双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月17日 寻求平安

10月17日

寻求平安

坚心倚赖你的，你必保守他十分平安，因为他倚靠你。

——赛26:3

你正在寻找平安吗？你渴望得到它吗？你认为挣很多的钱就会得到平安，但是却得不到；你以为你会在获取和积累大量知识的过程中得到平安，所以你竭尽全力去获得所有能获得的学位，但是仍然得不到平安。

你寻求世上的宗教，但是却得不到平安；你尝试过成千上万种方式，试图寻找平安，但始终找不到。当你凭着信心来到基督面前，他就赐给你圣灵，从而结出圣灵的果子，并赐给你出人意外的平安。

今日祷告

主啊，你的同在使我内心充满平安，祢使我看到，祢——我的天父，就是我所需要的一切。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

Searching for Peace?

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee …
—Isaiah 26:3

Are you searching for peace? Are you longing for it? You thought you would find it if you made a lot of money, but you didn’t find it. You thought you would find it in getting and accumulating a lot of knowledge, so you got all the degrees you could, but you didn’t find it, this peace.

You’ve searched the religions of the world, but you haven’t found it. There are a thousand ways you’ve turned, trying to find peace, but you haven’t found it. When you come to Christ by an act of faith, He gives you the Holy Spirit who produces the fruit of the Spirit and gives you the peace that passes all understanding.

Prayer for the day
Your presence fills my mind with peace, Lord, bringing into perspective all that I need—You, my heavenly Father.
