双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月21 我们需要神

10月21

我们需要神

基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望。

——西1:27

有一个很古老的问题——人类可以自救，还是需要神来拯救？这个问题始终都在引起全世界激烈的争论。只要世界在发展，人类就会建造巴别塔，塑造他们的偶像，创造他们自己的意识形态。现在，就像以往的每一个历史时期一样，人们认为不需要神，自己也可以管理这个世界。

或许，他们可以管理经济、知识以及社会。但是在理性的外表下是空虚——只有耶稣基督可以满足。历史上最令人震惊的事实就是伟大全能的神能够住在你的心里，无论你是谁。

今日祷告

亲爱的主，你填满了我内心的空虚和渴望，我需要圣灵的同在。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

A Need for God

Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory.
—Colossians 1:27 (TLB)

The age-old issue, “Can man save himself, or does he need God?” is still raging across the world as furiously as ever. As long as the world goes on, people will build towers of Babel, fashion their graven images, and invent their own ideologies. Now, as in every period of history, people think they can manage without God.

Economically, they may manage; intellectually, they may manage; socially, they may get by. But down underneath the surface of rational man is a vacuum-a void that can be met only through Jesus Christ. The most astounding fact of all history is that the great and almighty God of heaven can live in your heart. It makes no difference who you are.

Prayer for the day
You fill the emptiness and longing of my soul. I need the presence of Your Spirit, dear Lord.
