对今日诗句的想法
上帝赐给西缅的礼物实在是宝贵又感人。然而，西缅只是所有国家、种族和文化当中寻求神救恩之人的化身。正如路加反复强调的，神的救恩是赐给所有人的！更重要的是，神的曙光已经开始照亮。让我们迎接这光，并与人分享。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God's gift to Simeon was truly precious and touching. Yet Simeon is just the embodiment of all of every nation, race, and culture who are seeking God's salvation. God's salvation, as Luke loves to remind us again and again, is for all people! What's more, God's light has dawned. Let's greet that dawn and share it with others.
我的祷告
万国的主啊，求你赐下平安给这片土地，并愿接下来的一年耶稣的名在万国当中被传扬开来。求你使我能敏锐地察觉我周围有哪些人需要你的恩典，又赐我勇气和合宜的话语同他们分享。求你激发我的慷慨之心，去对待那些在世界各地传扬你福音的人。撒旦使人远离恩典，沉沦在黑暗中，求你捆绑撒旦的工作。求你使你的话语在世界各地都被传扬开，好使你的国得胜。奉耶稣的名求，阿门！
My Prayer...
Lord God of all nations, not only do I pray for peace on our earth, but I pray that the knowledge of Jesus may be spread to every nation this coming year. Please make me more sensitive to those around me who need your grace. Give me courage and the right words to say to open their eyes to your salvation. Stir me to be generous with those who are spreading your Gospel throughout the world. Bind the work of Satan. Prevent the evil one from keeping whole nations in darkness. Please use me to help make a way for grace to bring your salvation to their darkness. Make your Kingdom triumph through the triumph of your grace throughout the world. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
