709 英翻中 (409)                            A Season of Waiting.              適當等待的時刻.     3/21/2024

March 21.   A season of Waiting.        Bible reading : Psalm 25; 1-22        Key verse : Matthew 7:7          3 月 21 日.  適當等待的時刻.             讀經：            詩篇 25； 1-22       鑰節：        馬太福音 7:7

                Ask, and it will be given to you;  seek and you will find; knock,                                                                and it will be open to you.                                                                                                                            祈求,  就給你們;   尋找,  你們就尋見;                                                                                                        敲門,  就為你們開門.

        Is there some prayer that you have been longing for God to answer?  Maybe your longing for this one prayer to be answered has continued for months or even years.  Temptation comes and you feel like giving up.  You think.  Where are You, God?  And how will I ever get beyond this point of need?                   有沒有什麼禱告是你一直祈望上帝回應的？  也許你對這個祈禱得到回應的渴望,  已經持續了幾個月甚至幾.  誘惑來了,  你想放棄.   你懷疑的猜想.   上帝啊,  祢在哪裡？ 我如何才能越過這需要的祈求呢？

         God operates along a perfectly designed time line.  He knows what you need and when to provide it.  But He wants you to learn how to trust Him for the blessings He has planned. Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desires of your heart, " declared the psalmist.  "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:4-5).  Seeking God involves delighting yourself in His faithfulness, praising Him for His goodness, and loving Him because He cares for you.
         上帝按照祂完美的設計時間運作.  祂知道你需要什麼,  以及提供最恰當的時間,  但希望你學會如何相信祂為你計劃的祝福.  也要以主為樂;  詩篇作者宣稱, "祂必將你心裡所求的賜給你,"  "將你的道路交託給耶和華,  也要信靠祂,  祂就成就這事"（詩篇  37:4-5）.   尋求上帝使你喜樂, 因祂的信實要讚美祂,  因祂的良善而熱愛上帝,  因為祂照顧你.

          At times, God requires a season of waiting before He sends His blessing.  Then trust becomes your greatness asset.  If you don't trust God with your need, you will cry out in fear and panic.  At one point during a storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples thought they would perish.  But Jesus commanded the wind and waves to be still.  He taught those men how to trust Him even in the most tempestuous of circumstances , and He is teaching you to watch and wait for His outstretched arm.  As you wait in His presence today, receive peace --- for He is with you.                                                                  有時,  上帝需要在祂的時間裡, 才能賜福給我們.  那麼信靠祂,  就會是我們的偉大資產.  如果你們不相信上帝會垂聽你們的禱告, 滿足你們的需要,  你們就會以恐懼和痛哭向祂呼救,  在加利利海上的風暴中,  門徒一度認為他們會被風暴淹沒.  但耶穌命令風浪立刻止息.  祂教導門徒,  即使在最艱苦的境遇中,  也要信靠祂,  並且祂教導他們,  警醒並仰望祂伸出大能的膀臂.   今天,  當你在祂顯現的面前仰望時,  我們會得到平安,  因為祂與我們同在.

            Father, I delight in Your faithfulness.  As I wait in Your presence, I praise You for                                    Your goodness and what You have planned for me in the future.                                                                 我們的天父啊!   求祢使我們因祢的信實而喜樂.  當我在祢顯現中等待時,  讚美祢的良善                以及祢對我未來的計劃.
