对今日诗句的想法
生活有时会很艰难,任何一位长者都清楚这一点。然而与此同时,即使是最可怕的噩梦,也是神对我们伟大救赎的展现之时。我们最觉孤单的时侯,正是等候最终进入天家、与主同在的时刻。无论生命的戏码如何上演,或将我们置于何处,因有圣灵住在我们里面,我们已经得到了生命终点的确据。那么就让我们的生命活出拥有确据——虽未最终到达,但我们清楚生命的归属。切不可像那些将最终的家与盼望置于现今世界的人们,因为最美的时日在我们前方!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Life can be very difficult at times. Anyone who has lived long knows this. At the same time, even our worst nightmares are staging periods for our great redemption. Our loneliest moments are the waiting room for our final adoption into the very presence the King of Ages. With the Spirit living inside us, we are assured of the ultimate destination of our lives, our Abba Father in our forever home! No matter where the current scene in life's drama places us, let's live as those who are assured of their final destination. We are not of those who have no hope, those who have made their home and placed all their hope in what is present in the here-and-now reality of our decaying universe. For us, however, our best days lie ahead with a new heavens and new earth with God, forever.
我的祷告
全能、信实的神啊,慈爱的阿爸父,愿你在今天就赐予我勇气,使我能够面对任何将置于我生命道路上的阻碍;愿主赐予我圣灵,使我带着恩典、尊严、诚实去面对,从而使他人能够因着我的行为而将荣耀归给你!奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty and faithful God, our loving Abba Father, bless us with courage today to face whatever obstacles lie ahead. Please give us spiritual strength to live with grace, dignity, and integrity so that others may see our faithfulness, hope, and joy. We want them to come to know you and bring you glory with us on that great day when the Holy Spirit fully redeems our bodies and our world from their slavery to death, decay, and destruction. In Jesus' name, we wait in hope and pray with anticipation. Amen.
