对今日诗句的想法
“死亡”——现今世界最令人厌恶的词,我们不愿想到死亡,更不愿提及。然而,“死亡”这一现实却不会离开我们。因为死亡,我们失去朋友和亲人,而我们也将在生命中面对必然的死亡,除非主耶稣在我们离世前降临。那么当面对无法回避的死亡,什么是我们的保障呢?我们的牧人!他将与我们同行,在行程中带领我们、保护我们、安慰我们。作为基督徒,这项应许更是坚固,因我们知道主耶稣是好牧人,他已经行过路程——确保我们经过死荫幽谷的尽头决非死亡,而是荣耀。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Death is the ultimate profanity in today's world. We don't like to think about it, much less talk about it. However, death is that one reality that will not leave us alone. We lose friends and family members to death. At one point in our lives, we too, will face this inevitability unless Jesus comes before our passing. So what is our assurance as we face the inescapable? Our Sheperd! He will walk us through, guiding and protecting and comforting us in our journey. And as Christians, this promise is only intensified because we know Jesus as our Good Shepherd, and he has taken the walk ahead of us to assure us that our walk through death's valley doesn't end in death, but in glory.
我的祷告
慈爱的天父,我的牧人,我的救主啊,感谢你使我无需独自面对死亡。我要寻求你的引导,我要听你的声音带领我行过死荫的幽谷,在得胜与喜乐中进入你圣洁而荣耀的同在。我充满信心地奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father, my Shepherd and Savior, thank you that I do not have to face death alone. I look for your guidance and listen for your voice to lead me through death's dark valley and bring me to your holy and glorious presence in victory and with joy. In Jesus' name I confidently pray. Amen.
