双语灵修(葛培理牧师):10月10日 公义的满足

公义的满足
我的神必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们所需用的一切都充足。
——腓4:19
人类渴望食物,神就把阳光和雨露撒在金色的田地里,谷子被制成面粉,面粉被制成面包,人的身体需求就得到满足。人们渴望爱情,神就在另一颗心中点燃爱火,两颗心就在神圣婚姻的纽带中完美结合。
人类渴望知识,神就兴起了教育机构,使人们成为教导者,并赋予他们丰富的知识,人类对知识的渴求就得到满足;人们需要相交共处,神让他们建造城市,在那里人们可以分享产业、知识和技能。
不要认为神只是供应人们丰富的物质而让他们的灵魂挨饿!……神会满足那些渴求祂公义的人,因为神以他永恒的慈爱在爱这个世界。
今日祷告
天父,祢丰富地供应了我最大的需求,因为祢给了我爱!奉主耶稣基督的圣名,阿们!
Satisfied by Righteousness
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:19
Man hungers for food, and God sends the sun and rain upon the golden fields of grain. The grain is made into flour, and flour into bread, and man’s physical hunger is satisfied. Man hungers for love; and God ignites the fire of affection in another heart, and two hearts are made complete in the bonds of holy matrimony.
Man hungers for knowledge, and God raises up institutions of learning, calls men to be instructors, puts it into the hearts of the rich to endow them; and men are satisfied in their thirst for knowledge. Man hungers for fellowship; and God allows him to build cities where men can share their industry, and their knowledge, and their skills.
Don’t tell me that God can supply man with an abundance of everything material and yet will let him starve spiritually! . . . God will satisfy the hunger and thirst of those who desire His righteousness because He loves the world with an undying affection.
Prayer for the day
You have abundantly supplied my greatest need, heavenly Father, for You have given me love.
