双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月10日 喜乐的心
10月10日
喜乐的心
你们要靠主常常喜乐；我再说：你们要喜乐。腓立比书4:4
当我们的心完全顺服神旨意时，就会很高兴地看到祂以祂的方式使用我们。我们的计划和愿望就与祂的一致，我们就接受祂在我们生活中的带领。如果我们行在神的旨意中，无论何处何在，心中的喜乐、满足和成就感都会增加。
怨天尤人或逆来顺受都不是解决苦难的办法。而除了纯粹地接受之外，还需要喜乐地接受。我们应该听听雅各的话：“我的弟兄们，你们落在百般试炼中，都要以为大喜乐；因为知道你们的信心经过试验，就生忍耐。但忍耐也当成功，使你们成全完备，毫无缺欠。”（雅各书1:2-4）。
基督徒的生活是充满喜乐的生活，基督教从来都不是叫人痛苦的，耶稣基督的使命就是充满喜乐。圣经教导我们，内心安息、外在得胜的生活，是基督徒与生俱来的权利。
艾米·卡迈克尔写道：“基督徒若能成为更加喜乐的人，那将是这世界多好的见证啊！”喜乐是真信徒的标志之一。卡迈克尔女士引用了韦伯伯鲁牧师的话：“喜乐不是强颜欢笑，不是开心逗乐。喜乐是对神旨意的完全顺服，因为灵魂以神为乐。”
在任何情况下都能喜乐是属灵生命成熟的标志。
今日祷告：
天父，求祢以祢的喜乐充满我，我因祢和祢的救恩而喜乐；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

INNER JOY AND OUTWARD VICTORY
Rejoice in the Lord always.I will say it again:Rejoice!Philippians 4:4,NIV
When our hearts are surrendered totally to the will of God,then we delight in seeing Him use us in any way He desires.Our plans and desires begin to agree with His,and we accept His direction in our lives.Our sense of joy,satisfaction,and fulfillment in life increases,no matter what the circumstances,if we are in the center of God’s will.
Resentment or resignation are not the answer to the problem of suffering.And there is a step beyond mere acceptance.It is accepting with joy.We need to listen to the words of James:“Consider it pure joy,my brothers,whenever you face trials of many kinds,because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,not lacking anything”(James 1:2-4,NIV).
The Christian life is a joyful life.Christianity was never meant to be something to make people miserable.The ministry of Jesus Christ was one of joy.The Bible teaches that a life of inward rest and outward victory is a Christian’s birthright.
“What a witness to the world Christians would be,”wrote Amy Carmichael,“if only they were more evidently very happy people.”Joy is one of the marks of a true believer.Miss Carmichael quotes Prebendary Webb-Peploe as having said,“Joy is not gush:joy is not jolliness.Joy is simply perfect acquiescence in God’s will,because the soul delights itself in God Himself.”
The ability to rejoice in any situation is a sign of spiritual maturity.
Pray for the Day:
Father,fill me with Your joy,for I rejoice in You and in Your salvation;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
