平靜得力—-以賽亞書30:15［你們得救在乎歸回安息, 你們得力在乎平靜安隱.］［故事］一位國王坐船海上出游, 不巧遇上了大風雨. 一名士兵因為第一次乘船, 所以害怕的又哭又叫, 船上的人幾乎都受不了. 一位官員說”讓我來處理, 我可以使他馬上安靜下來.” 官員就命令水手, 將那位士兵綁起來, 丟下海中. 那士兵掉入海中, 更是高聲大喊, 手腳亂舞. 過了幾分鐘, 官員才叫人把他拉上來. 回到船上後, 那士兵竟然靜靜的待在船艙的一角, 半點聲音也沒有. 國王很好奇怎麼會如此. 官員解釋說”在情況轉為更惡劣後, 人才體會自己原先還是很幸運的.” [思考] 當我們的情況還沒有進入最糟糕時, 我們會否感恩和珍惜目前所擁有的？在疫情, 經濟, 政治和戰爭都動蕩不安的時代, 我們是否能夠有平靜的心態, 尋求上帝的幫助和眷顧？［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 我們生活在這凡事難料的時代, 有太多的擔憂和顧慮, 為生活, 健康, 環境和時事的不穩定, 我們看不清前面的局勢. 感謝天父, 祢是我們的依靠. 我們的避難所和希望, 在祢的裏面. 我們可以有平靜的心, 並得到祢所賜出人意外的平安, 也得著力量面對不平穩的環境, 我們獻上感恩. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
