对今日诗句的想法
我们不可视这句经文为实现我们愿望清单的法门,而要看到这句经文的真正意图。这句经文其实是在邀请我们与神建立爱的关系,并视这个关系超乎一切。找到了神,我们就会发现所有事务的优先级都能合理地排序,我们内心就明白哪些事务有价值,哪些没有价值。然后我们就会晓得,我们心中最大的渴望都在他里面。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Rather than seeing this as a way to get our wish list granted, let's see it for what it really is — an invitation to seek a loving, dependent relationship with God above all other things and to find our delight in him. In finding him, in delighting in him, we will find our priorities properly aligned and our hearts tuned to desire what is really valuable and what he longs to give to us. Then we will see that what we have in him is our heart's greatest desire. This is not a promise to get all the stuff we want; it's a promise to find in God all that we need, and then we find our delight in what pleases him.
我的祷告
伟大而又恩慈的天父啊,我要向你承认,我心中时常充满自私。父啊,正是在这些时刻,我发现自己最需要的其实是你,我内心的渴望其实是你的旨意。求你让我心中的圣灵燃烧起来,使我能够看穿那些妨碍你在我生命居首位的诡诈的私心。当我小气、自私、肤浅时,求你饶恕我。愿我在活着的时候能够尽可能地认识你。这并非为了让我自己得满足,而是为了让你得荣耀。因着你的恩典,奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Awesome and Gracious Father, we confess to you that too often our hearts are full of selfish desires. Today, however, we recognize, dear Father, that you are the one we most need, and your will is what our hearts most desire. Please kindle your Spirit in us so that we can see through any selfish deception that would rob us of having you first in our lives. Please forgive us for the times we were petty, selfish, and shallow. May we know you as much as possible, as mortals can know you, not so that we may have our selfish desires fulfilled, but so that you may be honored in what we seek, and we find our delight in what you bring. Because of your grace, and in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
