3月7日 上帝的标准
这道离你不远，正在你口里，在你心里。
——罗马书10：8
耶稣说，当我们认识到上帝进入心灵中所能带出的属灵力量时，我们便会感到快乐。然而圣经亦教导说我们的心灵都得了一种病。这病是世上一切问题之根，是我们自身遭遇麻烦、困惑、幻灭之源。这病有一个恶名，叫“罪”。人们都不愿谈论它，因为人都有骄傲，不愿承认自己犯错，或失败。但上帝说“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了上帝的荣耀”。我们没能活出上帝的标准。我们必须承认自己的罪，才能达致幸福、平安和满足。
每日祷告
上帝啊，骄傲让我不敢承认自己需要你的帮助。每一天，请帮助我认识到若不依靠你，我便一无所有。
March 7: The Divine Standard
For salvation that comes from trusting Christ . . . is already within easy reach of each of us . . .
—Romans 10:8 (TLB)
Christ said there is a happiness in that acknowledgment of spiritual poverty which lets God come into our souls. Now, the Bible teaches that our souls have a disease. It causes all the troubles and difficulties in the world. It causes all the troubles, confusions, and disillusionments in your own life. The name of the disease is an ugly word. We don’t like to use it. It is “sin.” All of us have pride. We do not like to confess that we are wrong or that we have failed. But God says, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” We have failed to live up to the divine standard. We must confess our sin as the first step to happiness, peace, and contentment.
Prayer for the day:
Pride kept me so long from acknowledging my need of You, Lord. Each day, help me to realize I am nothing without You.
