保持不斷更新的心—-哥林多後書5:17［若有人在基督裡, 他就是新造的人, 舊事已過, 都變成新的了.］新造的人應有新的眼光, 過新的生活, 作新的事奉. 有許多人希望生活過的生動有趣, 但是只想安於現狀, 不想改變. 好奇心與接受新事物的能力, 真實付出行動, 往往會有意外的驚喜. 馬太福音9:17耶穌說［也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裏, 若是這樣, 皮袋就裂開, 酒漏出來, 連皮袋也壞了. 惟獨把新酒裝在新皮袋裏, 兩樣就都保全了.］面對日益變遷的社會, 我們需要新皮袋的思維. 需要有一棵柔軟謙卑的心, 領受上帝的美意, 領受上帝新的帶領, 才不會被世界淘汰. 因此, 我們需要保持不斷更新的思維. 以寬容的態度使我們更快接受新事物. 進入上帝為我們所預備的新季節. 我們要感謝上帝過去對我們的祝福. 感謝過去上帝賜下的恩典. 但更重要的是上帝要問你最近允許我在你身上做什麼新事嗎？信心具有動力, 上帝盼望我們敞開胸懷, 天天更新. 因為上帝永遠不受過去的限制, 是不斷做新事的神. 今天讓我們每一個人都保有柔軟, 彈性, 不斷更新的心. 讓我們一生都保守自己成為新皮袋, 不要把舊皮袋修修補補再用, 好讓上帝新的計劃能夠成就在你我的身上.
Maintain a heart that is constantly being renewed – 2 Corinthians 5:17 [If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; all things have become new.] New creations should have new perspectives, Live a new life and do new service. Many people want to live a lively and interesting life, but they just want to be content with the status quo and do not want to change. Curiosity and the ability to accept new things, and real action will often lead to unexpected surprises .Matthew 9:17 Jesus said, “No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the wineskins will burst and the wine will leak out, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine is put into new wineskins.” In this way, both are preserved.] Faced with the ever-changing society, we need new wineskin thinking. We need to have a soft and humble heart, accept God’s good will, and accept God’s new guidance, so that we will not be eliminated by the world. Therefore, we need to maintain a constantly renewing mind. A tolerant attitude allows us to accept new things more quickly. Entering the new season God has prepared for us. We want to thank God for His blessings to us in the past. Thank God for the grace He has given us in the past. But more importantly God is asking you what new thing have you allowed me to do in you lately? Faith has power, and God hopes that we will open our minds and renew them every day. Because God is never limited by the past and is a God who is constantly doing new things. Today, let each of us keep a soft, elastic, and constantly renewing heart. Let us live a lifetime Keep yourselves new wineskins, and do not patch up old wineskins and reuse them, so that God’s new plan can be fulfilled in you and me.
