双语灵修(葛培理牧师):1月10日 神永远不改变
1月10日
神永远不改变
从亘古到永远,你是神。
(诗90:2)
你有没有想过时间的消逝,从耶稣降生的年代一直到1830年,人类的速度还没有马的速度快。到1960年,人类以每小时18000英里的速度穿越太空,看啊,那么短的时间我们的速度变化这么快。每当读到这篇文章的时候,我都会想我们努力用不符合道德和精神标准的方式进入宇宙空间,你也看到了,科技无关道德。没有道德约束人们将会对生态、军事等很多方面造成破坏,进而摧毁自己。
只有神可以给人们道德约束和精神力量。我们所处的世界正在分崩离析,但是我们要知道神是自始至终永恒不变的神。现在的祂也是一亿年前的那个祂,一亿年后祂仍然不会改变。我们都如蝗虫一般,在这个时代出现片刻,转瞬即逝。
今日祷告:
全能的神啊,在这个充满恐慌、变幻莫测的世界,唯有祢是永恒不变的神并赐给我们平安。奉耶稣的名,阿们。

The Unchanging God
From everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
—Psalm 90:2
Have you ever thought about the collapse of time? From the days of the Lord Jesus Christ until about 1830, man could not travel any faster than a horse. In 1960, a man went into space and traveled at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour. Look how far we have come in so short a time! Sometimes when I read the papers, I think we are trying to run the Space Age with horse-and-buggy moral and spiritual equipment. Technology, you see, has no morals; and with no moral restraints man will destroy himself ecologically, militarily, or in some other way.
Only God can give a person moral restraints and spiritual strength. While our world is shaking and crumbling, we need to realize that one thing will never change, and that is God. He is the same today as He was ten million years ago, and He will be the same ten million years from today. We are like grasshoppers; we appear and hop around a bit on the earth, and then we are gone.
Prayer for the day:
Almighty God, to know You are unchanging gives me peace in a frighteningly changing world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
