092406 今日金句

我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
腓立比書 4:13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13

*************************************************************************
一句好熟悉又好喜歡的金句。今早用The Quest Study Bible去讀早經, 見到對這節經文的註譯:
"What does God give us strength to do?
Everything means all that God desires us to do - not absurd, selfish or evil things. In Paul's own example, it meant that God had given him the ability to be content whether he had plenty or overwhelming need. God's grace will sustain us no matter where he leads - even when we lack material things"

以前沒有從這個角度去想過。今日明白了﹐覺得好受鼓勵。如果我們尋求神的心意﹐願意去做祂喜悅我們去做的事(好像在退修會裡﹐牧師勸勉我們要將神放在生命的首位)﹐神一定會加力量給我們去達成目標。

既然是這樣﹐我就不用怕在尋求神心意時所失卻的某些東西了。可能這些曾經擁有的時刻﹐曾經令自己很快樂的事情﹐都未必是神所喜悅的。縱然沒有甚麼不對﹐但若wrong timing, 一樣是沒有甚麼益處。如果凡事都一想擁有就得到﹐那麼我們就未必懂得珍惜了。願神教導我等待的功課﹐若所做的是合神心意﹐祂必會加我力量﹐叫我凡事都能做。
