双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：5月6日 为自己寻求上帝

5月6日

为自己寻求上帝

你们当晓得耶和华是神！我们是祂造的，也是属祂的……

——诗100:3

每当有人问我，我如何如此确定真正的上帝是谁，他是怎么样的上帝，我就会想起一个小男孩放风筝的故事。这是一个放风筝的好天气，微风徐徐，波浪起伏的朵朵云彩被吹过天空。风筝越飞越高，直到完全隐藏在云彩后面。“你在做什么？”一个人问这个小男孩。“我在放风筝”他回答到。“你在放风筝？”这个人问。“你如何确定你在放风筝，你看不见你的风筝呀。”“是的，”小男孩说，“我看不见它，但每隔一会，我会感觉一下拖轮，所以我确定风筝就在那儿！”不要相信别人的话。为你自己寻找上帝，你也会通过你心弦里美妙、 温暖的拖轮知道上帝就在那里，很确定。

今日祷告

哦，天父，当我寻求祢时，我感觉到圣灵的“拖轮”，圣灵告诉我祢确实存在。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

Seek God for Yourself

Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves……
—Psalm 100:3

Whenever anyone asks me how I can be so certain about who and what God really is, I am reminded of the story of the little boy who was out flying a kite. It was a fine day to go kite-flying, the wind was brisk, and large billowy clouds were blowing across the sky. The kite went up and up until it was entirely hidden by the clouds. “What are you doing?” a man asked the little boy. “I’m flying a kite,” he replied. “Flying a kite, are you?” the man said, “How can you be sure? You can’t see your kite.” “No,” said the little boy, “I can’t see it, but every little while I feel a tug, so I know for sure that it’s there!” Don’t take anyone else’s word for God. Find Him for yourself, and then you too will know by the wonderful, warm tug on your heartstring, that He is there, for sure.

Prayer for the day：

Oh heavenly Father, as I reach out to You I feel the “tug” of Your Holy Spirit, which tells me of Your presence! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
