腓立比書四章1-5節
神的小僕人
經文:
1 我所親愛、所想念的弟兄們,你們就是我的喜樂,我的冠冕。我親愛的弟兄,你們應當靠主站立得穩。
2 我勸友阿爹和循都基,要在主裡同心。
3 我也求你這真實同負一軛的,幫助這兩個女人,因為他們在福音上曾與我一同勞苦;還有革利免,並其餘和我一同做工的,他們的名字都在生命冊上。
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。
保羅在監獄的時候,寫信給腓立比教會,鼓勵他所親愛的、所想念的弟兄姊妹要在主裏喜樂,他自己也為他們屬靈生命的穩固而喜樂。其實在這段經文中,保羅給了我們幾種喜樂的祕訣。首先是懂得為別人感恩,其次就是彼此謙讓,與人和睦,而最重要的就是靠主而喜樂。
今天我們喜樂的原因可能是生活順利、凡事亨通,這都是我們眼見的,但保羅的喜樂是心中有神,全然倚靠神,感到別人得福,和別人關係和睦,簡單而言就是一個倚靠神和祝福別人的心。
你有把握你的名字在生命冊上嗎?你常祝福别人,會因别人得福而喜樂嗎?
Philippians 4:1-5
Paul was in prison when he wrote to the Philippians and encouraged them to find joy in the Lord. In this passage, what Paul gave us were clues to joy, to think and be thankful for others; to be gentle and live at peace with others and to find joy in the Lord by trusting.
We can only be happy by entertaining our desires and doing things we delight today. We look forward to a smooth and non eventful life that we can see and feel. Yet Paul told us his secrets to joy: revere the Lord and be thoughtful for others. In sum, it is a spirituality of total submission, a heart of trusting and a devotion to bless others.
