讓自己活的快樂—-尼西米記8:10b[因靠耶和華而得的喜樂, 是你們的力量.］我們總不能等到人生不再艱難時, 才決定要活的快樂. 面對艱難, 仍要活的快樂. 我們不能讓艱難主宰我們的人生. 聖經中大衛王曾寫過一段詩篇4:7, 其中他對上帝説”你使我心裏快樂, 勝過那豐收五穀新酒的人.” 從詩句中, 我們看出大衛有極大的快樂, 但其實這首詩創作的背景, 並不是有什麼好事發生, 反而是大衛王在被自己的兒子押沙龍背叛追殺的時候所寫的. 明明是痛苦的時刻, 大衛王卻決定要活得快樂, 這當中的祕訣就在於他倚靠全能的上帝, 他的上帝是好神, 更是隨時幫助他的神. 親愛的朋友, 人生難免會有許多艱難的時刻, 但如果你的快樂是建立在環境的好壞上, 那麼你的心情必會時常上上下下. 時常感到失望. 但是當你倚靠上帝, 你將快樂建立在上帝身上. 那即便在艱難當中, 上帝也會給你力量, 使你心裏有超越環境的喜樂. 今天邀請你把所有的困難都交託給上帝, 上帝是那位永不改變, 永遠用笑臉幫助你的神, 只要你請求上帝的幫助, 並且相信上帝的權能, 上帝必會帶給你勝過你的處境, 使你得著任何環境都奪不走的喜樂. 快樂像噴泉, 喜樂像瀑布. 快樂通常是很淺顯的, 而喜樂總是深層次的. 快樂容易消失, 而喜樂往往長時間停留. 快樂經常圍繞物資及感官的刺激, 而喜樂則涉及心靈的提昇. 當我們以謙卑, 誠懇, 悔改和信心轉向主耶穌的那一刻, 上帝的喜樂就變成了我們的力量.
Let yourself live happily – Nehemiah 8:10b [The joy of relying on the Lord is your strength.] We can’t wait until life is no longer difficult before deciding to live happily. Facing hardships , but still to live happily. We cannot let hardship rule our lives. King David in the Bible wrote a passage in Psalm 4:7, in which he said to God, “You make my heart happy, more than he who harvests grain and new wine .” From the verse, we can see that David had great joy, but in fact, the background of this psalm was not something good happened, but it was written by King David when he was betrayed and killed by his own son Absalom. Yes. The secret of King David’s decision to live a happy life, despite his pain, is that he relies on God Almighty, who is a good God and who is always there to help him. Dear friends, life There will be many hard times, but if your happiness is based on good or bad circumstances, then your mood will go up and down from time to time. You will be disappointed all the time. But when you trust God, you build your happiness in God . Then even in the midst of hardship, God will give you the strength to give you joy beyond circumstances. Today I invite you to commit all your difficulties to God, the one who never changes and always helps you with a smiling face God, as long as you ask for God’s help and believe in God’s power, God will bring you better than your circumstances, and bring you joy that no circumstance can take away. Joy is like a fountain, joy is like a waterfall. Joy is usually It is superficial, but joy is always deep. Joy tends to fade away, and joy tends to linger for a long time. Joy often revolves around material and sensory stimulation, while joy involves spiritual upliftment. The joy of God becomes our strength the moment our faith turns to the Lord Jesus.
