对今日诗句的想法
我们要用心灵的双眼才能看见天国。当我们处在沮丧、怀疑、抑郁的境况中,我们心中的眼睛就需要被照明。我们要在黑暗中看见晨光升起,我们要看到盼望的曙光和我们所得基业的丰盛。然而当事情看似不顺时,唯有通过颂赞、祷告以及宣告神的应许,我们才不会忘记自己所拥有的盼望和丰盛的基业。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Heaven is something we see now with our hearts through our faith. When we are discouraged, doubtful, and depressed, we need to have the eyes of our hearts "enlightened" so we can live our lives with that hope. The dawn needs to rise in our darkness; as we see the dawn of hope and the riches of our inheritance on the horizon, we can be strong, have faith, endure, persevere, and even thrive in our faith. When things look bad, however, sometimes the only way to remember "the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints" is to sing them, pray them, and read God's promises of them in Scripture. These three spiritual practices awaken our faith to see beyond our circumstances! Paul reminds us that, as brothers and sisters in Christ, we can remind each other of these things when we pray for one another to experience them.
我的祷告
神啊,你是我的盼望。我信靠你和你的应许。但我承认自己时不时,甚至就像现在,我的信心不足,不知道你是否会回应我的祷告,或是如我所信赖的那样在我生命里作工。愿你的圣灵充满我,缓解我的疑虑,点燃我的热情,使我能够有勇气去侍奉你,并与他人分享你的恩典。奉我主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
O God, you are my lasting hope. I trust in you and your promises. I admit, however, that at times I struggle with my confidence in my hope that you will act in response to my prayers and do what I've trusted you with my life to do. So, please fill me with your Spirit, who can comfort my doubts, rekindle my passion to serve you with boldness, and to share my hope with others. Thank you for Paul's reminder, and I choose to pray about these hopes, sing about these hopes, and read about these hopes in the Scriptures. Through my Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
