【双语灵修】旅途中的新喜乐NEW JOY IN THE JOURNEY
诗篇 126篇
当耶和华将那些被掳的带回锡安的时候,我们好像做梦的人。 我们满口喜笑、满舌欢呼的时候,外邦中就有人说:“耶和华为他们行了大事!” 耶和华果然为我们行了大事,我们就欢喜。 耶和华啊,求你使我们被掳的人归回,好像南地的河水复流。 流泪撒种的,必欢呼收割。那带种流泪出去的,必要欢欢乐乐地带禾捆回来。

旅途中的新喜乐
“流泪撒种的,必欢呼收割!” - 诗 126:5
人生的旅程不会总是一帆风顺。我们会遭遇困境、经历挫折,有时还会觉得自己的努力付诸东流。但《诗篇》126篇5节揭示了一个美好的真理:神不会让我们白白承受痛苦。我们流下的眼泪绝不是徒劳的,因为它们如同撒下的种子,终必迎来欢呼收割的时刻。
我还记得自己经历过一段艰难的时光,那时仿佛一切都在分崩离析,我看不到任何盼望和美好。然而回望过去才发现,正是那些挣扎的时刻在我心中孕育了更深的喜乐。神藉着痛苦磨炼我、教导我,最终将我带领到一个更有平安、更喜乐的境地。
神应许我们,即便在悲伤之中,祂也必带来喜乐。这份喜乐或许不会立刻降临,有时还需忍受一些艰难的日子。但当收割的时刻到来,那份喜乐会比我们想像的更加甘甜。这是唯有神能赐予的喜乐,因为我们深知,无论经历什么,祂始终与我们同在。
在我们行过人生的旅途时,愿我们铭记:流泪之后的欢呼,是一种全新的喜乐。这种喜乐源于我们将困境交托给神,耐心等候祂在我们生命中完成祂的工作。
祷告
神啊,感谢你在我们人生旅程中赐下喜乐的应许。求你帮助我在困境中,时刻信靠你,持守盼望,让我们在你里面得着满溢的喜乐。阿们。

NEW JOY IN THE JOURNEY
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. —Psalm 126:5
The journey of life isn’t always easy. We face struggles, setbacks, and moments where it feels like our efforts are in vain. But the beautiful truth of Psalm 126:5 is that God does not waste our pain. The tears we shed are never in vain, for they are like seeds being sown for a harvest of joy.
I remember a time when I was going through a season of difficulty. It felt like everything was falling apart, and I couldn’t see how any good could come from it. Yet, looking back, I realize that those moments of struggle were the very things that cultivated a deeper joy in me. God used the pain to refine me, teach me, and ultimately bring me to a place of greater peace and happiness.
We are promised that, even in our sorrow, God will bring forth joy. The joy doesn’t always come immediately, and at times we have to endure some hard moments. But when the harvest comes, it’s sweeter than we could have imagined. It’s a joy that only God can bring—a joy that comes from knowing that he is with us through it all.
As we walk through life, let’s remember that the joy that follows the tears is a new joy. It’s a joy that comes from trusting God with our struggles and waiting patiently for his work to be completed in us.
God, thank you for the promise of joy in our life’s journey. Help me to trust you through the difficult times and to hold on to the hope that we will be filled with joy in you. Amen.
