demonstrate proper patience as I am faithful in the small things, so that you can also entrust me with your larger things that matter more to the Kingdom. Please purify my heart and use my gifts and actions to bring you glory, both now in my times of waiting and later when I experience the full measure of your plans for me. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
