对今日诗句的想法
我们是地球的生灵。是的，我们远不止如此，但偶尔我们都需要被提醒。我们无法了解上帝的创造，然而如我们所知的，在最初上帝就存在了。我们也不能了解那个给我们提供一个有序的生存基础的世界，但是上帝可以。他在这个世界还没被创造之前就已经存在了。我们不能真正领悟这一切。这就是为什么每一个新的开始 — 无论是一天，一周，一年，或一千年都应该以上帝为开端。他，就是我们终极的创世纪，我们的开始。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We are creatures of the earth. Yes, we are much more than that, but occasionally, we must be reminded of our earth-bound existence at this time in our lives! We can't truly understand existence before, beyond, or above time. Yet before the beginning of time, as we know it, God existed — he has revealed himself as "I Am," the one who was, who is, and who is to come. Before there was an ordered universe to provide the basis of our existence, God was "I Am" — existing in the past, present, and future simultaneously! He existed before, beyond, and without our created universe and the limitations of space and time. We can't truly comprehend this in its entirety. That's why every new beginning — a day, a week, a year, or a millennium — should begin with God. He alone is the ultimate Genesis, the "I Am" present at every new beginning.
我的祷告
全能的造物主，凌驾于宇宙的神，我赞美您无与伦比的权力和您难以理解的荣耀。在新的一年开始的这一刻，我知道，你的意志，你的恩典，和你的救恩充满了我的未来。请你陪伴我走向这个未来，请赋予我今天今年的俗世生活以荣耀。我奉耶稣的名义祷告。阿们。
My Prayer...
Almighty Creator and God of the universe, I praise you for your incomparable power and incomprehensible glory. As I begin this new year, I know my future rests in your will, grace, and salvation. Please go with me as I journey toward this new future. Please be glorified in how I live my life today, this year, and for as long as you give me earthly life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
