对今日诗句的想法
我们的追求何其多,然而只有一样追求能够带来智慧。保罗提醒雅典人,神使我们寻求他,并找到他(使徒行传17章)。箴言的智慧不断让我们意识到,“认识神”并且对神心存深深的敬畏才是智慧的源泉。只有当我们先认识主,在日常生活中更认识他,我们才能明白事情的轻重缓急、我们的需求、人生的目的和目标,以及各类问题和事务的解决办法。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
We pursue so many things, but only one pursuit brings wisdom. Paul reminded the Athenians that God made us to seek after him and find him (Acts 17). The wisdom of Proverbs keeps leading us back to "knowing God" and having a deep and reverential awe toward him as the source of wisdom. Understanding of priorities, needs, purposes, goals, problems, and issues can only occur when we first recognize who the Lord is and know him in our day to day lives.
我的祷告
圣洁、伟大、公义、永生的神啊,我承认自己对你的认识远不及你对我的认识。你在我生命中彰显的信实,你在历史长河中彰显的大能,你透过基督的十字架赐予万人的恩典,你所赐下将带我回天家的应许,这一切都在扶持着我。我渴望认识你,使我的生命能够顺服在你的旨意之下——不是为了自己的荣耀或益处,而是为了你的名能得称颂。求你在我今天的一切工作中,向我显明你自己。奉主耶稣之名求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Holy, Majestic, Righteous, and Eternal God. I confess that I know you so much less than you know me. But your faithfulness in my life, your power displayed in history, your grace shared with so many through the cross of Christ, and your promise to bring me home to you one day all help sustain me. I want to know you so that my life can be lost in your will — not for my glory or gain, but for your praise, I ask that you make yourself known to me in the things I do today. In the name of Jesus I ask it. Amen.
