我们有这宝贝放在瓦器里,要显明这莫大的能力是出于神,不是出于我们。 我们四面受敌,却不被困住;心里作难,却不至失望; 遭逼迫,却不被丢弃;打倒了,却不至死亡。 身上常带着耶稣的死,使耶稣的生也显明在我们身上。 (哥林多后书4:7-10 和合本)
神既不爱惜自己的儿子,为我们众人舍了,岂不也把万物和他一同白白地赐给我们吗? 谁能控告神所拣选的人呢?有神称他们为义了。谁能定他们的罪呢?有基督耶稣已经死了,而且从死里复活,现今在神的右边,也替我们祈求。谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢?难道是患难吗?是困苦吗?是逼迫吗?是饥饿吗?是赤身露体吗?是危险吗?是刀剑吗?
然而,靠着爱我们的主,在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。 因为我深信无论是死,是生,是天使,是掌权的,是有能的,是现在的事,是将来的事, 是高处的,是低处的,是别的受造之物,都不能叫我们与神的爱隔绝;这爱是在我们的主基督耶稣里的。(罗马书8:32-35,37-39 和合本)
你们要将一切的忧虑卸给神,因为他顾念你们。(彼得前书5:7 和合本)Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you.(1 Peter5:7 NIrV)
凡等候耶和华,心里寻求他的,耶和华必施恩给他。人仰望耶和华,静默等候他的救恩,这原是好的。(耶利米哀歌3:25-26 和合本)The LORD is good to those who put their hope in him. He is good to those who look to him.It is good when people wait quietly for the LORD to save them.(Lamentations3:25-26 NIrV)
要以耶和华为乐,他就将你心里所求的赐给你。当将你的事交托耶和华,并倚靠他,他就必成全。你当默然倚靠耶和华,耐性等候他;不要因那道路通达的和那恶谋成就的心怀不平。(诗篇37:4-5,7 和合本)Find your delight in the LORD . Then he will give you everything your heart really wants. Commit your life to the LORD . Here is what he will do if you trust in him. Be still and wait patiently for the LORD to act. Don’t be upset when other people succeed. Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.(Psalm37:4-5,7 NIrV)
疲乏的,他赐能力;软弱的,他加力量。那等候耶和华的必从新得力。他们必如鹰展翅上腾;他们奔跑却不困倦,行走却不疲乏。(以赛亚书40:29,31 和合本)He gives strength to those who are tired. He gives power to those who are weak. Those who trust in the LORD will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.(Isaiah40:29,31 NIrV)
有时候我们认为的成功跟幸福,是在凡事兴盛,身体健壮上面,却不知道我们人生最重要的核心根基,是在灵魂的兴盛里面,有时候神会允许一些不顺遂临到我们生命当中,我们会经历到苦难,或者是旷野,其实是帮助我们,对焦在我们的生命当中,最主要的根本方向,就是我们的兴盛当中,所以在我们的灵魂的兴盛里面,我们才真实地找到我们的身份感,满足感跟价值感的来源。——周巽正牧师
我们需要什么我们的天父/神是知道的,只要我们愿意认罪悔改,相信祂,倚靠祂,祂就会给我们,因为神就是供应者。神能照着运行在我们心里的大力充充足足地成就一切,超过我们所求所想的。 (以弗所书3:20 和合本)
你们看那天上的飞鸟,也不种,也不收,也不积蓄在仓里,你们的天父尚且养活它。你们不比飞鸟贵重得多吗? 你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢(或译:使身量多加一肘呢)? 何必为衣裳忧虑呢?你想野地里的百合花怎么长起来;它也不劳苦,也不纺线。 然而我告诉你们,就是所罗门极荣华的时候,他所穿戴的,还不如这花一朵呢! (马太福音6:32 和合本)
Look at the birds of the air. They don’t plant or gather crops. They don’t put away crops in storerooms. But your Father who is in heaven feeds them. Aren’t you worth much more than they are? Can you add even one hour to your life by worrying?“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the wild flowers grow. They don’t work or make clothing. But here is what I tell you. Not even Solomon in all his royal robes was dressed like one of these flowers. If that is how God dresses the wild grass, won’t he dress you even better? (Matthew6:26-29 NIrV)
你们这小信的人哪!野地里的草今天还在,明天就丢在炉里,神还给它这样的妆饰,何况你们呢! 所以,不要忧虑说,吃什么?喝什么?穿什么? 这都是外邦人所求的。你们需用的这一切东西,你们的天父是知道的。你们要先求他的国和他的义,这些东西都要加给你们了。 所以,不要为明天忧虑,因为明天自有明天的忧虑;一天的难处一天当就够了。”(马太福音6:26-31,33-34 和合本)
Your faith is so small! After all, the grass is here only today. Tomorrow it is thrown into the fire. So don’t worry. Don’t say, ‘What will we eat?’ Or, ‘What will we drink?’ Or, ‘What will we wear?’ People who are ungodly run after all those things. Your Father who is in heaven knows that you need them. But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you. So don’t worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Matthew6:30-34 NIrV)
我愿你凡事兴盛,身体健壮,正如你的灵魂兴盛一样。 (约翰三书1:2 和合本)
