双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：1月4日 确实的爱

1月4日

确实的爱

耶和华是我的亮光，我的拯救，我还怕谁呢？

（诗27:1）

现今有很多人活在恐惧的束缚中。在最近一项研究中，一位神经科医生说他的病人面临的最大的问题就是恐惧。对发疯，自杀，孤独的恐惧，以及对心脏病，癌症，灾难和死亡的恐惧。我们正在慢慢成为一个恐惧的民族。纵观历史，在患难，诱惑，试探，失丧以及危机的时刻，神使这些爱他的人心中充满力量。圣经上很多次写到神的帮助是实实在在的，他安慰困境中的人。现今的基督徒可以带着信心回归到圣经中，相信神会使信他的人得到自由。基督徒的未来是充满应许，盼望和喜乐的，并且没有惧怕，沮丧和失望。

今日祷告:

主啊，用你实实在在的爱除去我心里的恐惧。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Assurance of His Love

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

—Psalm 27:1

Today many people are living in the bondage of fear. In a recent study a psychiatrist said that the greatest problem facing his patients was fear. Fear of going insane, committing suicide, being alone, or fear of heart disease, cancer, disaster, or death. We are becoming a nation of fearful people. Down through the centuries in times of trouble, temptation, trial, bereavement, and crisis, God has brought courage to the hearts of those who love Him. The Bible is crowded with assurances of God’s help and comfort in every kind of trouble which might cause fears to arise in the human heart. Today the Christian can come to the Scriptures with full assurance that God is going to deliver the person who puts his trust and confidence in God. Christians can look into the future with promise, hope, and joy, and without fear, discouragement, or despondency.

Prayer for the day:

Your assurances of love still the fears of my heart, Lord; in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
