对今日诗句的想法
我们应该怀着敬仰之心崇拜神,因为他是一团烈火!嗯,这是什么意思?焦点在于他的圣洁吗?这是判断的警告吗?这是他的纯洁的表达吗?是的是的是的!!!你看,神是神圣,纯洁和正义的。我们的不完美,缺陷,故障,和罪孽与他的完美相比相形见绌,然而,他没有用神圣之火来毁灭我们,而是使我们比以前更新更纯净。因此,我们不仅可以因为耶稣可以更接近他,我们也可以在耶稣的生活里更接近他(见希伯来书13)。亲爱的朋友,那就是以最虔诚的心来祷告。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We should worship God with reverence because he is a consuming fire! Mmm. What does that mean? Is the focus on his holiness? Does this warn of judgment against sin? Is this an expression of his purity? YES, YES, YES! You see, God is holy, pure, and righteous. Our imperfections, flaws, failures, and sins stand out glaringly compared to his perfection. Yet rather than destroying us with his holy fire, God longs to make us new, clean, and so much more than we once were through the cleansing and empowering presence of his sacred fire, the Holy Spirit, within us (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Not only can we draw near to him because of Jesus, but we also can stay near him as we live Jesus' life in our world as our daily worship (Hebrews 13:1-16; Romans 12:1-2). That, dear friend, is reverential worship at its finest!
我的祷告
公正和圣洁的上帝,请原谅我的罪,我的缺乏勇气和我未行使的信仰。谢你没有破坏你的圣洁,而是牺牲了你的儿子,以你的恩典完善和净化我,以使我来到了你的跟前。在这个星期里,希望你的圣洁因我的行动而更崇高,并反映在我的性格里。以耶稣基督,我的主和救主的名义,我祈求。阿门。
My Prayer...
Righteous and holy God, please forgive me for my sin, lack of boldness, and unexercised faith. Thank you for not compromising your holiness but sacrificing your Son to perfect and purify me by your grace so I can come before you. As I live this week, may your holiness be exalted by my conduct and reflected in my character. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
