对今日诗句的想法
敬虔加上知足的心，便是大利了！(参见提摩太前书6:6) 那么，是什么令我们满足呢？保罗提醒提摩太，只要有衣有食，就当知足。当我们的欲望泛滥，当我们的贪婪居首位，我们的生命便会失控，以所贪恋的偶像取代神(参见歌罗西书3:5)。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Godliness with contentment is great wealth (1 Timothy 6:6). So, what does it take for us to be content? Jesus and Paul remind us that as long as we have food and clothing, we should be content (Matthew 6:24-25; Luke 12:23). When our desires get out of that channel of need and when covetous greed takes over, our lives go off the rails and we replace God with a repacious desire for what becomes our idol (Colossians 3:5). God wants us to let him be enough and see the rest as the overflow of his grace!
我的祷告
圣洁的神啊，愿你饶恕我曾被贪婪与奢侈挥霍所牢笼。愿你帮助我的心，在你的丰盛祝福中感到满足，并且从你与你安排在我生命中的百姓那里得到喜乐。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy God, forgive me for being caught up in the lifestyle of greed and covetousness, of excess and extravagance. These values of the world around me seem to be tearing us apart. Oh, Jesus, I don't want these things to dominate my heart. Please help my heart to be content with the blessings you have so lavishly poured out on me, and for me to find my joy in you and your people whom you have put into my life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
