对今日诗句的想法
慈爱的造物主创造了我们，并赋予了我们远超乎动物的意义。与其它受造之物相比，人类是特别的，是与众不同的。神创造了我们，让我们管理一切。当然，管理并不代表毁坏。一切受造之物都见证了神的存在(诗篇19,罗马书1:20)，我们当然不想破坏这些见证。事实上，我们是照神的形象所造，更希望以神的恩典、慈爱和关怀来治理一切。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we are creatures made by a loving Creator, we are so much more than animals. There is something distinctive and unique about a human being compared with the rest of creation. God made us to rule over the animal world. But "rule over" does not mean ruin or abuse! Since creation is part of God's testimony to himself (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20), we certainly don't want to ruin or mar that beautiful testimony. Being made in God's likeness means we want to rule and steward creation with the grace, benevolence, and care God himself uses.
我的祷告
天父啊，愿你帮助我看到你所创造的一切美好。制止我的浪费，引导我正确使用你所赐予我们的如此丰盛的自然资源。最重要的是，对于受造之物的影响，愿你引导我做出正确的决定。愿我的生活方式和我的整个生命，都不会损害你在这世间的美好见证。奉主耶稣基督圣名祈求，阿们。
My Prayer...
Father, help me see all the beauty of your creation. Guard me from wastefulness and abuse. Guide me to properly use the natural resources with which you have so generously blessed me and those around me. Most of all, direct me so that my decisions that impact your creation will be helpful and life-giving. May my lifestyle and personal choices never damage the beauty of your voice found in your creation. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
