对今日诗句的想法
我不知道你有何感受,有时圣经如此残酷地说出真理,让我觉得很受伤!我们觉得我们的世界,我们的地球,已经存在了很长时间,并认为它还会存在更长远的时间。但神提醒我们这都是短暂的!我们就更短暂了:就像苍蝇一样,我们在地上存留片刻,就不见了。但不是真的不见了!基督徒只是离开了地上这个短暂的居所,因为我们的生命藏在基督里,在神永远长存的救恩和永无止境的公义当中。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I don't know about you, but sometimes the Bible is so brutally honest it hurts! We assume that the cosmos and our little blue planet have existed for a long time. We sometimes assume that it will be here a long time more. But God reminds us that it is temporary! We are even more temporary: just like flies, we're here for a short while, and then we're gone. But not gone, gone! Christians are just gone from the temporary existence of earth because our lives are caught up with Christ in God's salvation which lasts forever. God's righteousness will never end or fail. Our salvation will last beyond every tomorrow!
我的祷告
公义的父啊,你垂听我的祷告,一路上坚固我,我感谢你赐我确信,让我知道作为一个基督徒,我从你所得的会超越死亡的界限、人性的局限以及自身软弱带来的脆弱。我感谢你,我连结于你和你的救恩,并且因着耶稣你看我为圣洁公义的儿女。奉耶稣的名求,阿门!
My Prayer...
O Righteous Father who hears my prayers and strengthens me for the journey, thank you for the assurance that what I have as a Christian with you goes beyond the boundaries of death, the limitations of my humanity, and the vulnerabilities of my weaknesses. Thank you that I am tied to you and your salvation and that because of Jesus, you see me as your righteous and holy child. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
