对今日诗句的想法
什么保守着你的心?什么保守着你的意念?你可知神的平安能够守护我们的心思意念?这就是使徒保罗在这处经文中向我们所做出的保证。我们若以感恩的心将所要的告诉神,神那超乎言语表达、超乎我们理解的平安,必将保守我们的心思意念。你需要实例来确认这一应许的真实性?请看《约伯记》:降临在约伯身上的一切,他所遭遇的一切伤害,然而约伯却没有硬着心或是癫狂。约伯能够经受这一切的关键是什么呢?——他与主持续不断的对话。不论遭遇何等的痛苦,不论他是何等的困惑,不论他被如何恶意嘲弄,他决不与主分离。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What guards your heart? What protects your mind? Did you know that the peace of God can stand guard over our hearts and minds? That's the apostle Paul's promise to us in this passage. If we will present our requests to God, with thanksgiving, then God's peace that is greater than any explanation and that transcends our ability to comprehend it, will stand sentry over our hearts and minds. You want an example of how this is true? Look at the book of Job. All that befalls him. All that wounds him. Yet still he doesn't become hard of heart or go insane. What is the key to his survival? His ongoing conversation with the Lord. He will not relinquish that relationship no matter how badly he hurts, how much he is confused, nor how badly he is ridiculed.
我的祷告
天父啊,我需要你的平安。虽有伤痛刺透我的心,但我不愿其在我心上坚硬生茧。有时心中的困惑使我惧怕失去应有的理性。慈爱的天父啊,我坚信,若我依靠主耶稣,若我坦诚地与你交流我的生命和你的恩典,你必将以你的平安祝福我,并且保守我的心思意念脱离败坏。慈爱的天父啊,感谢你对我们的提醒——即便我身处困境,仍应感谢你在我的生命中以及与你同行的过程中,赐予我的一切美好祝福!奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Father, I need your peace. There are wounds that pierce my heart, but I don't want it to become hardened and callused. There are times my mind is so confused that I fear I may lose my rationality. Dear Father, I trust that as I cling to Jesus, and as I speak openly with you about my life and your grace, that you will bless me with your peace and will protect my heart and my mind from destruction. Thank you, dear Father, for the reminder that even as I struggle with my troubles, I also need to give you thanks for all the good things that you have blessed me with in my life and my walk with you! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
