《祷告》杨 腓力

谢谢韵香。

祷告,是信心的健身房。

信心不是一种恩赐,有就有,没有就没有;信心是肌肉,愈锻鍊就愈结实。你或许一直都有稳定的祷告生活,却仍感到信心不足,因为你可能只锻鍊到腿部肌肉,却手无缚鸡之力;或是你误用健身器材,不但没练到筋骨,反而拉伤了肌肉。

杨腓力的《祷告》,就像是「祷告健身房」指南,首先带我们自我检视各部位的信心肌肉;接着示范各种健身操,像是用主祷文来热身、用诗篇强化信心肌肉,而 保罗的祷告则是扩胸运动(扩充我们的胸怀);然后是各种健身器材的使用说明,你或许会惊讶,竟然连「张口结舌」和「沉默无声」都是祷告健身房中的设备。

祷告健身的目的,是为了用跑步机上锻鍊的腿力,去跑人生的跑道;
用举重所练的臂力,去挪开压在别人身上的重物;
并且,用健身房裡培养的耐力,去等候、包容人生所遭遇的种种苦难与奥祕。

利未记

民数记和利未记一样,难读。
听说心玮传道研究的是利未记。真是佩服。
利未记与民数记考验了我的信心。很难明白,又很难接受。

^^

围裙一件。


find us faithful

we're pilgrims on a journey of a narrow road
and those who've gone before us line the way
cheering on the faithful
encouraging the weary
theirs lives a stirring testament of God's sustaining grace

surrounded by so great a crowd of witnesses
let us run the race not only for the prize
but as those who've gone before
let us leave to those to those behind
the heritage of faithfulness pass on through Godly lives

chorus:
oh may all who come behind us
find us faithful
may the fire of our devotion light their way
may the footprints that we leave
lead them to believe
and the lives we lead inspire them to obey
oh may all who come behind us
find us faithful

after all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
and our children sift through all we've left behind
may the clues that they discover
and the memories they uncover
come the light that leads them to the road we each must find

太24:38--39

洪水之前的时代,人们吃喝嫁娶,直到挪亚进入方舟的那一天;
等到洪水来到,把他们冲去,他们才明白过来;人子降临的时候也是这样。

太21:28--31

你们认为怎样?有一个人,他有两个儿子。他去对大儿子说:孩子,你今天到葡萄园去工作 吧。
他说:我不想去。但后来他改变主意,就去了。
父亲又照样去吩咐小儿子。小儿子说:父亲,我会去的。后来却没有去。这两个儿子,哪一个听父亲的话呢?
