双语灵修（葛培理牧师）：3月5日 仆人的生活

3月5日

仆人的生活

于是以利亚照着耶和华的话、去住在约但河东的基立溪旁。

——列王记上17:5

作为上帝的仆人，我们常常会感到孤单。保罗说“人们都离弃我”。传福音时的孤独是我们需付的代价。然而，我们并不是孤单的，因为有圣灵陪伴我们，正如以利亚在基立溪旁的时候。真正的神仆人的生活是沉重的。如果他是上帝所使用的器皿，他心内的这份重担只有志同道合的人才能理解。

今日祷告：

全能的上帝，正如祢的圣灵照顾以利亚那样，我知道侍奉祢的路上我并不孤单。奉耶稣基督的名，阿们。

The Life of a Servant

So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord……
—1 Kings 17:5

As messengers of God,we will often lead lonely lives.“All men forsook me,”said Paul.It is a price we have to pay;there is a loneliness in the Gospel.Yet you will not be alone,because you will be ministered to by the Spirit of God,as Elijah was ministered to at the brook Cherith.A true messenger lives a burdened life.If he is the Lord’s vessel,he carries in his heart a burden for souls none can share but those who know it firsthand.

Prayer for the day:

Just as Your Spirit took care of Elijah,I know I am not alone in Your service,almighty God.In Jesus’Name,Amen.
