捕風捉影—-傳道書2:11［後來我察看我所經營的一切事, 和我勞碌所成的功, 誰知都是虛空, 都是捕風, 在日光之下毫無益處.] ［故事］有個人住在火車站的旁邊, 每天火車在經過門口, 他家的狗狂吠之後, 必定狂追火車三四里遠, 方才垂頭喪氣的回到主人那裏. 一天太太問說”我們的狗到底干嘛啊？” 主人回答”追火車啊！可是沒有一次追著了.” 太太又問”假使追著了, 又怎麼麽様？”主人回答”追着了也沒有怎樣, 不過還是那麼樣而已！” [思考］人人都喜歡追名逐利, 終日奔跑. 精疲力盡. 就算得著了, 又怎麼樣？可能卻失去更寶貴的東西. 主耶穌說：到我這裡來！你可得永生與安息. ［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 我們世人真是可悲, 我們都拼命追求世上的財富, 就算是得著了, 也只是暫時的. 我們用一生去賺取, 最終也不能帶走, 一切都是虛空！求天父開啓我們的心靈, 接受祢要賜給我們永生的盼望, 平安和喜樂. 求主光照我們, 追求永恆, 有價值, 有意義的人生. 活得喜樂有盼望. 感謝祢豐盛的恩典. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Catching Wind and Catching Shadows – Ecclesiastes 2:11 [Then I looked at all the things I had done and the results of my labor, and I realized that they were all in vain, chasing after wind, and profiting nothing under the sun.] [Story] There was a man who lived next to the train station. Every day when the train passed by the door, his dog would chase the train for three or four miles after barking, and then return to its owner dejectedly. One day, my wife asked, “Our dog What on earth are you doing?” The master replied, “Chasing the train! But I didn’t chase it once.” The wife asked again, “What if I chased it?” The master replied, “It doesn’t matter if I chase it, but it’s still the same. That’s all!” [Thinking] Everyone likes to chase fame and fortune, running all day long. They are exhausted. Even if they get it, so what? You may lose something more precious. The Lord Jesus said: Come to me! You can have eternal life and rest. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we in the world are really pathetic. We all desperately pursue the wealth in this world, and even if we get it, it is only temporary. We spend our whole lives earning it, but in the end we can’t. Take it away, everything is vanity! Ask Heavenly Father to open our hearts and accept the hope, peace and joy that You will give us in eternal life. Ask the Lord to enlighten us and pursue an eternal, valuable and meaningful life. Live with joy and hope. Thank You for Your abundant grace. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
