对今日诗句的想法
你能够想象牧羊人在经历那个夜晚后回到羊群的情形吗？他们见到了神的荣耀！他们经历了天使的显现！他们见到了刚诞生的王，神所应许的弥赛亚、世人的救主。更不可思议的是，这正是天使所告诉他们的。与天使的话语同样令人惊奇的，是这些话语荣耀地得以成就。除了耶稣降生时的身份，他也同样是神最伟大应许的成就，是神信守诺言最伟大的保证。不可思议的是，神选择了牧羊人——没有姓名，对他人来说无足轻重的人，见证并参与了神荣耀的救赎事迹。这正是我们天父的方式，提醒我们：不论我们是谁，主耶稣为我们降生，因为我们在主的眼中看为宝贵！
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Can you imagine the shepherds returning to their flocks after the night they had? They had seen God's glory. They had experienced the presence of angels. They had seen the newborn King, the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. Even more amazing, it was just as they had been told. As amazing as the angel's words of announcement had been, they were gloriously fulfilled. In addition to all that Jesus was at the moment of his birth, he is also the absolute answer to God's greatest promises and the greatest assurance that God keeps his word. Incredibly, God had chosen shepherds, unnamed to us and unimportant to their peers, to be the witnesses and participants in God's glorious story of salvation. It is our Father's way of reminding us that no matter who we are, Jesus came for us because we are important to him!
我的祷告
全能的耶和华神啊，我仅能想象那些牧人经历了你荣耀后的情景。慈爱的天父啊，但我懂得主耶稣对于我有多么重要。我要感谢赞美你！你以丰盛的慈爱爱我，并以你的恩典触碰我的心灵。我感谢你为我所做的一切，并要以感恩的心活出我的生命，愿你在此过程中洁净我，通过圣灵的工作使我成为公义。奉主耶稣荣耀之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Lord God Almighty, I can only imagine what it was like for those shepherds who experienced your glory. However, dear Father, I do know how much Jesus means to me. I praise you for loving me and reaching my heart with your grace. Sanctify me and make me righteous through the work of your Holy Spirit as I seek to live my life in appreciation for all that you have done for me. In Jesus' glorious name. Amen.
