对今日诗句的想法
我们不可视这句经文为实现我们愿望清单的法门,而要看到这句经文的真正意图。这句经文其实是在邀请我们与神建立爱的关系,并视这个关系超乎一切。找到了神,我们就会发现所有事务的优先级都能合理地排序,我们内心就明白哪些事务有价值,哪些没有价值。然后我们就会晓得,我们心中最大的渴望都在他里面。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Rather than seeing this as a way to get our wish list granted, let's see it for what it really is — an invitation to seek a love relationship with God above all other things. In finding him, we will find our priorities properly aligned and our hearts tuned to know what is really valuable and what is not. Then we will see that what we have in him is our hearts greatest desire.
我的祷告
伟大而又恩慈的天父啊,我要向你承认,我心中时常充满自私。父啊,正是在这些时刻,我发现自己最需要的其实是你,我内心的渴望其实是你的旨意。求你让我心中的圣灵燃烧起来,使我能够看穿那些妨碍你在我生命居首位的诡诈的私心。当我小气、自私、肤浅时,求你饶恕我。愿我在活着的时候能够尽可能地认识你。这并非为了让我自己得满足,而是为了让你得荣耀。因着你的恩典,奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Awesome and Gracious Father, I confess to you that so often my heart is full of selfish things. But in moments like these, Father, I recognize that you are what I most need and your will is my heart's desire. Please kindle your Spirit in me so that I may see through any selfish deception that would rob me of having you first in my life. Forgive me when I'm petty, selfish and shallow. May I know you as much as possible for a mortal to know you, not so that I may be full, but that you may be honored. Because of your grace and in the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
