对今日诗句的想法
我喜爱缅因州的海岸——崎岖的海岸线,绝妙的海浪,以及沿海岸线立于要塞的灯塔。当我观看暴风雨即将向海岸怒吼袭来时的黑暗,不禁思想我们的天父。在风暴中,闪电划过长空,狂风怒吼,海浪翻腾——与环境中的一切形成强烈反差的,是那指引道路的光,指引方向赐予盼望的灯塔。是的,耶和华,以色列的神,全能的创造者就是我们的光与拯救。我们的生命与永恒都交托于神。我选择不惧怕,将信靠交托于神。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
I love the coast of Maine. The craggy shorelines, the crashing surf, and the lighthouses perched at strategic and well-fortified points along the coastline. I cannot help but think of our heavenly Father when I watch the gloom gather as an impending storm noisily makes its way onshore. There, in the storm — with lightning ripping through the sky, winds howling, and the surf crashing — stands the light that guides the way, strong against the elements and a beacon of direction and hope. Yes, the Lord, Yahweh the God of Israel, the Almighty Creator of all things, is my light and my salvation. My life, the eternal part of me, is entrusted with him. I choose not to fear. I place my trust in him.
我的祷告
天父啊,感谢赞美你亘古不变的信实!感谢你坚定不移的慈爱祝福了每一代人,在黑暗中赐希望,在放荡中赐拯救,在软弱时赐力量。现在,我所爱之人中有些正经历着争战,他们需要你的同在向他们显明。我祈求你与他们同在,奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Father in heaven, I praise you for your faithfulness through the ages. I thank you for your steadfast love that has blessed each generation, giving hope in times of darkness, salvation in times of wantonness, and strength in times of weakness. Now I ask that you be with several people I love, who need your palpable presence as they fight their battles. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
