对今日诗句的想法
神为我们所成就的何等多!他是支撑我们生命的力量与应许。他是拯救我们脱离罪与死亡的神。对神的作为的感恩,对神的认识,以及对神将要成就之事的盼望,带来了我们对神的敬拜。但是敬拜决不能被划分为仅在教会场所或灵修时间进行的事务。敬拜包含生命的方方面面。这就是为何让我们的言语和心思顺服于神的旨意和工作是如此重要。私下的敬拜,不论是独自一人或是在基督徒群体中间敬拜,都是将我们的心灵和生命归向神的时刻。这样,我们公众的敬拜,以及我们在世上所活出的见证,都在向这个未曾听闻神旨意的世界歌唱从神而来的音符。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God does so much for us. He is the Strength and Promise that undergirds our lives. He is the One who has saved us from sin and death. Our worship comes from our gratitude for what he has done, recognition of who he is, and anticipation of what he is going to do. But worship can never be compartmentalized to just fit into church places or quiet times. Worship involves every aspect of life. That is why it is so important for us to tune the words of our mouths and the motives of our hearts to God's will and work. Then private worship, whether alone in quiet or in a group with Christians, becomes the tuning time for our hearts and lives so that our public worship, our lives lived out in the world, will play the song of God to a world who has not yet heard his tune.
我的祷告
噢,圣洁、全能的神啊,愿今天成为敬拜并荣耀你的日子。愿我的生命赞美你,不仅体现在思想言语上,更体现在行为上。奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
O Holy and Almighty God, I want this day to be a day of worship and honor to you. May my life praise you: not just in thought, not just in words, but also in action. In the name Jesus I pray. Amen.
