对今日诗句的想法
我们所面对的并非世间的争战，而是属灵的争战——与大有能力，但并非我们肉眼能轻易看到的力量争战。我们决不能仅仅将其视为想象中的或是无关紧要的斗争而忽视。正如撒但伏在该隐的门前企图吞吃该隐，同样，撒但也蹲伏在我们脚前(创世记4:7)。撒但将使用一切邪恶的力量试图击垮、摧毁、败坏我们。我们必须严谨对待这场争战，并且认清属灵仇敌的力量。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The battle we face is not a physical one. It is not one against other people, even if they hold us as enemies. Our battle is part of our war with powers that we cannot easily see, yet which are powerful and pervasive. We must not dismiss this spiritual battle as an imaginary, irrelevant, or outdated. Just as clearly as Satan was crouching at Cain's door, desiring to have him, so he crouches at our door as well (Genesis 4:7). Just as the evil one tempted Jesus in the wilderness (Luke 4:1-13), he will use his demonic forces of evil to do all he can to defeat, destroy, or corrupt us personally. We must take this war seriously and recognize the power of our evil foe. However, we must not fear this battle or the evil one behind it. We shared in Jesus' ultimate victory over the evil one and his minions on the cross and through his resurrection when we were baptized in faith and raised with him in the power of God (Colossians 2:12-15). Our lives are now hidden with Christ in God, and we will share in his glorious victory when he returns (Colossians 3:1-4). Until then, let's recognize the struggle we face and enter that battle to win in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord!
我的祷告
天父啊，愿你饶恕我曾未能严肃对待魔鬼的威吓。愿你赐予我圣洁的心，使我厌恶一切不圣洁与抵挡你工作与旨意的事物。愿你保守我不被试探蒙骗，愿你拯救我脱离魔鬼任何形式的力量。奉主耶稣圣名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, forgive me for the times I have not taken the threat of demonic powers and the evil one seriously. Please give me a holy revulsion for anything unholy, ungodly, or wicked. Please awaken me, as I am determined not to let the evil one or his influences deceive me. Deliver me from the power of the evil, and the evil one. In the mighty name of Jesus, I confidently pray. Amen.
