After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven saying, " Alleluia! Salvaton and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!" 這些事之後,我聽到天上有大聲呼喊著, “哈利路亞! 救恩, 榮耀, 尊榮, 和權能都屬於主我們的上帝!”
Jesus condemned the actions of the religious leaders who prayed loudly in the streets so that they would be seen and admired by others. The purpose of prayer is to communicatee humbly with God, not to gain the prise of men. In her book A Journey into Prayer, Evelyn Christenson relates her personal concerns in area: 耶穌譴責猶太宗教領袖禱告行為, 他們在街上大聲祈禱, 以便得到別人的注意, 和欽佩. 禱告的目的是為基督信仰者謙卑地與上帝交通, 而不是為了獲得個人的獎賞. 伊芙琳·克里斯新森 (Evelyn Christenson) 在她的《禱告之旅》一書中, 講述了她個人在以下領域的擔憂:
Wanting something for our own glory, not God's, is one reason why a prayer, although scriptureally accurate and acceptable to God, is ruined by our reason for praying it. 為了我們自己的榮耀而不是上帝的榮耀而想要一些東西,這就是為什麼禱告雖然符合 聖經並且被上帝所接受,但卻被我們禱告的原因所破壞的原因之一.
Some years ago, as I prayed my birthdy prayer for the coming year, my words simply were these: "God, You be glorified, not me! " And when the year ended, my praying for only His gloriy did not end. Praying the "right prayer" about God getting all the glory has been a learning process for me for a long time. 幾年前, 當我為自己的生日禱告時, 我的話語很簡單, "上帝啊, 願祢榮耀彰顯, 而不是 我的. " 當這一年結束時, 我只為祂的榮耀禱告, 並沒有結束. 長期以來, 我的學習的過程 一直是為上帝獲得祂應得的榮耀而進行 "正確的祈禱".
Through the years, I have prayed before speaking that I will not be seen as I speak --- only Jesus ... The greatest compliment I ever receive is when someone steps up to me and quietly says. "I saw Jesus standing there instead of you today." For His glory! 多年來, 在講道前先祈禱, 希望我禱告時不會被人看見——只有耶穌知道 … 我收到的 最大的讚美, 就是有人走到我面前輕聲說道. “今天我看到耶穌站在那裡, 而不是你. ” 為 了祂的榮耀!
My illustration or point may be very good in itself, but if my motive for bringing it is for my glory, God will not use it to move in the lives of those in my auddience. It has to be for His glory. 我的例證或觀點本身可能很好, 但如果提出例證或觀點的動機是為了榮耀我, 上帝就 不會用它來感動我聽眾的生活. 這必須是為了祂的榮耀.
Lord, reveal the motives behind my prayer. I don't want to pray for something for my own glory. I want my life to reflect Your glory. 主啊, 求祢揭示我祈禱背後的動機. 我不想為了自己的榮耀而祈禱. 希望我的生命是反映 祢的榮耀.
編輯者借用三峽大埧畫冊一頁, 以說明水力發電的原理. 藍色是水流經過的導管. 兩個近橢圓形的藍色點是水輪機剖面圖. 在上面紅色是發電機. 就這麼簡單. 但是我們老祖宗是務農的. 水力發電是混合電機工程, 機械工程及水利工程, 要全弄通才能弓. |
自從學水利工程, 與年青學子共研後, 總是想到黃河為什麼那麼難弄? 是老百姓太苦, 不開墾, 全家就等著挨餓, 所以到清朝, 流域水土保持的覆蓋只剩下至7%. 稍微大一點的雨, 就冲刷黃土, 造成黃色的河水. 至於堤岸被洪水衝破, 則另當別論, 因為皇帝都與大臣爭議, 都得不到圓滿的結果. 康熙皇帝問靳輔, 治黃河所得的濕地, 誰佔得了? 置老百姓命不顧, 只知為爭取土地所有爭吵.
編輯者未看過母親河, 但近年來由查看電腦得知, 在河套一帶築埧發電, 供老百姓生活必須的能源, 不要再上山砍樹燒飯; 且又有攔泥沙的作用. 教導老百姓種果樹救貧, 並增覆蓋. 因為有了能源, 種樹不會失敗, 但却是長久的事, 且有風險.
