对今日诗句的想法
真正的问题不是“如果”,而是“何时”!我们的孩子面临着巨大的党群压力。我们也是!我们必须帮助他们抵御这种压力的诱惑。而且,我们要不厌其烦地抵制他们。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The real issue isn't "if" but "when" we're enticed and tempted! Our children face tremendous peer pressure and temptations. We do, too! We must help them resist the enticements of this pressure. Also, we must never tire of resisting them ourselves. One example of a parent preparing his child for trials and temptations is found when God affirmed his Son, Jesus, with affirming words at his baptism when he opened the heavens and said: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased" (Luke 3:21). And if the words weren't enough, God opened the heavens and sent down Holy Spirit in the form of a dove! How vital were these words of affirmation? When we see what happened next, Jesus' forty days of temptation in the wilderness, we realize they were essential! Satan's first words to Jesus were, "If you are the Son of God..." God had already blessed his Son with words of affirmation and encouragement before his trials. How much more do those we love need our words of affirmation and love to resist their trials and temptations?!
我的祷告
神啊,我面对诱惑和挑逗。请守护我的心,我的生活,和我的榜样。帮助成为有个性和诚信的人。此外,请让我能够引导,保护,并提醒我的那些在肉体和信仰上都是我的孩子的人们,我奉耶稣的名义祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
O God, I do face temptations and enticements. Please guard my heart, my life, and my example. Please help me be a person of character and integrity. In addition, please enable me to lead, protect, guard, and warn my loved ones — those in my physical and spiritual families — and help them avoid stumbling and falling in trials and temptations. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
