对今日诗句的想法
报复是撒旦摧毁无辜之人和犯罪之人的方法。一旦报复成为动机,受伤之人会突然被愤怒和仇恨吞没。这种毒素会蔓延到复仇者所触及的一切。在这个世界,我们可以看到,无论当时的司法制度如何地“善”,我们都找不到完全完美的公正。但神不仅会带来公正;他还会拯救我们——救我们脱离逼迫者的手,救我们脱离仇恨的毒害。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Revenge is Satan's way of destroying both the innocent and the offender. Once vengeance becomes the motivation, the wounded party can suddenly be swept up in rage and hatred. This poison spreads to everything the vengeful person touches. On earth, we can see that we will never find perfect and complete justice, no matter the "goodness" of the judicial system in place at the time. But God will not only bring justice; he will deliver us: deliver us from the hands of the oppressor and deliver us from the poison of hatred.
我的祷告
乐于饶恕的主,一切公正和永恒之爱的神啊,我求你在我国家的司法系统当中作工。让它变得更加公正和真实。让那些买卖公正的人得以曝光,将他们从权位之上撤离。求你用大能的膀臂对付那些施暴者和压迫者。主啊,求你藉着你圣灵的大能感动我,使我能饶恕别人,等候你的公义。求你保护我免受不饶恕和报复的毒害。愿我对待伤害我之人的态度、行为和回应都能带领他们认你的儿子为他们的救主。奉耶稣的名求,阿门!
My Prayer...
Forgiving Lord, God of all justice and steadfast love, I ask you to be at work in the justice system of my land. Make it more equitable and true. Expose those who buy and sell justice and remove them from power. Deal with the violent and the oppressor with your mighty hand. Please, Lord, by the power of your Spirit, stir me to forgive others and to wait on your justice. Guard me from the poison of an unforgiving and vengeful heart. May my attitude, behavior, and response to those who wrong me help lead them to know your Son as their Savior. In his name, Jesus, that I pray. Amen.
