双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：7月18日 心灵的满足

7月18日

心灵的满足

你和利未人，并在你们中间寄居的，要因耶和华你 神所赐你和你家的一切福分欢乐。

——申命记26：11

通常，教会以消极的态度对待罪恶，却没有提醒我们上帝其实极喜悦我们在此时此地找到让生命得以满足的方法。我们基督徒往往谈论太多基督教的负面经验，以至于忘记强调每天与主相交的积极、喜乐、令人激动和靠主得胜的经验。神说，物质不会使人满足，唯有神能满足人心。心灵得以满足的秘诀就是：让你的灵魂饱得喜乐。移开障碍，拆除壁垒，让你的灵魂在与主相交的渴望中得到最深的满足。

今日祷告:

我的救主，祢如此慈爱良善，我无法用言语来描述对祢的感恩，请悦纳孩子对祢的爱和赞美。祷告奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Satisfaction of Soul

Thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee……  ——Deuteronomy 26:11

Often the Church has banged away negatively at evils without reminding us that God is tremendously interested in our finding a satisfying way of life here and now. We Christians have talked so much of the negative side of Christian experience that we have forgotten to emphasize the positive, joyous, thrilling, and victorious experience of daily fellowship with Christ. God declared that things will not satisfy. God satisfies! This is the secret of soul-satisfaction: Let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Remove the obstructions, tear down the barriers, and let your soul find the fulfillment of its deepest longings in fellowship with God.

Prayer for the day：

There are no words to describe my gratitude to You, my Lord and Savior, for Your loving kindness. Accept my praise and love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
