对今日诗句的想法
我们幸福的基础是什么？如果是外部的环境，那就麻烦了，因为外在的事物早晚会变得不怎么如意。保罗说他随事随在都得了秘诀。这个秘诀就是耶稣基督。因为有耶稣，所以他确信无论环境如何，他都不孤单。无论环境有多艰难，这些问题都不是永恒的。不管当下生活如何艰苦，耶稣都会加给他力量胜过这一切。保罗也同样确信耶稣会加给我们力量。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What's the basis of our happiness? If it's our outward circumstances, we're all in trouble because sooner or later, these aren't going to be too good. Paul said he had learned the secret to living above life's circumstances. That secret was Jesus Christ. Jesus was his assurance that no matter how difficult our problems might be, they were not permanent. No matter how hard life was, Jesus would give him the strength to persevere. Paul is just as sure that Jesus will do this for you and me!
我的祷告
荣耀和全能的神啊，为着你在圣经里显明你大能的那些故事，我感谢你。当我遇见困难，这些故事带给我勇气和盼望。我相信今天耶稣就能在我的艰难之中拯救我，扶持我，托举我。我有些时候没有转向你并向你坦诚我的挣扎，求你饶恕我。主啊，今天我就需要基督的力量、安慰和同在。奉我的救主耶稣之名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
God of glory and might, thank you for the stories of your great power in the Bible. They give me courage and hope when I face my problems. I believe Jesus can deliver me, sustain me, and uphold me through my difficulties today. Please forgive me for those times when I didn't turn to you and honestly talk to you about my struggles. O Lord, I need the strength, the comfort, and the presence of Christ today. In the name of my Savior Jesus, I pray. Amen.
