对今日诗句的想法
对世界的爱，尤其是对短暂之事物的爱，必使我们陷入困境。更糟的是，我们会开始认为这些事物可以给我们带来快乐或填满我们内心的空虚。我们若将盼望和梦想完全仰望在阿爸天父手中，就能与永恒相连。这样，我们所最需要的就时刻与我们同在。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Love for things, especially temporary ones, can sure get us into trouble. We can begin to assume that these worldly things will make us happy or fill the empty places in our souls. These assumptions soon become cravings. Acting on these lusts, cravings, and pride then drives, enslaves, and addicts us. Not only do these false allures from the evil one leave us unfulfilled, but they also lead us away from the Lord and the life he longs to share with us (John 1:4, 10:10). Only when we truly place our hopes and yearnings in our Abba Father, seeking to know and experience him in our lives, do we find truly satisfying and lasting life (John 17:3).
我的祷告
圣洁的神啊，求你赐我智慧，使我专心于你和真正重要的事务。我向你承认，我的眼目和心灵常常被短暂虚浮之事吸引。天父啊，愿你藉着圣灵挑旺我的心，使我一心渴慕你。奉主耶稣圣名求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Please give me wisdom, righteous Father, to see beyond the evil one's false advertising — his mirages of life that entrap and enslave us. I ask for the Spirit's help to fully invest in you and what truly matters. I confess to you that my eyes and my heart are often distracted by the glitzy, temporary "stuff" that appeals to my fleshly cravings, selfish lusts, and egotistical pride. Please stir my heart to yearn for you — to find lasting life in Jesus as the Holy Spirit empowers me to know and experience you. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray and turn my heart fully toward you. Amen.
