【双语灵修】反省与回应 Reflection And Response
“你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明。” - 箴 3:5
多年来丈夫和我都会安排一个我们称为“1,500万元的日子”－ 由于通货膨胀，我们也可能需要调整这个金额了。开始这一天，我们把虚拟的1,500万元存入一个假设的银行户口，跟着我们便开始整天的省察。我们回顾过去几个月，我们也向前瞻望。对某些人来说，当新的一年开始时，他们也会这样做。我们问自己，有什么事情是我们应该采用不同方法去处理的、有哪些事情是我们想去做的 - 特别是如果我们真的拥有这笔巨款的话。我们一起展开宏伟远大的梦想。
我们也会接着问，金钱是我们实现梦想的唯一障碍吗？那么，为什么我们会有这种看法呢？经过我们的反省，是否有些事情需要调整的呢？我们有没有把我们的计划交托给神？或者我们有没有邀请神参与到我们的计划中？我们有没有留下空间去思想我们当在何事上信靠神、我们的梦想与祂应许的丰盛生命有何关连？
当我们问这类问题时，我们便领悟到神赐与我们的恩典是足够的。这意味着纵使遇到了令我们困惑的事情，我们仍然能够相信神的应许信实可靠。这也意味着我们不是孤军作战的，因为神必永远与我们同在，而在神里面的一切总是足够的。
祷告
神啊，求你帮助我们信靠你，又帮助我们不要再单靠自己去了解生命，而是要向你求助。感谢你引领我们的脚步，叫我们走在丰盛的生命之路上，又感谢你今天与我们同行。阿们。
箴言 3:1-6
1我儿，不要忘记我的法则，你心要谨守我的诫命，
2因为他必将长久的日子、生命的年数与平安加给你。
3不可使慈爱、诚实离开你，要系在你颈项上，刻在你心版上。
4这样，你必在神和世人眼前蒙恩宠，有聪明。
5你要专心仰赖耶和华，不可倚靠自己的聪明，
6在你一切所行的事上都要认定他，他必指引你的路。
Reflection And Response
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. . . ." - Proverbs 3:5
For years my husband and I have planned what we call a "$15 million day"—although it might need to be adjusted for inflation. At the beginning of the day, we bank $15 million in an imaginary account, and we set off on a day of reflection. We look back on the past several months, and we look forward. For some people, the beginning of a new year is something like that. We ask questions about what we might have done differently, and what we would like to do—especially if we actually had loads of money. We dream big and imagine far.
Then we also ask, If money is the only thing stopping us from our dreams, why is that? Is there something we need to adjust in our reflections? Are we trusting God with our plans? Have we even invited God into our planning? Have we made room to ask what we are trusting God for and whether our dreams connect with the full life he promises us?
When we ask these kinds of questions, we realize that what God wants to share with us is enough. This means that even when things don't make sense to us, we can rely on God's promises. It also means we are not in this alone. God is always with us, and God is enough.
Prayer
God, please help us to trust in you. Help us to stop trying to figure life out on our own and to ask you for help. Thank you for guiding our steps along the path to full life. Thank you for walking with us today. Amen.
