主賜平安—-腓立比書4:7［神所賜出人意外的平安, 必在基督耶穌裏, 保守你們的心懷意念.］［釋義］當你在沮喪無奈當中, 似乎無路可行的時候, 往往會有出人意外的驚喜和出路. 當你有難處時, 謙卑渴慕地來到神的面前, 向主傾訴並且全然交托, 祂必以永遠的慈愛保守你到底. 平安, 舊約中描述, 神使一切仇敵臣服, 彰顯祂全權的治理後, 立刻臨到的, 便是這項福氣. 以賽亞書32:17［公義的果效必是平安…直到永遠.］按新約的說法, 惟有先接受祂和好的恩典, 我們才能認識祂的平安. 神的平安來自與神和好, 這是透過主耶穌基督完成的. 羅馬書5:1［我們既因信稱義, 就藉著我們的主耶穌與神相合.] 神的平安是永久的平安, 凡進到神面前的人, 都能享受這樣的平安.［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 我們感謝敬拜祢, 因為祢是我們生命中的主宰和依靠. 每當我們生命中遇到困難, 自己不能解決, 走投無路的時候, 祢總是安慰和幫助我們, 使我們能夠經歷祢豐盛的恩典, 經歷祢的帶領和眷顧, 解決我們的問題, 我們感謝祢. 我們要謙卑的來到祢的面前, 完全的交托仰望祢, 完全信賴祢. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
The Lord Grants Peace – Philippians 4:7 [And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.] [Interpretation] When you feel discouraged and helpless, seemingly with no way forward, often there comes unexpected surprises and solutions. In times of trouble, humbly and earnestly come before God, pour out your heart to Him, and entrust everything to Him. He will guard you with His everlasting love. In the Old Testament, peace is described as the blessing that follows God’s absolute rule and victory over all enemies. Isaiah 32:17 says, [The fruit of righteousness will be peace… forever.] In the New Testament, we can only experience God’s peace by first receiving His grace of reconciliation. God’s peace comes through being reconciled to Him, a reconciliation accomplished through Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 states, [Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.] This peace is eternal, and anyone who draws near to God can enjoy it. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father, we thank and worship You because You are the Lord and sustainer of our lives. Whenever we face difficulties that we cannot resolve and find ourselves at a dead end, You always comfort and help us, allowing us to experience Your abundant grace, guidance, and care. You solve our problems, and for that, we give You thanks. May we humbly come before You, completely entrusting and relying on You with faith. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
