March 12 Seeking God. Bible reading :1 Peter 1:13-19 Key verse : Matthew 6:33 3 月 12 日 尋求上帝. 讀經 : 彼得前書 1:13-19 鑰節 : 馬太福音 6:33
Seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, And all these things shall be added to you. 先求神的國和神的義, 所有這些東西都要加給你們.
Do you long to hve a close relationship with God, but getting there seems a distant dream? In her book "His Imprint, My Expression," Kay Arthur helps you over some common hurdles to intimacy with the Lord. 你是否渴望與上帝建立親密的關係, 但似乎是遙不可及的夢想? 凱·亞瑟 (Kay Arthur) 在她的著作《他的印記, 我的表達》中, 它幫助你克服與主建立親密關係的一些常見的障礙.
Seeking God --- intimacy with God ---must be your priority. 尋求上帝 --- 與祂建立親密關係 --- 必須是你首要的.
Maybe knowing God intimately has not been a priority..... or maybe you're so overwhelmd by simply trying to meet the demands of daily living that you don't see how knowing God intimately at this stage in life could be a priority. That may be why you feel like you're treading water. You're not alone.... 也許親密地認識上帝, 並不是你的第一優先 ... 或它也許只是你為了滿足, 日常生活的需要而不知所措, 以至於你不明白在生命的這個階段親密地認識上帝, 如何可以成為你的第一優先事項. 這可能就是為什麼你感覺自己在踩在水中. 不只是你一個人如此....
Seeking God doesn't mean that you are to stop earning your living, but it does mean that you may have to be satisfied wth less, rather than working harder and longer hours in order to have more! 尋求神並不意味著要你停止謀生, 但它確實有使你在感到缺乏時, 可能得到滿足感, 甚至使你會打消意圖, 要更努力, 和更長時間的工作後, 是為了擁有的意念.
Seeking God may mean you will have to lay aside some of your time-consuming activities. Televsion, sports, bobbies..... may have to go and maybe some of your ambitions. But not your work. God says that if you don't work, you shouldn't eat. Besides, He promises that if you seek His Kingdom and His rigteousness, the basic s of life will be provided (Matthew 6:33). 尋求上帝可能意味著你將不得不放棄一些其他的喜好活動, 諸如, 電視, 體育, 喜愛事項等 ... 可能必須離開, 也許還要你拋棄一些野心. 但不是你的工作. 上帝說, "如果你不工作, 就不應該吃飯. 此外, 上帝答應給你, 如果, 你先尋求祂的國度和祂的公義, 其他有關你生活的一切必需,都會得到供應(太 6:33).
Of course, you'll never see the fullment of this promise until you do what God says. But when you begin seeking Him, God in His grace will move on your behalf ..... God keeps His promises! 誠然, 除非你照著上帝所說的去做, 否則你永遠不會看到這個應許的實現. 但當你開始尋求祂時, 上帝就會以祂白白的恩典為你作工…上帝信守祂的諾言!
Father, sometimes overwhelmed by the daily demands of life, but I really do want to make seeking You in prayer a priority. 我們的天父, 求祢時時滿足我們會日常生活的需要, 但我更確實想在禱告中, 尋求祢工作, 為首要的.
