对今日诗句的想法
服从的顺序总是相同的：上帝显露自己，上帝祝福我们，然后上帝要求我们做出回应。换句话说，上帝先祝福我们，然后再要求我们服从。上帝是全能的和最高的。他可以要求我们百依百顺，只是因为他是谁，但他没有这样做。他选择通过圣经，通过大自然，并通过他的救赎行动来显露自己。他要我们认识他，对他作出回应。我们的顺从可能是困难的。被呼吁服从有时另我们很难理解。但是，我们知道这呼吁之声出自付出巨大的代价来救赎我们和已经证明了自己忠实信心的天父。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The order of faithful obedience is always the same in Scripture: God reveals himself to us, blesses us with his grace, and then asks us to respond with obedience. In other words, God blesses us first and then asks us to obey — grace precedes the call to obedience! God is all-powerful and supreme. He could demand our obedience just because of who he is, but he doesn't. He has chosen to reveal himself through Scripture, nature, his acts of salvation, and most completely in Jesus. He wants us to know him and respond to him. Our obedience may be difficult. Our call to obey may sometimes be hard for us to understand. However, we know it comes from a Father who has paid an enormous price to redeem and adopt us into his family and has repeatedly proven himself to be gracious and faithful.
我的祷告
圣洁和全能的上帝，你值得所有的辉煌与荣耀。我知道你要求我应该要神圣，要遵守你的话，应该寻求你的意志，这些都是因为你渴望爱我，祝福我。我想以一颗不可分割的心来侍奉你。我希望就像你和我分享恩典一样，我兴高采烈并和蔼地服从你。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Holy and Almighty God, you are worthy of all glory and honor. I realize that your demands that I should be holy, obey your Word, and seek your will are all based on your desire to love me and bless me. I want to serve you with an undivided heart. I want my obedience to be offered as joyously and graciously to you as your blessings have been shared with me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
