对今日诗句的想法
上帝应许义与不义的筛分。耶稣在他的比喻中重复同样的宣言。对于上帝的人,其实这些都不是可怕的警告。相反,这些是承诺的话语。那些明智地荣耀上帝和为上帝而活的人将会大放异彩而有目共睹。那些引导他人正直地生活的人,在天父眼里会像星星一样闪烁!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God promised a sifting between the righteous and the unrighteous both in this life and before the life to come. Jesus repeated the same assurance of such a sifting in his parables. For God's people, however, promises to sift — to judge between righteous and unrighteous — are not fearful warnings. Instead, they are words of promise. Those who have wisely honored and lived for God and led others to him will shine brilliantly for all to see, and we will twinkle like stars in their Father's eyes... forever!
我的祷告
慈爱的上帝,谢谢你以你的恩典和善良拯救我。与此同时,父亲,当我看到恶人亨通而你的忠诚的仆人因他们的性格受到诽谤和嘲笑时,我感到沮丧。我很感激根据您的令人难以置信的恩典,你会审判我们!同时,我也感谢你给爱你的和因为他们的信仰而处于艰难困境,危险境地和被嘲笑的人,带来正义。请与他们同在,无论他们在哪里,给予他们力量坚持下去,直到那一天的到来。以耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Loving God, thank you for saving me by your grace and kindness. Father, sometimes I get frustrated when I see the wicked prosper while your loyal servants are maligned and ridiculed for their character. I'm thankful that you will judge us based on your incredible grace and your standard of righteousness! I'm also grateful you will bring justice for those who love you and who are enduring hardship, danger, and ridicule because of their faith. Please be with them, wherever they may be, and give them strength to persevere until that day of sifting arrives with glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
