对今日诗句的想法
行动性的对那些无能为力，被遗忘的人们的关爱植根于神的心和拥护于旧约法。其中的第一个在早期教会迫切，积极处理的内部问题是在耶路撒冷的偏见和对说希腊语的寡妇的忽视。对上帝和他们来说是重要的！保罗还提醒我们，我们今天我们该同样地关心寡妇！ （请注意，詹姆斯扩展了同样的关注寡妇和孤儿！雅各书1:27）
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Practical loving concerns for the powerless and forgotten — widows, fatherless, and foreigners among us (Deuteronomy 10:18, 24:17-21; Psalm 146:9) — are rooted in the heart of God and championed in Old Testament Law. One of the first internal problems the early church urgently faced and handled positively was language prejudice toward some widows — Jewish but Greek-speaking widows in Jerusalem (Acts 6:1-7). Showing love, concern, and care to all was essential to God and a concern the early church leaders addressed. Paul later reminded Timothy, and us, that we must have the same concern for widows and the marginalized today! (Notice that James extends that same concern for both widows and orphans — James 1:27)
我的祷告
请原谅我，慈爱的天父，因为我有时把自己迷失于自己的机会 和问题中，我忽视周围那些在我的教会家庭需要我的帮助和有需要而不是基督徒的人们。以你的精神感动我，让我可以更好地听到，看到，并满足他们的需求。感谢您对所有人的关注，并请用我来作为你关心的工具去祝福那些需要的人们。以耶稣的珍贵的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Forgive me, loving Father, for I sometimes get so lost in my opportunities and problems that I don't look around and check on those in my church family who need my help, much less those in need who are not Christians. Touch me with your Spirit and enable me to redemptively hear, see, and respond to their needs. I appreciate your concern for all people. Please use me as one of your tools of grace to bless those in need. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
