对今日诗句的想法
不是要“找出”那独有的“第一”,而是要寻找出那些配得美善的人们 — 无论是帮助他们、伸出援手,还是以赞美、仁爱,表达喜爱、给予关注,等等等等,我们都要毫不犹豫地把这些给予那些需要并应得的人们。像保罗告诉我们的,我们本是蒙了耶稣的拯救,所以我们更要“热心为善”(提多书2:14)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Rather than "looking out for" only "number 1" — for ourselves — God commands us to look out for those deserving of our goodness — whether that goodness is help, aid, praise, love, affection, attention, or affirmation. We should act decisively and give these deserving people what they need. We are to be a people, as Paul tells us, saved by Jesus and "eager to do good deeds" (Titus 2:14).
我的祷告
天父,请原谅我的自私。我总是关注着自己的需求或自己应得的。在我的生活中有那么多善良优秀的人来祝福我。求你的圣灵打开我的眼,开启我的心,去发现周围我可以去祝福的人,请给我勇气采取行动来荣耀你,成为其他人的祝福。奉耶稣的名祷告。阿们。
My Prayer...
Father, forgive me for my selfishness. I so often notice only my needs or what I deserve. You have placed so many good and deserving people in my life who have blessed me. I ask you, Holy Spirit, to open my heart to see those around me who need my goodness as a blessing. Give me the courage to act in ways that glorify the Father and reflect the goodness of Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
