双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：2月21日 春天来了

2月21日

春天来了

“那能保守你们不失脚、叫你们无瑕无疵、欢欢喜喜站在他荣耀之前的我们的救主—独一的上帝， 愿荣耀、威严、能力、权柄，因我们的主耶稣基督归与他，从万古以前并现今，直到永永远远。阿们！”

犹大书 1:24-25

冬天总是寒冷、漫长的。但是，春天即将来临。在圣经的后面一部分有一卷书叫犹大书。这卷书只有二十五节经文，却蕴含着深切的盼望。作者犹大以慈爱、喜乐开始，然后谈到自己的担忧，最后又回到慈爱和喜乐。

犹大书的最后几节经文融化了冰霜，绽放出灵里的新生。原本紧贴在胸前的双臂，瞬间张开。神的话语咏唱出希望之歌。在最阴暗沉闷的季节里，耶稣永恒的颂歌带来了生命更新的盼望。

今日祷告：

亲爱的耶稣，求祢让我看到祢为我预备的新生命。求祢坚定我的信心，让我内心火热。奉主耶稣基督的圣名，阿们！

February 21 – Spring Is Coming

Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

J U D E 2 4 – 2 5

Winter can be a cold, harsh drag. But spring is coming. Near the back of the Bible is a little book named Jude. This little book, which is only twenty-five verses, has an underlying intensity of hope. It begins in love and joy, addresses a frigid concern, and then springs back to love and joy at the end.

The last couple verses of Jude thaw the cold and blooms freshness into the soul. Arms once huddled close to the chest are suddenly spread wide open! God’s Word sings hope. When the season seems most somber, the eternal song of Jesus brings out the Bermuda shorts and points to the refreshing life that is to come.

Pray for the Day:

Dear Jesus, let me see the new life that you have for me just ahead. Embolden my faith and keep my heart warm. Amen.
