对今日诗句的想法
不要被这个世界所陶造。噢,这条命令岂不是很难遵守?这句经文提醒我们,我们的思想是属灵争战最猛烈的战场之一。草率的想法不只是草率而已,更具有危险性,因为我们不断地在接收扭曲神的真理与圣洁价值观的信息。然而与其被世界的做法激怒,我们应当心意更新而变化,效法保罗——将一切意念和言语都顺服基督。我们常觉得十一奉献就是献上十分之一的金钱,然而更重要的十一奉献是献上十分之一思考的时间,专心关注神的事!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Don't be molded by the world. Wow, isn't that a tough one to obey. It's a reminder that what we think is one of the places of greatest spiritual warfare. Sloppy thinking is more than sloppy, it's dangerous because we are fed messages constantly that distort God's truth and holy values. But rather than being incensed by the world acting like the world, let's be transformed by renewing our minds and doing what Paul said he did — take every thought, every word, captive for Christ. We often think a tithe is giving ten percent of our money, but an even more vital tithe is giving ten percent of our totally undivided thought time to the things of God!
我的祷告
噢主啊,求你保守我的灵魂远离骄傲,保守我的心灵远离冷漠和刚硬,保守我的意念远离对微不足道之事物的关注以及对你的事情的忽视。求你教导我,使我心里明白何为以天父的事为念,尤其是在我的思想世界中。奉我最伟大的榜样,那认识并活出神旨意的主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
O Lord, please guard my soul from pride, my heart from callousness, and my mind from too much focus on unimportant things and not enough on your things. Teach me in my heart what it means to be about my Father's business, especially in the world of my thoughts! In the name of Jesus, my greatest example of one who knew and lived your will, I pray. Amen.
