双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：8月16日 饥渴慕义

8月16日

饥渴慕义

我要将生命泉的水白白赐给那口渴的人喝！

——启21:6

神说唯有那些饥渴慕义的人才能领受。神不把这天堂的吗哪硬塞给任何人。你必须渴望它，胜过一切。你对神的渴盼必须超越所有其他的渴望。必须像痛苦的饥饿和火烧的干渴一样渴盼。

今日祷告

全能的神啊，没有你所渴望赐给我的灵粮，我的灵魂就焦渴和饥饿。如果我生命中有什么会导致我不把你放在首位的，求你去除它！

Hunger for Righteousness

I will give to the thirsty the springs of the Water of Life—as a gift!

—Revelation 21:6 (TLB)

God says that only those who hunger after righteousness will receive it. God thrusts this heavenly manna on no one. You must desire it, above everything else. Your yearning for God must supersede all other desires. It must be like a gnawing hunger and a burning thirst.

Prayer for the day

Almighty God, my soul is parched and I’m so hungry without the spiritual food You so desire to give me. Take away anything in my life that would cause me not to give You pre-eminence.
