Aug12【每日活水】靠主站立得稳,靠主常常喜乐

 

腓立比书 4:1~9

1 我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄们,你们就是我的喜乐,我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄,你们应当靠主站立得稳。

保罗的劝导

2 我劝友阿蝶和循都基,要在主里同心。

3 我也求你这真实同负一轭的,帮助这两个女人,因为她们在福音上曾与我一同劳苦;还有革利免,并其余和我一同做工的,他们的名字都在生命册上。

4 你们要靠主常常喜乐。我再说,你们要喜乐。

5 当叫众人知道你们谦让的心。主已经近了。

6 应当一无挂虑,只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求,和感谢,将你们所要的告诉 神。

7 神所赐、出人意外的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。

8 弟兄们,我还有未尽的话:凡是真实的、可敬的、公义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的,若有什么德行,若有什么称赞,这些事你们都要思念。

9 你们在我身上所学习的,所领受的,所听见的,所看见的,这些事你们都要去行,赐平安的 神就必与你们同在。

Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity

1 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!

2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

3 Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Final Exhortations

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you..

灵修指南

保罗劝勉腓立比教会的信徒要靠主站立得稳(1节)。腓立比教会是在紫色布匹商人吕底亚家中建立的,这间教会从一开始就是以女性的委身为根基建立起来的。友阿蝶和循都基这两位女性是当时腓立比教会的同工,保罗劝导她们要在主里同心(2节);为此,保罗嘱咐教会的弟兄姐妹要一同帮助她们。保罗强调,面对内忧外患,教会必须同心才能克服危机。接着,保罗劝导信徒,要靠主常常喜乐(4节)。保罗当时被关在罗马监狱里,但是他向信徒展现了靠主喜乐的生命样式。保罗相信,无论信徒遭遇何种困难,主都会保守他们的心怀意念;因此,信徒不应被环境所影响和动摇,而要靠主站立得稳,在主里同心,且要靠主常常喜乐。盼望我们成为靠主站立得稳,又靠主常常喜乐的门徒。
 

内室祷告

愿我靠主站立得稳,无论遭遇怎样的困境,都不失去盼望和喜乐。
