双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月9日 力量的源头

10月9日

力量的源头

你们要先求他的国和他的义，这些东西都要加给你们了。

——太6:33

一个人如果总是关注经济收益、商业利益、社会声望或者把全部的感情寄托在一个人身上，当这些被赋予生活意义的事物被否认时，他就会经历巨大的失落感。在这悲痛的时刻，他就会意识到自己是多么害怕、多么孤独。

在那一刻，或许圣灵会将世俗的束缚从他眼中挪去，使他第一次可以清楚地意识到只有神才 是真正力量的源头，也是永恒之爱和陪伴的唯一源泉。

今日祷告

主啊，我从深处看到只有你是永恒不变的爱。帮助我把你放在一切的首位。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

The Real Source of Power

But seek ye first the kingdom of God . . .
—Matthew 6:33

A man or a woman who has been focusing all attention on financial gains, or business, or social prestige, or who has centered all his affection on some one person, experiences a devastating sense of loss when denied the thing that has given life its meaning. In these tragic moments, the individual recognizes how terribly and completely alone he is.

In that moment the Holy Spirit may cause the worldly bandages to fall from his eyes so that he sees clearly for the first time. He recognizes that God is the only source of real power, and the only enduring fountainhead of love and companionship.

Prayer for the day
From out of the depths, Lord, my eyes have seen that only You are unchanging, eternal love. Help me to put You first in everything I do.
