心灵的平安
“又要叫基督的平安在你们心里作主；你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心。”
歌罗西书 3:15
一天当中，忧虑是不是总会在某个时候占据你的心？要记得你蒙召是要让平安占据你的心。有谁能通过忧虑来解决那些无法解决的问题呢？没有人会认为，假如我忧虑，一切就会好起来。不会的。 若是你肆意忧虑，你就会被它所辖制。你应该让平安，而不是忧虑来主宰你的心。
但是，怎样做呢？当晓得你靠自己是得不到平安的。如果你打算谁都不靠只靠自己去获取，只能让自己承受更多的压力。重要的是，要认识到平安只能来自于耶稣。耶稣乐意赐给人平安，尽管他们曾经远离他。你看，平安其实是一种关系的修复。平安，看上去不是要你一切都自己扛，而是你与其他人一起，学习信靠耶稣，活出祂的生命。
今日祷告：
耶稣，求祢让你的平安在我心里做主。让我感谢你为我所做的一切。阿们。
April 28 – Peace Rules
And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
CO LO S S I A N S 3 : 1 5
Does anxiety get the best of you at moments throughout your day? Remember that you are called to let peace get the better of you. For who, by worrying, can solve the unresolvable? No one thinks, “Maybe if I worry enough everything will get better.” No, if you let it, worry will play a mad king over your heart.
Peace, not worry, is to reign in your heart. But how? You’ve learned you cannot attain peace on your own. If you try to grab it without help from anyone, you’ll simply snag more stress. It is important to recognize that peace comes from Jesus. And he loves to give it to people who once were separated from him. You see, peace is the restoration of relationship. Peace does not look like you, by yourself, trying to hold it all together. Rather, it looks like you and others learning to entrust your lives together in Jesus.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, let your peace have ownership of my heart. Let me be thankful for all that you have done and are going to do. Amen.
