倚靠与行善
你当倚靠耶和华而行善,住在地上,以他的信实为粮;
诗篇37:3
要倚靠上帝。这是上帝对人最重要的信息。祂说了一遍又一遍。信靠上帝,不要依靠你自己的聪明,依靠你的上帝。让上帝来更新你,给你力量,保守你。其次,要积极行善。这是上帝给人的第二条信息。倚靠上帝,必然会让你关心他人。行善,不仅是上帝的命令,更是一种回应。因为人倚靠上帝,他们会因为上帝的爱而发生奇妙的改变,并愿意活出上帝的样式。
当人倚靠上帝并积极行善的时候,上帝必然祝福他们。如果社会和国家也如此行,就会变得安全、昌盛。记住这两件事,让上帝祝福你。倚靠耶和华行善,必得上帝的祝福。
今日祷告:
耶稣,求你帮助我做到这两件事。无论面临怎样的环境、心中受到怎样的压力,都要信靠祢;又要积极行善,以他人为先。阿们。

Trust, Do, and Then…
Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
PSALM37:3
Trust in the Lord. This was the Lord’s number one message to his people. He repeated it over and over again. Trust in the Lord, lean not on your own understanding, rely upon your God. Let him restore you, empower you, and sustain you. Do good. This was the Lord’s second message to his people. Trusting in the Lord led to an overflow of care for others. Doing good in life is a command, but it is actually more of a response too. When people trust God, they are so dramatically changed by his love that they learn to live in God’s patterns. Then, as people trust the Lord and do good, the Lord gives blessing. Communities and nations that learn to do these things become safe and productively fruitful places. Trust in the Lord, do good, and then watch God bless all that is around you.
Pray for the Day:
Jesus, help me to do these two things today. Help me trust you with whatever is ahead, with whatever is pressing on my mind and heart. And help me to put others first in all that I do. Amen.
