0601聚會筆記-腓力比書第四章

 

今天在聚會中讀到了腓力比書第四章前半http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+4&version=NLT

 ，記錄一下特別感動的地方：

(NLT)1 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.

(因手邊沒有新普及譯本的中文，先引用現代中文譯本) 4:1弟兄姊妹們，你們是我所親愛的，我多麼想念你們！你們是我的喜樂，我的華冠。親愛的朋友們，你們要倚靠主站得穩。

心得：「stay true to the Lord」照著字面看，是「對主保持真實」及「在真道上扎根」，若是時時對主敞開，沒有保留，任何黑暗處就能被主的光照亮，只要願意被主改變，每天向著老我死並向著主活，就能越來越在真道上扎根。但要如何對主保持真實呢？應該就是要把主當好朋友，凡事(好的和壞的)都帶到主面前跟祂說，祂總有辦法解決，而我們也能從主那裡領受不同的觀點，活得更寬闊(³ Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples, then reprimanded Peter. "Get away from me, Satan!" he said. "You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's. 可8:33耶穌轉過身來，看看門徒，責備彼得說：「撒但，走開！你所想的不是上帝的想法，而是人的想法。」)。

(NLT)2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. 3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life.

(現代中文譯本)4:2 友阿蝶和循都基兩位姊妹啊，我勸你們要在主裏同心。
4:3 我忠實的伙伴啊，我也要求你幫助她們兩位；因為她們在福音的工作上跟我、革利免，以及其他同工一起勞苦過；這些人的名字已經都記在上帝的生命冊上。

心得：「because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement」因為我們屬於同一位主，我們要平息我們的歧見。非常奇妙地，前晚淑媛姊特別提醒我們在一起尋求主時，可以各自禱告後把感動寫下來再做對照(可以避免討論時受影響)，若是不同，就再繼續跟主禱告，直到感動一致。如同我們是主的身體，要連於元首基督，才不會手腳不協調，自亂陣腳。

(NLT)4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

(現代中文譯本)4:4 你們要因為跟主連結而常常喜樂。我再說，你們要喜樂！
4:5 你們也要向大家表現謙讓。主就要來了。

心得：再次被提醒到主就要來了，主對我們很好，告訴我們只要與祂連結就會常常喜樂，就像那些等候新郎來的童女，一心期盼她的愛人來迎接，滿心欣喜!

(NLT)6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

(現代中文譯本)4:6 你們應該一無掛慮；要在禱告中把你們所需要的告訴上帝，用感謝的心祈求。4:7 上帝所賜那超越人所能理解的平安，會藉著基督耶穌，保守你們的心懷意念。

心得：Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything」不要為任何一件事憂慮，相反地，要為每一件事禱告，這實在是強而有力的信息。「Tell God what you need」告訴主我們的需要，也是跟主做朋友以及培養感情的方法，因為主無限豐富，祂樂於滿足我們的需要，並且是真的需要，凡喝了祂所賜的水就永遠不渴。「His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus」當我們住在主裡面，聖靈也住在我們這聖殿的同時，主的平安就形成了盾牌可以保護我們的心。

(NLT)8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

(現代中文譯本)4:8 末了，弟兄姊妹們，你們要常常留意那些美善和值得讚揚的事。一切真實、高尚、公正、純潔、可愛，和光榮的事都應該重視。
4:9 你們從我所學習，領受，或聽到，看到的言行，都要實行出來。那賜平安的上帝就會與你們同在。

心得：因為我們是主的身體，自然而然就會在日常生活中常常關注(「Fix your thoughts on…」要定睛/鎖定(fix))及思想(「Think about things that」)美善和值得讚揚的事以及從主而來的感動(everything you heard from me and saw me doing)，因為心裡被這麼美好的事物充滿，就會不斷地被實行出來 (Keep putting into practice)。
