696  英翻中 (396)             The Ultimate Burden Bearer.         上帝是終極重擔負擔者.          3/8/2024

March 8.     The Ultimate Burden Bearer.  Bible reading: Phil. 2:19-30      Key verse : Psalm 55:22          3 月 8 日     終極負擔承擔者.                   讀經：腓立比 : 2:19-30           鑰節：詩篇 55:22

                Cast your burden on the Lord,                                                                                                                      And He shall sustain you;                                                                                                                              He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.                                                                                        把你的重擔卸給主,                                                                                                                                      祂必扶持你;                                                                                                                                                  祂絕不會允許義人動搖.

                 

        Shouldering the load of a fellow Christian's troubles is both hard and easy.  It's hard because often we are consumed with our own problems and have little time for another's pain.  It's easy because once we see Christ's power and wisdom unleashed to solve another's strait, we develop a taste for the spiritual advanture of burden bearing.                                                                                                                  負擔基督徒同工的煩惱既困難又容易.  很難, 因為我們常常被自己的問題困擾, 致使沒有時間去關心別人的痛苦.  但又很容易, 因為, 一旦看到基督釋放出祂的力量和智慧來解決別人的困境時,  我們就會操練出對負擔基督徒同工的煩惱的屬靈的奇蹟.

        It begins with a commitment to cultivate relationship with a few friends.  This is the right context for authentic sharing and caring,  We can't handle everyone's assortment of woes, but as we see in our Scripture reading for today, we can help bear the hurts of some, especially those friends with whom we have developed accountability and a tracck record of trust.                                                                                  它始於對一些基督徒同工培養朋友關係的承諾.  這是真正分享和關懷別人的困境正確背景, 我們無法處理每個人的各種困境,  但正如我們在今天的經文閱讀中看到的那樣 --- 把你的重擔卸給主 --- 這樣我們就可以幫助負擔並承受基督徒同仁的傷害, 尤其是那些主內朋友與我們已建立了有負擔感且有信任的延伸的記錄.

        Most people are reluctant to unload their burdens for fear of rejection.  Actually, many are not sure we really want to hear about their problems.  A phone call, a lettler, a lunch, a walk around the block are practical means to provide the opportunity for effective burden bearing.  Take the initiative.  Be sensitive and timely, but don't wait for the hurting person to knock on your door.                                             大多數人因為害怕被拒絕, 而不願意承擔.   事實上,  許多人並不確定, 我們是否真的想聽聽他們的問題.   一通電話,  一封信,  一頓午餐,  在街區散步,  都是提供有效分擔其重負的機會的可用方法.  重要的是要主動.  保持聖靈感動, 且要及時,  千萬別等到受傷的人前來敲你的門.

        Lean on God, and don't try to solve the problem alone.  Beneath the obvious issue can be a maze of root causes that only God can deal with through the Holy Spirit.  Trust Christ to guide, comfort, and provide.  Remember, He is the ultimate Burden Bearer.                                                                                      依靠上帝, 不要試圖依靠自已來解決問題.   在顯而易見的問題之下, 可能隱藏著錯綜複雜的根源, 惟有上帝才能透過聖靈來解決.  相信基督的引導, 安慰, 和供應.   記住, 上帝才是最終的負責者.

                    Father, thank You for the privilege of extending Your love by bearing the burdens of                                others to You in prayer.  Work through me to lighten their heavy load.                                                        我們的天父啊!  感謝祢, 有幸得到祢大愛的顯示, 透過禱告將他人的重負分擔給祢.                           透過我靠祢的作為, 減輕他們的重擔.
