主的预备
“我的神必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们一切所需用的都充足。”
腓立比书4:19
你今天所缺少的是什么?暂时不要想着物质上的东西,在你灵魂深处,你最迫切需要的是什么?不要想那些只是一时填补空白的东西。没有一个堆积如山的仓库,最终能够真正为你提供你所需的一切。 在你的内心深处扩大你的搜索范围。深入挖掘,你到底缺什么?如果你找到了它,你的生活不只是充满,你的生活将要得到充实。
大卫最著名的诗篇23里,开头这样写道:耶和华是我的牧者,我必不至缺乏。在约翰福音四章中,耶稣对井边的撒马利亚妇人说了一句著名的话:“人若喝我所赐的水就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里头成为泉源,直涌到永生。”使徒保罗,不管在怎样的光景,完全相信主的话语,他写信这样劝勉腓立比的弟兄姊妹:
“我的神必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们一切所需用的都充足。”
(腓立比书4:19)
今日祷告:
亲爱的耶稣,无论我今天面对什么,是困苦还是喜乐,是忙碌还是休闲,我都邀请你进入我的生命。因为我实在不需要其他任何的东西。阿们。

Supply
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
PHILIPPIANS 4:19
What are you lacking today? Don’t think about material things for a moment. What is it that you are missing inside your soul that you so desperately need? Don’t think of something that just fills the void for a moment. No overstuffed and stocked-up warehouse could ultimately supply you with everything you actually need. Expand the search within yourself.
Dig deeper. What do you lack, and that if you found it, your life wouldn’t just be full, your life would be fulfilled?
The most famous psalm of David, Psalm 23, begins with these words: “The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need.” Jesus famously told the woman at the well in John 4: “Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” And having discovered that Jesus was true to his words no matter what circumstances he faced, the apostle Paul later wrote: And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Pray for the Day:
Dear Jesus, whatever I face today, whether hardships or joys or busyness or rest, I invite you into my life because I really don’t need anything else. Amen.
