对今日诗句的想法

能够在合适的时间说合宜的话,这是极大的恩赐。然而,即使是最好的演说家也不得不承认,他们最美妙的用词也比不上圣灵所赐的话语。不过,我们也不可为自己马虎的言辞、刻薄的态度或错失良机而找借口。不注意言语毫无借口可寻。没留意到自己说了什么,这绝不是借口。无法在灵里体察同伴的需求,这其实是在逃避。不熟悉经文,以致无法在合宜的时间用恩慈的口祝福别人,这也是自欺。先聆听神的话语,然后去倾听别人的心声。我们这样预备好自己的双耳和心灵,才能给别人带去祝福。

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Knowing the right word at the right time is a great gift. But even the best of speakers has to admit that the best of his or her words are not nearly as good as those the Spirit gives. Nevertheless, we must not excuse ourselves for our insensitive speech, unkindness, or missed opportunities. Not paying attention to what was said is no excuse. Not being spiritually in tune with the needs of our companions is a cop out. Simply not knowing Scripture well enough to bless others with gracious speech at the appropriate time is self-deception. Listening to others after having listened to God in his Word is what tunes our ears and our hearts to bless others.

我的祷告

慈爱的牧者,我今天要花大量时间与人相处。他们中间有些人认识你,但大多数人并不认识你。求你赐我智慧,使我口里所说的,能够领人更加靠近你;求你使我的言语给伤心的人带来帮助和盼望;赐我柔和的舌头能鼓励那些灰心的人;又赐我合宜的话语能够引导那些迷茫的人。天父啊,求你使我今天口里的言语,能够体贴你的心意,蒙你的引导,并给人带去祝福。奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!

My Prayer...

Loving Shepherd, I will spend much of my time today with people. Some of them know you, but most do not. Please give me wisdom to say things that lead people closer to you. Give me words of help and hope for the broken. Give me words of tenderness for the fainting. Give me words of direction for the confused. Father, I pray that whatever words I do say today may reflect your will and may be led by your purposes to bless others. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
