与主同工
“这样,信心若没有行为就是死的。”
雅各书2:17
夏季活动即将来临。你有什么活动计划吗?打工多挣些钱吗?骑自行车?日光浴?冰咖啡?野炊?篝火?棒球比赛?有没有想过参加一个宣教项目?帮助一个夏令营?假期儿童圣经班?辅导年纪轻的学生?夏日祷告小组?托儿所义工?派送食物?
你是否知道,你完全可以在夏季活动里将自己的信仰付诸行动?
当你的所有活动都围绕着耶稣时,你就会得到真正的经历。你的自行车旅行会更让你兴奋,因为你看到神所创造的一切都会让你从内心发出赞美。你的暑期工作也变得更有价值,因为你既在工作中见证了信仰,又为将来存了钱。你的宣教事奉也更充实,因为这些项目成为你每周的常规活动。
这个夏天不要把你的信仰与实际生活分开。信仰不是孤立的,生活也不是孤立的。信仰 和生活彼此建立,这样你就会看到你的生命有耶稣的见证。
今日祷告:
主耶稣,不要让我把祢看作可有可无。你是我生命的中心。阿们。
June 6 – Saturate
So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
JAMES 2 : 1 7
Summer adventures are just around the corner. How do you plan to spend your days? Earning as much money as possible through work? Bike rides? Sunburns? Iced coffees? Picnics and bonfires? Baseball games? How about a mission project? Or helping at a camp? Or a Vacation Bible School? Mentoring younger students? Summer prayer group? Volunteering at a local youth drop-in center? Food-packing events?
Did you know you have permission to put your faith into action this summer? True adventure happens when all of your activities become saturated with Jesus. Your bike rides become more exhilarating because every aspect of creation you see produces praise from your heart. Your summer employment becomes more rewarding because you practice faithfulness and integrity while saving for your future expenses. Your intentional ministry projects become more fulfilling because they become regular features to your weekly routines.
Don’t segregate your faith from your practical life this summer. Faith doesn’t live that way and life doesn’t truly work that way either. Saturate faith and life with one another, for then you’ll see your life reflecting Jesus in this world.
Pray for the Day:
Lord Jesus, don’t let me treat you like an add-on to my life. You are the center of my life. Amen.
