对今日诗句的想法
神的许多杰出领导者都曾陷落在愤怒、沮丧、失望与失控之中。“带领”有时会是极度令人失望的任务。然而如果没有信仰坚定、十分敬虔且强有力的领导者，神的百姓将会败坏。尽管有些领导者的失败或危险的环境会困扰那些选择承担领导职分之人，但领导力的荣耀与其重要性等同！如果没有摩西、约书亚、希西家王或大卫王...，以色列民会如何呢？因此，如果神呼召你担任领导者，切不可轻慢神的邀请，更请接受神的呼召！如果你不是领导者，请为你的领导者及其家人祷告。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Moses' anger controlled him in his reaction to the Israelites when he saw the golden calf they had demanded Aaron make while Moses was on the mountain with God receiving the Ten Commandments. Anger, frustration, disappointment, and loss of self-control have sunk many of God's most significant leaders — even when what they have seen is horrible and dishonoring to God. Leading can be an agonizing and disappointing task, yet God's people would perish without strong leaders full of godly conviction. Despite the failure of some of our leaders and the perils that can beset those who choose to lead, leadership is as honorable as it is vital! Where would Israel have been without Moses or Joshua or Hezekiah or David...? So if the Lord is calling you to lead, don't accept his invitation lightly, but please, accept it! If you are not a leader, please remember to pray for your leaders and their families as they seek to honor God through their leadership (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13; Hebrews 13:7-8, 17).
我的祷告
圣洁的主啊，请祝福我们的教会，赐予我们充满信心、勇气、忍耐与正直的领导者！当你通过我们的带领者呼召我们侍奉你时，愿主赐予我们勇气去回应你的呼召。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Holy Lord, please bless your Church with leaders of great faith, courage, endurance, and integrity. Open my heart to my leaders and use me to bless and encourage them. Bless those you've gifted to lead with the courage to answer you when you call them to serve you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
