对今日诗句的想法
我很感谢保罗在他面临死亡时的信心。他被放弃了且担心教会的未来，但他知道两件事：他一直忠实地侍奉主，当他死时主会接受他！难道这两件事情不应该是我们一生中最重要的目标吗？所以，要是这两件事是我们的目标，那么我们怎么度过每一天生活呢？
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I am so thankful for Paul's confidence as he faced his death. He is all but abandoned while he is in prison (2 Timothy 4:10-13). He is worried about the future of the Church (Acts 20:25, 28-31; 2 Timothy 4:3-10), yet he is also confident in two truths: (1) He has served the Lord faithfully (2 Timothy 4:6-8), and (2) the Lord will receive him when he dies (Philippians 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 4:6-8). Shouldn't those two truths be our most important goals in life? Since they are our goals, let's encourage each other to live each day for Jesus as we anticipate them coming true in us!
我的祷告
信实慈爱的上帝，因恩典你如此慷慨地赐予我救赎。请使我在丰富的恩典下强大。我的信心有时候会软弱，动摇。我知道你的恩典是奢侈的，但我不想假设它或滥用它。请给我力量和勇气，忠实而热情地为你而活，直到有一天我和你面对面，与您一起分享您的荣耀和胜利。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Faithful and loving God, you have richly blessed me with salvation by your grace. Please strengthen me out of the riches of that grace. I am sometimes weak and falter in my faithfulness. I know your grace is lavish, but I don't want to presume on it or abuse it. So please give me strength and courage to live faithfully and passionately for you until I see you face to face and share with you in your glorious victory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
