双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月2日  日常操练

10月2日 

日常操练

我深信那在你们心里动了善工的，必成全这工，直到耶稣基督的日子。

——腓1:6

成为一名基督徒不仅仅是瞬间的转变，这也是日常的操练，使你越来越像基督的样式。起初你就像一个婴儿，需要依靠圣经的喂养，然后有属灵的生活，并且逐渐学会走路。起初你会跌倒、犯错，但同时你也在成长。然而很多人已经停止成长，他们一辈子就停留在属灵的婴儿时期。恐怕现今这种现象太普遍了，也许包括你在内。

你还记得当你把自己的心和生命交给基督的那一天吗？那时候你是完全得胜的人。藉着基督成为胜利者是多么简单的事情啊！成千上万的基督徒处于挣扎中。

现今基督教世界最需要的是：基督徒要学习每天战胜罪的秘诀。

今日祷告

天父，我时常跌倒，但是你如此爱我，赐给我够用的力量去忍耐。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

A Daily Process

He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
—Philippians 1:6

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion. It is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. When you start out, you start out as a baby. You must be fed on the simple things of the Bible, and you learn to walk in your Christian life gradually. At first you will fall down and make many mistakes, but you are to continue growing. However, there are many people who have stopped growing. They remain spiritual babes all their lives. I am afraid that this experience is all too common today. Perhaps it is yours.

Do you remember the day when you gave your heart and life to Christ? You were sure of victory. How easy it seemed to be more than conqueror through Christ who loved you. Thousands of Christians have struggles with themselves. The great need in Christendom today is for Christians to learn the secret of daily victory over sin.

Prayer for the day
Father, I fall so many times but how lovingly You give me Your strength to endure.
