对今日诗句的想法
慈爱、谦卑的生活方式展现了谁有真智慧。人们很容易骄傲,却在神的眼中比愚笨更糟,那是可悲的无知。智慧并非夸耀知识,而是活出虔敬的生命,那样的生命使我们在与主同行中更像主耶稣——智慧是通过谦卑、慈爱的生活方式得以表达,还是通过自以为是的骄傲得以表达呢?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
James promised that if we ask for wisdom in faith, God will grant it to us (James 1:5). This kind of wisdom, God-granted wisdom, reveals itself through a loving, humble lifestyle. In worldly cultures, someone who is smart can easily justify acting arrogantly. In the Lord's eyes, however, smart but arrogant people are worse than those who are silly and foolish. The pridefully intelligent people of our world are woefully ignorant if they are arrogant. True godly wisdom is not about flaunting knowledge, but about living a "good life" characterized by good deeds done with humility. Which more closely resembles you in your walk with Jesus: Wisdom expressed through good deeds and a humble lifestyle, or an arrogant intelligence expressed in deeds and words of superiority and arrogance?
我的祷告
慈爱的牧者,我深知你是智慧、慈爱的天父。愿你帮助我,使我今天与最需要的人分享你丰盛的关爱。愿你保守我,使我远离骄傲和高人一等的感觉。愿你温柔地谦卑我,使我在你手中成为更有用的器皿。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Loving Shepherd, I know you have always been a wise and loving Father to me. Help me share the care you have lavished on me with the person who needs it most, in my circle of influence, today. Please give me the wisdom to recognize each opportunity and respond with deeds and words shared with them in humility. Please protect me from arrogance and feelings of superiority and privilege. Please humble me gently in the ways that forge me into a more useful tool in your hands. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
