拥抱未来
“因为神赐给我们,不是胆怯的心,乃是刚强、仁爱、谨守的心。”
提摩太后书1:7
展望未来几年的生活,默想一下上帝给你的异象。不要担忧那些无法控制的事,反要思考耶稣希望你成为怎样的人。想想神正预备要你做的事情。 当你的脑海中有这样一幅蓝图时,问一问自己,从今日到那时,耶稣要你做些什么来预备明天 ?思想未来,既令人振奋又令人激动,对你来说,上帝的长远目标似乎显得遥不可及或是模糊不清。然而,与此同时,当耶稣让你人生的脚步变得清晰时,你就会兴奋不已,迫不及待。就像一位要做母亲的人, 憧憬着拥抱自己的宝宝。你也要以信心、仁爱和谨守的心,看待神在你生命中的计划。
今日祷告:
主耶稣,求你克服我的犹豫和胆怯,给我一颗勇敢的心去为你做工。阿们。
June 20 – Spirit of Power
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7
Look ahead a few years into your life. For this moment right now, as you envision the potential God has for you, don’t let yourself worry about things that are out of your control. Instead, think about the type of person Jesus wants you to be. Consider the sorts of things he is preparing you to do. As the picture takes shape in your mind, ask yourself: Between now and then, what would Jesus want me to do today to get ready for tomorrow? Contemplating your future can be both overwhelming and exciting. God’s long-term goals for you can seem too far away or even too blurry. Yet, at the very same time, as Jesus brings clarity to your steps, they could send your heart racing in anticipation for what is ahead. Just like an expectant mom who is waiting to hold her child in her arms, treat each day with the confidence, love, and self-discipline that you need to bring about God’s plans in your life.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, overcome my hesitations to do what you want me to do. Give me a new boldness of heart and hands today. Amen.
