解决难题
耶和华啊,祢必派定我们得平安,因为我们所做的事,都是祢给我们成就的。
——以赛亚书 26:12
就在几年前孩子们还兴高采烈地期待着去码头看大轮船进港,如今他们已经对直升机和喷气式飞机视若无睹。曾经我们对电报感到惊奇,如今我们却对更大的奇迹——电视机感到理所当然。不久前人们认为很多疾病是不可治愈的,如今我们有很多有效的药物,以致于先前的疾病很少再出现。毫无疑问,我们取得了巨大的成就。但是尽管取得了如此大的进步,我们依然没有解决人类面临的最基本的问题。我们可以建造最高的建筑物,最快的船,最长的桥,但是我们仍然不能掌管自己,无法平等相待,和平共处。
今日祷告:
我的救主耶稣基督,爱和被祢所爱,就是我所渴想的一切。祷告奉耶稣的名,阿们。

Solving the Problem
Lord, grant us peace; for all we have and are has come from you.
——Isaiah 26:12 (TLB)
Only a few years ago children were delighted at the prospect of a trip to the wharves to see the great ships come in. Today they are blasé about helicopters and jet planes. We who once marveled at the telegraph now take for granted the far greater miracle of television. Not so long ago many of the physical diseases were termed hopeless and incurable. Today we have drugs so effective that age-old diseases are becoming rare. We have accomplished much, of that there is no doubt. But with all this progress, we have not solved the basic problem of the human race. We can build the highest buildings, the fastest ships, the longest bridges——but we still can’t govern ourselves, or live together peacefully and with equality.
Prayer for the day:
In loving and being loved by You, there is all I have longed for, my Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
