5月23日 扎根成长
按照你们所受的教导在祂里面扎根成长,信心坚固,满怀感恩。
西2:7
你知道自己应该是一个成年人了,这真是一种压力和烦恼。社会上已经充满了成年人。很多人还没有接受耶稣之前就匆匆忙忙地成年了,他们比那些任性的小孩子更幼稚!他们还是整天会说:“这是我的!” “这是我要的!” “这是我应得的!” 这就是当今成年人的口头禅。
贪婪是没有止境的。追求成就感却永远得不到满足。
所以,圣经给了我们一条不同的道路:在耶稣里成长。除了耶稣,人们不需要再盲目追逐。与其试图一切靠自己,不如在耶稣里成长。扎根于耶稣,将生命建立在祂的里面。每日从耶稣那里汲取养分,对于祂所赐予你的一切丰盛,满怀感恩。
今日祷告:
主耶稣,今天我把自己的一切全然交托给祢。阿们。
May 23 – Rooted
Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
CO LO S S I A N S 2 : 7
You’ve been told you’re supposed to be an adult. What a ridiculous pressure that is. Society is already too full of grown-ups. Many of them, who rushed to become adults without grounding themselves in Jesus, are more childish than the most tantrum-crazed kids. “Mine!” or “I need this!” or “I deserve this!” are common mantras for today’s adults.
People who keep adding other things to their lives in pursuit of fulfillment are never satisfied. That’s why the Bible suggests a different way to grow: down in Jesus. People don’t need to pursue anything more, unless it is more of him. So instead of growing up and standing on your own, try growing down into Jesus. Root yourself in him. Build your life in him. Draw from him all the nourishment you’ll need for each day. Overflow with gratitude for his abundance within you.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, today I place all of who I am in you. Amen.
