707 英翻中 (407)                 The Value of Prayer.             祈禱的作為.                     3/19/2024       

March 19.          The Value of Prayer.      Bible reading : Joshua  1:1-9            Key verse : Joshua  1:8      3 月 19 日          祈禱的作為.                 讀經 :               約書亞記 1:1-9        鑰節 :     約書亞記 1:8

                This Book of the Law sall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and                       night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will                           make  your way properous, and then you will have good sucess.                                                                 這律法書不可離開你的口,  總要晝夜思想, 好使你謹守遵行這書上所記的一切話.  因為                   這樣你就會走上繁華的正路, 然後就會成功.

         The value of spending time alone with God in prayer cannot be underesrimated.  It's more than a spiritual exercise to be checked off as you move through your schedule for the day.  It's a vital part of your growing relationship with Jesus Christ.                                                                                                        在禱告中花時間與上帝獨處的價值是不可小覷的.  這不僅僅是一種屬靈操練,  需要在你完成當天的事功安排時進行檢查之後.   這是你與耶穌基督不斷發展的關係的重要組成部分.

        You learn to develop a quiet spirit.  When you stop the rush and bustle of the moment and sit before Him, the harriedfellings begin to melt away.  If you've done a good job of putting aside sll possible dietractions , you can focus on Him alone and feel His peace settle over you.                                       你學會培養安靜屬靈的操練.  當你停下一切喧囂,  並坐在主面前時,  煩惱就開始消失.  如果你已經做好拋開了所有可能的干擾,  你就可以單獨仰望祂,  並感受到基督的平安降臨在你身上.

        Your heart will be purified .  Your motives will be sifted, clarifying your ourpose and helping you view your life and circumstances from the perspective of God's Word.  He gives you this promise : "This Book of the Law sall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and                night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will make              your way properous, and then you will have good sucess" (Joshua  1:8).                                                             你的心將會淨化.  你的動機將篩選,  並且澄清你的立場,  且幫助你從上帝話的看法, 仔細檢討你的生活和處境.  祂給了你這樣的應許："這律法書不可離開你的口,  總要晝夜默想,  好使你謹守遵行這書上所寫的一切話.   如此,  你就必走上正直的道路,  就必亨通"（書 1：8）.

        You can confirm outside counsel.  If something others are telling you doesn't square with wat God says in prayer and the Word, then you know to reject others' advise. The Holy Spirit interprets Scripture to you read, reminding you of what you know and adding to your learning with further dimension of truth.                                                                                                                                                                      你可以確切判斷外來的建議.  如果別人告訴你的建議與上帝在你禱告中和祂的話不相符,  那麼你就知道立刻拒絕這些建議.  聖靈向你解釋聖經,  提醒你要知道的,  並更進一步增加你學習真理範疇.

                Lord, as I wait before You in prayer today, speak to me through Your Word.  Purify my                            heart, sift my motives, clarify my purpose, and help me view my circumsances from Your                        perspective.                                                                                                                                                    主啊,  求祢在我今天的禱告中, 等候祢面對面回應時,  藉透過祢的話語, 對我說話.  淨                     化我的心,  檢視我的動機,  澄清我的目的,  並幫助我從祢的看法處理我的境況.
