腓立比書四章4-7節
神的小僕人
經文:
4 你們要靠主常常喜樂,我再說:你們要喜樂。
5 當叫眾人知道你們謙讓的心。主已經近了。
6 應當一無掛慮,只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求,和感謝,將你們所要的告訴神。
7 神所賜出人意外的平安,必在基督耶穌裡,保守你們的心懷意念。
保羅在監獄裏寫下腓立比書,其主題就是喜樂。保羅給我們的榜樣就是在不同的環境,甚至在監獄,他仍然可以靠着主得到喜樂。他的秘訣就是把他所需要的,都藉着禱告、祈求和感謝帶到神的面前,因着他對上帝的信靠,便可以放下他的焦慮,面對前路。
一無掛慮是最幸福的,每天我們都可以藉着禱告和祈求,並以感謝的心把我們所需要的帶到神的面前,上帝應許賜給我們出人意外的平安,這平安不同於世上的平安,不是人的安慰確認,乃是來自上帝的掌管與看顧保守。
Philippians 4:4-7
Paul was imprisoned when he wrote the book of Philippians. The theme is joy, joy from a prisoner who is facing persecution and death. The clue is to present all our worries and anxiety to the Lord through prayers and petition. Paul gives us a perfect example of faith and trust that relieve all his anxiety and worries.
Free from worries is most blessed. We can only get it through the transcendent peace from God who holds our future and uncertainty. It is not the comfort and assurance of men but from God.
