每日箴言

忧虑

“‘我告诉你们：不要为生命忧虑…。’” – 路 12:22

灵修

我有很多忧虑，以致有时晚上难以入睡；我为教会的事务忧虑，我为家人忧虑，我为我的健康忧虑，我为钱财忧虑；我不相信我是唯一一个为这些事忧虑的人，那些听我倾诉我的忧虑的人中，他们大多数也为同样的事情忧虑，我想忧虑大概是人之常情。

但是，当我读了今天这段经文时，我又担心我没有活出正确的信心生活。唉！虽然耶稣告诉我们不要忧虑，但我仍然为许多事情忧虑！忧虑和内疚形成了一个恶性循环。我应该为我过份的忧虑内疚吗？甚至超过耶稣所说的？

耶稣告诉我们不要忧虑，可能是因为祂知道我们必定会忧虑的，我喜欢祂用来帮助我们不要忧虑的例子，他说：看看神怎样看顾雀鸟，看看祂创造的花朵是多么美丽。那些东西真是奇妙，神对它们的看顾既精密又全面；然而，比起看顾雀鸟和花朵，神对我们的看顾更为周到。那么，我们为何仍然要忧虑呢？

我知道我不能很快停止忧虑，从而不半夜醒来；不过，下一次我醒来时，我便会读这段经文，提醒自己神看顾我是何等周到，跟着我便再次躺下来，在这位创造我，每天、每时、每分都爱我和看顾我的神怀里安息。你也会这样做吗？

祷告

父啊，我既然知道你爱我，和天天从早到晚供我所需，求你帮助我因此安心休息，奉耶稣名祈求，阿们！

普世佳音每日箴言

Worry

“I tell you, do not worry about your life. . . .” — Luke 12:22

Devotion

I worry a lot. Sometimes it keeps me up at night. I worry about things at church. I worry about my family. I worry about my health. I worry about money. I don’t think I’m alone in worrying about things. Most people I share my worries with say that they lose sleep over similar things. I guess worrying is pretty normal.

But then I read today’s verses, and I worry that I’m not living the life of faith correctly. Ugh! I worry a lot even though Jesus tells us not to worry! A vicious cycle of worry and guilt sets in. Should I feel bad that I worry more than I should? More than Jesus wants me to?

Maybe Jesus told us not to worry because he knew we would. I love the examples he gives to help us not worry. Look at how God takes care of birds. Look at how beautiful he created flowers to be. Those things are amazing, and God’s care for them is elaborate and extensive. And yet God cares for us so much more than for birds and flowers. So why worry?

I don’t think I’ll stop waking up in the middle of the night from worry anytime soon. But the next time I do that, I’m going to read this passage and remember how much God cares for me. Then I’m going to lie back and rest in the care of the one who has made and loves and cares for me every second of every day. Can you do that too?

Prayer

Father, help me to rest in the knowledge of your love and provision every day and night. In Jesus, Amen.
