三個命令—-帖撒羅尼迦前書5:16-18［要常常喜樂, 不住的禱告, 凡事謝恩. 因這是上帝在基督耶穌裏向你們所定的旨意.］［釋義］讓我們都記得, 不管遇到任何不順利的狀況, 你是否仍然喜樂, 禱告與謝恩呢? 別忘了, 主與我們同在. 這些狀況祂都知道, 因為祂連我們的頭髮都數過, 為凡事感謝讚美主吧！我們若以今世的事物為樂, 我們的喜樂也必變化無常, 但我們若以神和神的事為樂, 就必能常常喜樂；經常不住的禱告, 是與神保持恆久的關係, 以便隨時可以來到神的面前; 凡事謝恩, 是因為信徒在主裏可以得力面對困苦, 使苦難反成為生命的祝福. “這是神在基督裏向你們所定的旨意”是指以上三個命令而言.［禱告］親愛的天父上帝, 我們感謝讚美祢, 因為有祢的應許和陪伴, 我們無論遭遇什麼不順利的情況, 我們相信祢都知道, 也是祢允許的, 其中也有祢的眷顧和旨意, 雖然我們可能不明白, 但求主幫助我們有順服的心, 喜樂的心面對. 有信心凡事感謝讚美祢. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們！
Three Commands – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 [Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.] [Explanation] Let us remember: regardless of any unfavorable situation we face, do we still rejoice, pray, and give thanks? Don’t forget, the Lord is with us. He knows every situation, even the number of hairs on our heads. Let us thank and praise Him in all things! If we take joy in worldly matters, our joy will be unstable. But if we take joy in God and the things of God, we will be able to rejoice always. Praying without ceasing helps us maintain a constant relationship with God, allowing us to come to Him at any time. Giving thanks in all circumstances shows that believers can find strength in the Lord to face challenges, turning hardships into blessings for their lives. “This is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” refers to these three commands: rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all things. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father, we thank and praise You because of Your promises and presence. No matter what unfavorable circumstances we encounter, we trust that You know them all and have allowed them for a reason. Within them, we find Your care and purpose. Even though we may not understand, we ask for Your help to give us a heart of obedience and joy, enabling us to face challenges with faith and to give thanks and praise in all things. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
