对今日诗句的想法
你的抱负是什么?我不知道你怎么想的,但我不是很确定为何我会说我的志向是“过安静的生活。。。”但当我听说那个指示的原因后,我明白了。我遇到的如此多的人都疲惫不堪,败下阵来,疲惫于他们“忙碌的事情”,因此,让我们承诺:放慢一下脚步,每一天都更信任上帝,寻找可以赢得我们周围人尊重的生活方式!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What's your ambition? I don't know about you, but I'm not so sure I could say my ambition is to "live a quiet life and work with your hands." (I'm a bit of a loud person, but I do love to work with my hands!) When I hear the apostle Paul's reason for that command, I understand his purpose in giving it. Many people I meet are frazzled, run-down, and exhausted with all their busyness. They never acquire the seat equity and satisfaction of finishing a job with their hands. I don't want to live in a way that ruins my life's influence on others, especially those who don't know Jesus. I hope you will join me in committing to quietening your life a bit, trusting God more for what you need each day, and seeking to work hard with your hands to win the respect of those around you. I don't want to be dependent upon anyone but God!
我的祷告
噢,珍贵和公正的父亲,我需要你的帮助以使自己学会放慢脚步,偏向自己的责任,而不是到处失控,无目的乱跑。请不要仅仅给予我一直在祈祷的智慧,请同时给予我用来改变自己的内心和想法的耐心和宁静。以耶稣的名义,我祈求。阿门
My Prayer...
O precious and righteous Father, I need your help to slow down and tend to my responsibilities instead of running around out of control and without purpose. Please grant me the wisdom and patience to live a quiet life that graciously influences those around me toward you. In Jesus' name, I ask it. Amen.
