不要忧虑
Be Not Anxious
当用各样的智慧,把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里,用诗章、颂词、灵歌,彼此教导,互相劝戒,心被恩感,歌颂神。
——西3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
—Colossians 3:16
基督徒要喜乐。要做到这点,你只需要去想神为你所做的伟大的事。然后我们被告知不要忧虑,只在祷告中让神知晓我们的祈求。在面对最大的难题时你有一位可以去到他跟前依靠的神,在他面前你可以倾心吐意,确信他会对你的难题给出答案。然后我们的心思意念里就充满这些美好的东西。这些经文中提到过的东西是真实的、可敬的、公义的、纯粹的、可爱的、被看为好和美德的。我们的思考就是建立在这些之上。积极而非消极地去生活。一旦你领会到这个秘密,神就将赐予你胜利。
Christians are to rejoice. To do that, you need only to think of the great things God has done for you. Then we are told not to be anxious, but in our prayers to make our requests known to God. In your biggest problems you have One to whom you can go; and before Him you can pour out your heart with the assurance that He will not leave you without an answer to that great problem. Then we are to fill our minds with those things that are good. They are mentioned in the Scriptures as being things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and of virtue. It is upon these things that we are to think. Live positively, not negatively. Once you learn that secret, God will have given you the victory.
