对今日诗句的想法
我很喜欢在“信心伟人名录”之前的这个对神百姓的描述（希伯来书11章）。我们若查考历史上神的百姓，就会发现他们并不是软弱的、哭哭啼啼的懦夫。没错，他们的确有软弱的时候。但总而言之，他们没有放弃自己的追求。他们持守着信心，最终获得神伟大的拯救。这节经文让我欢喜，因为圣灵没说“我们可以成为不退后的人，” 相反，他对我们有信心，相信我们会忠心持守信仰。我们不是“退后的人”，我们是相信的人！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I love this description of God's people that precedes "the faith Hall of Fame" (Hebrews 11). When you look at God's people over the centuries, they are not a bunch of wimps, crybabies, and cowards. Yes, they do have their bad moments. But all in all, they are not those who quit on their quest. They are those whose faith has endured and found God's great victory of salvation. This verse excites me because the Holy Spirit does not say "we can be those who don't shrink back," instead he is confident in us, our endurance and our faithfulness. We're not "shrinkers," we're believers!
我的祷告
全能的神啊，我感谢你对我的信任。有你的帮助，我不会成为一个“退后的人”。即使我周围的人退后了，我也会持守你的真理、你的品格和你的旨意。我相信你已为你的百姓预备了那上好的赏赐，所以我拒绝退后。求你藉着圣灵赐我力量，使我更竭诚地服侍你。奉耶稣的名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Thank you, Mighty God, for your confidence in me. With your help, I won't be a "shrinker." I will stand for your truth, your character, and your will even if those around me do not. I believe you have great things ahead for your people, so I refuse to shrink back. Please empower me with your Spirit so that I can more completely serve you with confidence and integrity. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
