对今日诗句的想法
谦卑自己，这听起来似乎很可憎，至少对于主张自我提升——“要不惜一切代价超前”，“不要向后看，胜利属于你”这样的文化来说，自我谦卑是可憎的。谦卑是被遗忘的美德，并且常常与软弱或怯懦相混淆。谦卑在于认识我们在世上正确的角色而不张扬。只有神能够永远使我们升高。因此，我们应当认识自己在神面前的位置，让神将我们放置在任何使他得荣耀的位置。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Humble yourselves..." That sounds almost obscene to a world so caught up in self-promotion and willing to do almost anything for "likes" and "views" in social media. This "get ahead at all costs" and this "look at me" driven culture of self-promotion is destroying our inner character before our very eyes. Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is really about knowing our proper place in the world and our eternal value to God without flaunting, promoting, and exalting ourselves. Only God can exalt permanently, so the key is for us to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses for us to honor him and bless others.
我的祷告
阿爸父啊，至高圣洁的神，感谢你允许我进入你的同在。当我想到你所做的一切，想到你用话语创造的奇妙宇宙，你邀请我进入你的同在令我惊奇。你竟在意我对言辞的选择，也令我惊奇不已。感谢你认识我并为我的生命设立计划。我渴望在所行的一切荣耀你的名，愿你帮助我，使我的生命向他人展现谦卑与恩典。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Abba Father, Most Holy God, thank you for allowing me into your presence because of your Holy Spirit and grace. When I think of all that you have done, the incredible universe you have made and hold together by your word, I am amazed you invite me into your presence and care about me. So, thank you! Thank you for knowing me and having a plan for my life. Please help me live with humility and grace before others today as I seek to glorify you in all the things I say, do, and believe. I trust my future and my influence to your grace, timing, and place. Through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
