对今日诗句的想法
保罗告诉提摩太,生命中最大的财富便是虔敬而知足(提摩太前书6:6)。伴随着这项财富,我们体现的品格远胜于所处的物质环境;我们内心深处对神的爱远胜于最基本的物质需求。主耶稣认为,虔敬是一项艰巨的挑战,不论财富多少,能够展现在虔敬中知足之人是富有而虔敬的。而贫穷却虔敬之人也展现了同样的能力。所以,我们的富有不在于金钱的多少,而在于我们是否在恩典中富足!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul tells Timothy that one of life's greatest treasures is to find contentment in godliness (1 Tim. 6:6). With this treasure, our physical circumstances become far less important to us than the character we display in those circumstances. Our bottom line is less important than loving God from the bottom of our heart. Those who are wealthy and show godliness, a very difficult challenge according to Jesus, are those who have demonstrated that they are content to be godly and will be that kind of person with or without wealth. Those who are poor and are godly have demonstrated the same ability. So the bottom line is not how rich are we in money, but how rich are we in grace!
我的祷告
信实的天父啊,安静我焦躁不安甚至有时贪婪的心。请帮助我因生命中有你的同在与品格而满足。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Steadfast and Faithful Father, still my restless and sometimes covetous heart and help me find my contentment in your presence and character in my life. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
