双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：2月11日 上帝对时间的安排最完美

2月11日

上帝对时间的安排最完美

……叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全可喜悦的旨意。

——罗马书 12：2

神对每一位基督徒的生命都有计划。每一种境遇，每一处转折，都是为了你的益处。它们彼此效力，为的是让你变得完全。神对你的计划是经过完善了的。所有的事彼此做工以使你得益处，使上帝得荣耀。作为一个年轻的信徒，我的妻子路得想要照她父母那样做一个传教士。但上帝对她的人生有别的安排。随着境遇的改变，上帝的旨意也逐渐向她显现，她也为上帝给自己安排的位置感到喜乐。我们中有太多人只顾祈求上帝改变境遇以适应自己的欲望，却不愿使自己的意志切合神的旨意。不要为了境遇而忧愁。反倒要在境遇中找到上帝对你生命的旨意。

今日祷告：

天父啊，我总是想超越祢的引领。求祢使我完全地信靠祢，并认识到在今天发生的一切事中，都含有祢对我生命的旨意。奉耶稣的名，阿们。

His Timing Is Perfect

. . . that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
—Romans 12:2

God has a plan for the life of every Christian. Every circumstance, every turn of destiny, is for your good. It is working together for completeness. His plan for you is being perfected. All things working together for your good and for His glory. As a young Christian, Ruth, my wife, wanted to be a missionary, as were her father and mother. But God had other plans for her life. Changing circumstances revealed God’s will to her, and she was happy where God had placed her. So many of us ask God to change the circumstances to suit our desires, instead of us conforming our wills to His. Don’t let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.

Prayer for the day:

How often I want to run ahead of Your leading, Father. Let me trust You completely and realize that in the midst of all the events of this day, You are working out Your will for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
