对今日诗句的想法
通过约柜恢复了神在他的人民面前的存在，大卫和亚萨给人们这些经文作为一首歌来永远提醒他们寻求神的重要性，因为......我们的力量能在他身上找到......我们恩典源于他爱......我们希望是与他面对面，认识他正如他认识我们那样。我们必须着眼于主，不求和跟随自己的路。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
After restoring the presence of God to their people through the Ark of the Covenant, David and Asaph gave the people a song (1 Chronicles 16:7-37) to perpetually remind them of the importance of seeking God's strength and presence (face) because:
- Our strength is found in the Lord's presence (Psalm 27:2 Corinthians 12:8-10; Ephesians 6:10).
- Our grace and mercy come from the Lord's loving presence (Isaiah 63:7-9; 2 John 1:3).
- Our hope centers on seeing the Lord face-to-face in his presence and knowing him even as we are known by him (1 John 3:1-2).
As children of God, we can look to the Lord and his might. We don't have to rely only on our strength and wisdom to chart our paths. As we seek the Lord's face while leaning on his gracious and powerful presence, the Lord leads us with his Spirit, empowering us as he works in our lives for our ultimate good (Romans 8:12-17, 28-29).
我的祷告
主啊，我知道你创造了唯一的我，就像你在我母亲的子宫里就塑造了我那样 。然而，我知道我的生活永远不可能有你期望我去发现的自由和创造力，除非我把寻求你和你的力量摆在第一位。当我全心全力以创造性的方式给你带来荣耀的时候，请给我你一直临近在旁的保证。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
O Lord, I know you created me uniquely as you fashioned me in my mother's womb (Psalm 139:13-17). Yet I know I can never have the freedom or creativity in my life that you long for me to discover unless I first seek you and your strength. Please bless me with the assurance of your nearness as I seek you with all of my heart and use my abilities in creative ways to bring you glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
