对今日诗句的想法
圣经不断地声明一项循环往复的真理:神使寻求他的人不再饥渴。我们往往试图平复灵魂的痛楚,并且用暂时的满足注入内心中只有神的同在才能够填补的空白。让我们拒绝任何虚假的满足,让我们寻求耶和华神!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The Bible cries out with an essential and recurring truth: God quenches the thirst and satisfies the hunger of those who genuinely seek him. Jesus even said in his Sermon on the Mount:
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." (Matthew 5:6)
We try to soothe the ache in our souls and fill the emptiness in our hearts with what is only a temporary satisfaction — an ache and emptiness that only God's presence can fill. Let's refuse every false satisfaction and tempting distraction and truly seek the Lord who alone can satisfy our spiritual thirst and fill the emptiness and hunger of our hearts. There IS a God-shaped hole in all of us that only he can fill!
我的祷告
慈爱的天父啊,愿你饶恕我试图在并不坚实的事物中,为灵魂的饥渴寻找满足(承认最常令你陷入试探的领域——性、身份、财产、经济保障、药物依赖、过度饮食、体型等)。慈爱的耶和华神啊,我寻求你。愿你在满足我灵魂饥渴之际,彰显你的同在。奉我主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Forgive us, dear Father, for trying to find the satisfaction for our souls' hunger in what is not truly sustaining or satiating. We confess the areas of temptation that most often leads us to stumble into false satisfaction — sex, status, possessions, economic security, chemical dependency, busyness, abusing food, buying new stuff, body identity, or a host of other possible vulnerabilities — are all too true in us. As we seek you, dear Lord, please make your presence known as you satisfy our spiritual thirst and satiate our souls' deep hunger. In the name of Jesus, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
