对今日诗句的想法
延迟享乐的奖励！如果曾有一句诗不匹配我们的“现代”社会的理论，那必须是这句诗了！准备...自我控制的...把你的希望寄托于未来...这些都不是广告词，但他们都是已经摆在我们面前的伟大灵魂的持续真理！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Is there really such a thing as delayed gratification? Our culture sure doesn't seem to think so! We want all of our benefits, blessings, and delights now! In today's world, we don't seem to want to wait for anything! So if there were ever a verse that did NOT match the whims of our "modern" society, this would have to be it:
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed."
Notice that none of those phrases is found in a modern advertising slogan. All are, however, the sustaining actions of the great souls who have gone before us. We ignore them at our spiritual peril. We embrace them to follow in that great heritage of faith we see in Hebrews 11:1-40!
我的祷告
永恒的上帝，请帮助我具备耐心和忠诚，让在我的世界里缺乏的又极其需要的你的性格和智慧完全地塑形与我。以耶稣的名祷告。阿们。
My Prayer...
Eternal God, please help me have the patience and faithfulness to let you fully form my character and develop the spiritual wisdom that my world lacks and that I so much need. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
