对今日诗句的想法
当有人想要踩灭烧着的干草时,火星却会溅出并随风飞腾,火苗由此飞散得更远、燃烧范围更广。撒但企图利用迫害来打压早期教会,而神正是使用了迫使这些基督徒们离家的殉道与迫害,使分散的基督徒们在所到之处传播福音信息。每一位基督徒都是一枚火种,赐我们能力的圣灵用神圣之风吹拂、激励着我们。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When someone tries to stomp out the flame of dry broom weed, the sparks fly upward and ride upon the wind, spreading the sparks and igniting wildfires far and wide. Satan tried to use persecution and martyrdom to discourage the early church. As the evil one drove these Christians from their homes, they continued to share Jesus without fear wherever they went. God used their boldness to spread the message of Jesus far and wide like wildfire. Each believer was a spark driven by the Divine Wind — God's empowering Spirit — to do what Jesus had commanded: to be his "witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
我的祷告
噢伟大的神啊,你是满有怜悯与恩典的神,请赐给我圣洁的热情,使我不论在何种环境都能向我遇见的人们分享你的爱与大能,带领他们明白我对你的认知。请赐给我智慧与勇气,使我能够看到向那些出现在我生命中的人们分享主耶稣的机会,并且付诸行动向他们传讲福音。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
O great God of mercy and grace, please give me a holy passion to share your love and power with all I meet, no matter what circumstances led them into my acquaintance. Give me the wisdom to see and the courage to act on the opportunities to share Jesus with those you bring into my life. I pray all this in the name of the Lord Jesus, and for his glory and gospel. Amen.
