对今日诗句的想法
保罗非常谨慎，虽然他有权靠福音维生，但他却并没有接受来自哥林多教会的奉献，而且他知道哥林多人在“慷慨”上的问题，所以向他们做了了不起的榜样——为主耶稣而活，不求显著、即时的回报。在他人接纳之前，我们必须时常向他们展示我们的价值观。保罗很擅于察看周围的需求，并且以自己的生命为他人做榜样。就让我们下决心效法保罗的生命！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul was careful not to take support from the Corinthians even though it was his right as a minister of the Gospel. Instead, he knew their problems with generosity and showed them a greater example of living for Jesus without obvious and instant rewards. Often, we must show our values before others share them with us. Paul was a master at reading the needs around him and living in a way that was an example. He then would call them to follow his example as he followed the example of Christ (1 Corinthians 4:16, 11:1). By not receiving support for his ministry, Paul demonstrated to them that they needed to make a living with their own hands and be responsible (1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:11). Let's commit to following Paul's example and live with integrity before others.
我的祷告
阿爸父神、全能的主啊，请赐给我勇气和正直，使我活出生命的原则，从而祝福他人并且为他们做榜样。慈爱的天父啊，愿你祝福我的生命，使我因着你的荣耀而在他人的生命中留下烙印。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father God and Almighty Lord, please give me the courage and integrity to live my principles in a way that is a blessing and an example to others. Bless me, dear Father, with a life that makes a mark on others for your glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
