对今日诗句的想法
“管教”,即使不与惩罚相混淆,仍被认为沉重、令人厌烦且并非必要。我们身上懒惰与罪的那部分不想要界限,即使界限是好的;也不想要引导,因为引导所指的方向或许与我们想要做的事情相冲突。然而神的管教出于对我们的爱与祝福,这是他所喜悦的。为什么?因为神并不愿我们无改变、无动力、无热诚,他期望使我们接近目标——主耶稣的样式!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Discipline, even when it is not falsely confused with punishment, is considered onerous, irritating, and unnecessary. The lazy and sinful part of us wants no boundaries, even if they are good, and no direction because it might conflict with what we want to do. But the Lord disciplines out of love to bless us. It is a sign of his delight. Why? Because he is not content to leave us unchanged, unmotivated, and disinterested. He wants to move us closer to our goal: Jesus!
我的祷告
公义的天父啊,我承认自己并不那么喜爱管教。然而天父啊,我的内心深知你的管教是为了我的益处与属灵的祝福。愿你帮助我更好地明白并使用生命中的环境,使我更像主耶稣。奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
I confess, Righteous Father, I don't like discipline all that much. However, Father, deep down I know that your discipline is for my good and my spiritual blessing. Please help me better know and use the situations in my life to become more like Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
