双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：1月15日 依靠磐石

1月15日

依靠磐石

我心里发昏的时候，我要从地极求告你，求你领我到那更高的磐石。

（诗61:2）

当你成为基督徒的时候，这并不意味着你将站在一个永恒的“高度”上。诗人大卫曾跌入过人生的低谷，使徒保罗也经历过同样的事情。但是在一切的境况中，神的恩典、平安和喜乐都会与我们同在。依然会有伤心落泪，倍感压力，甚至遭遇试探的时候，但是我们有新的视野和方向，并且充满力量去面对生活的处境。

今日祷告:

大卫和保罗是我们信心的榜样，神啊，帮助我即使像他们一样处在人生的低谷，也要荣耀你。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

Lean on the Rock

When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

—Psalm 61:2

When you become a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you will live on a perpetual “high.” The Psalmist David went down to the very depths, and so did the Apostle Paul. But in the midst of all circumstances God’s grace, peace, and joy are there. The tears will still come, the pressures will be felt, and so will the temptations. But there is a new dimension, a new direction, and a new power in life to face the circumstances in which you live.

Prayer for the day:

David and Paul have given me the example of trusting You, Lord, even in the excruciating valleys of life. Like them, I praise You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
