对今日诗句的想法
耶稣在伯利恒诞生绝非偶然。许多年以前,全能的上帝通过他的先知曾预言这事。即使是希律王的宗教走狗可确定弥赛亚将出生在古色古香的大卫城。承诺的弥赛亚的诞生会发生在以色列最伟大的国王,诗人,和牧羊人的城中。这是上帝的计划。这也提醒我们,上帝保留他的话,并履行自己的承诺。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
The birth of Jesus at Bethlehem was no accident. The Almighty God had foretold this many years earlier through his prophet Micah. Even Herod's religious lackeys could determine that the Messiah was to be born in the quaint old city of David. The human birth of the promised Messiah would occur in the city of Israel's great King, poet, and shepherd, Bethlehem. This was God's plan, even though the town was otherwise of little significance or size. Jesus being born in Bethlehem is also a reminder that God keeps his word and fulfills his promises to bless and preserve his people and bring his Messiah.
我的祷告
慈爱的上帝,我觉得完成我的计划,履行我的诺言是很难的事。这使得你的计划的展开,整个旧约的蜿蜒的预言故事,让我惊奇。当我的灵魂处于黑暗的时刻,请用你的圣灵提醒我,你履行你的承诺,并会准时带来解脱。请让我耐心信实地等待,并勇敢地生活,因为你的救恩会完全显现出来。奉耶稣的圣名祷告。阿门。
My Prayer...
Loving God, I have a hard time trying to complete my plans and fulfill all my promises. This makes the unfolding of your plans as foretold throughout the winding story of the Old Testament, so amazing to me. You accomplished what you promised a thousand years earlier through the lives of thousands of people, involving many countries, and through the intrigues of countless world leaders! So, please use your Spirit to remind me during my soul's darker moments that you are going to fulfill your promises and bring your deliverance in your time. Please give me more patience as I seek to wait faithfully and to live courageously for your salvation to be fully revealed. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
