对今日诗句的想法
我们如此容易认为自己是不富有的普通人。但底线是如果我们有机会获得一台电脑去读取电子邮件，那么我们比世界上大多数人都富裕。让我们不要让我们的信仰和同情被我们的“东西”影响。神要帮助我们使骆驼穿过针眼（万事可达）。他会的，如果我们记得，我们所拥有的都是他的礼物，他打算让我们用它来祝福别人和尊敬他。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
It is so easy to think of ourselves as average-income people who are not wealthy. So Jesus resorts to a bit of sarcastic humor, talking about trying to get a camel's big nose and humpy back with its long legs through the eye of a sewing needle. (No! Jesus is not talking about a gate in the Jerusalem wall where camels had to crawl to get through it — that was named hundreds of years after Jesus!) The bottom line truth? If we can access a computer, phone, or tablet to read e-mail, we're richer than much of the world. Let's not let our "stuff" get in the way of our faith and compassion. God wants to help our camels get through the eyes of our needles. He yearns for us to remember that all we have is a gift from him and that he intends us to use it to bless others and honor him.
我的祷告
慈父，有时让我不担心一些关于钱的问题很难。我知道自己备受祝福，具有如此多的优势。可是父亲，我不想占着我不拥有的东西，我也不想被一直追求而没有的东西牵制。请帮助我，无论拥有什么都要去寻求无尽的善良，慷慨和感激。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Tender Father, it is sometimes hard for me not to worry about money issues. I know that you have richly blessed me with many advantages and privileges. But dear Father, I don't want to be owned by the things I possess — I don't want them to possess me. I don't want to be sidetracked by trying to acquire what I don't have. I don't want to keep ordering frivolous stuff to make myself happy, fit in socially, or feel secure. Please help me as I seek to be rich in kindness, generosity, and thankfulness with what you have graciously shared with me. In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
