双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：10月11日 一无挂虑

10月11日

一无挂虑

 

应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告，祈求，和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念。

腓立比书4:6-7

学会每天来到神面前祷告这个秘诀的人是有福的！每天早晨，在新的一天开始之前，花十五分钟与神独处，可以改变我们的想法，为我们充电。

但是，所有这些无限的福气和从天上宝库中流出的益处，都取决于我们与神的关系。完全的信靠顺服是作为神儿女的条件。只有祂的儿女才有资格领受那些福气；而要成为祂的儿女，必须在意志上降服于祂。

我们必须先承认自己的贫穷，才能变得富足。我们必须承认自己一无所有，才能被收养为儿女。

只有当我们意识到自己所有的良善在神眼中都像污秽的衣服，意识到我们顽固意志的破坏力，意识到要完全倚靠神的恩典，藉着信心，我们才开始踏上了蒙福之路。

我们不是因着行为认识神——而是靠着恩典、因着信。我们得蒙福气、进入天堂，不是靠自己努力、不是藉着道德说教或革新改造，也无法用金钱买通。救恩是神藉着基督所赐的礼物。

今日祷告：

天父，求祢除去我心中的忧虑，用祢的平安充满我；奉耶稣的名，阿们。

ANXIOUS IN NOTHING

Have no anxiety about anything,but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God,which passes all understanding,will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6-7,RSV

Happy is the person who has learned the secret of coming to God daily in prayer.Fifteen minutes alone with God every morning before one starts the day can change our outlooks and recharge our batteries.

But all of this happiness and all of these unlimited benefits which flow from the storehouse of heaven are contingent upon our relationship to God.Absolute dependency and absolute yieldedness are the conditions of being His child.Only His children are entitled to receive those things that lend themselves to happiness;and in order to be His child,there must be the surrender of the will to Him.

We must admit we are poor before we can be made rich.We must admit we are destitute before we can become children by adoption.

When we realize that all our own goodness is as filthy rags in God’s sight and become aware of the destructive power of our stubborn wills,when we realize our absolute dependence upon the grace of God through faith and nothing more,then we have started on the road to happiness.

We do not come to know God through works-we come to know Him by faith through grace.We cannot work our way toward happiness and heaven;we cannot moralize our way,we cannot reform our way,we cannot buy our way.Salvation comes as a gift of God through Christ.

Pray for the Day:

Father,take away the anxiety in my heart and fill me with Your peace;in Jesus’Name,Amen.
