双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：12月4日 不必忙碌

12月4日

不必忙碌

但忍耐也当成功，使你们成全完备，毫无缺欠。

——雅各书1:4

这是一个高度紧张、神经过敏、缺乏耐心的时代。我们忙碌仅仅是为了忙碌——毫无理由的忙碌。这个快节奏的年代比以前的世代产生了更多的问题，更缺乏道德，也使得我们每个人都心烦意乱。焦躁促使更多的破碎家庭出现，更多的腐败，为更多的世界战争奠定了基础。

今日祷告

主耶稣，当我想到祢对我的忍耐时，愿我的心也从烦乱中得享平静。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

No Reason to Hurry

When your patience is finally in full bloom,then you will be ready for anything,strong in character…

—James 1:4(TLB)

This is a high-strung,neurotic,impatient age.We hurry when there is no reason to hurry—just to be hurrying.This fast-paced age has produced more problems and less morality than previous generations,and it has given all of us jangled nerves.Impatience has produced a new crop of broken homes,or more new ulcers,and has set the stage for more world wars.

Prayer for the day

May my heart be still amid all the turmoil,as I remember Your patience with me,Lord Jesus.
