694 英翻中 (394)                                   Where Do You Go?            你往哪裡去？      3/6/2024

March 6.        Where Do You Go?     Bible reading: 2 Cor. 1: 8-11         Key verse: 2 Cor. 1:8           3 月 6 日       你去哪裡？                  讀經：哥林多後書 2 1: 8-11         鑰節：哥林多後書 2 章 1:8

                We do not want you to be ignorant,  brother, of  our trouble which came to us in Asia:                      that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength,  so that we despaired even of                    life.                                                                                                                                                                兄弟, 我們不想讓你們不知道我們在亞洲遇到的苦處：                                                                        我們背負著難以估量的負擔,                                                                                                                      超出了我們的力量，以至於我們甚至對生命感到絕望。                                                       

        When the world feels as if it is caving in around you and there is nothing you can do to change your circumstances, where do you go to find strength and hope?                                                    當你感覺到世界正在崩潰, 而你又無法改變自己的處境時, 你該去哪裡尋找力量和希望呢？

         In 2 Cor. 1:8, Paul told of being "hurdened beyond measure,  above strength, so that we despaired even of life. "  Whatever he was faceingg, the thought of impending death was on his mind.  Yet his hope did not rest in his human ability.                                                                                       在哥後1章8節中, 保羅談到 "我們被壓得無法估量, 和無法承受, 以致連活著都絕望了"   無論保羅面對什麼, 在他的腦海中都是死亡即將來臨的想法.  然而, 他的希望並不在於他的本人身上.

        The Person he turned to was the only One who could administer peace to his heart and truth to his mind.  Even though he despaired, he did not give up or give in to fears.  He ran to Jesus : "In whom we tust that He will still deliver us" ( 2 Cor. 1:10).                                                                        使徒保羅所求助的人是唯一能帶給他的心靈平安的上帝, 祂帶給他的思想真理的神.  儘管他感到絕望,  但他並沒有放棄或屈服於恐懼.  他跑向耶穌對說,  "我們信靠祂, 祂仍能拯救我們"（哥林多後書 1:10）

        From the world's perspective, there are many places you can go to find comfort.  But there is only one place you will find a hand to catch your tears and a heart to listen to your ever longing.  True peace comes only from God.  Nothing is so great that God is not greater still.                                    從世界的角度來看, 有很多地方可以去尋找安慰.  但只有一個地方, 你能找到幫助的上帝, 祂會來同情你的眼淚,  用祂的心來傾聽你永遠的渴求.   真正的平安只來自上帝.  沒有什麼比祂更偉大的了.

        Is there an urgency in your heart?  Something that threatens your emotional well-being as well as your ability to perform in life?  Take it to Jesus.  Run to Him.  He is your solid, unshakeable Source of strength in cruel and hurtful times, One who is faithful and One who is true.                                                                                                                                                                     你的心著急嗎？ 有什麼事情威脅到你的情緒健康, 以及你生活表現的能力呢？ 把它們都帶到耶穌跟前.  在殘酷和傷害的時, 祂是你的保障,  不可動搖的力量源泉,  祂是信實, 真實的人又是上帝.

            Heavenly Father, I run to You today.  You are the One who is faithful and true.  You are                  my unshakeable  Source of strength in difficult times.                                                                            我們的天父,  今天奔向祢祈求.  因祢是信實, 真存的子上帝.  祢是我在困難時期不可動搖                力量的泉源,
