赐平安的神与我同在/THE GOD OF PEACE SHALL BE WITH ME

【译文】

有时候，我觉得灰心丧气，并对一些似是而非、虚伪类真的事情产生消极负面的想法。问题是，现实常常证明我的担忧只不过是杞人忧天罢了。由于自由受到限制，此刻的您也许与我感同身受。处境不顺时，我们很容易庸人自扰、胡思乱想。阴谋论、有争议的娱乐节目、批评指责等等，都是我们津津乐道的话题。所有这些都会像毒品一样暂时甚至长期地侵蚀我们的头脑。当您成为基督徒的那一刻开始，神已经更新了您的心思，他的恩典乃是不费之惠。

愿圣灵开启您的心来领悟今天的圣经章节【腓立比书】第四章第8-9节：“弟兄们，我还有未尽的话：凡是真实的、可敬的、正义的、清洁的、可爱的、有美名的，若有什么德行，若有什么称赞，这些事你们都要思念。你们在我身上所学习的，所领受的，所听见的，所看见的，这些事你们都要去行，赐平安的神就必与你们同在。”

休憩之时，夜深人静，赐平安的神晓得您的心思意念，信靠他，他必定赐您安然入梦。神祝福您。晚安。

亲切的问候
杰夫牧师

【Original】

Sometimes I can become discouraged and have negative thoughts about situations that seem real to me. The thing is, my concerns often don't actually come out in reality. That might be you in the midst of your freedom being limited. It can be very easy to think that this will continue to go bad and will never change. You can easily fill your mind with conspiracy theories, questionable entertainment, criticism, and many more things. All these tend to poison our minds either temporarily or long-term. God has renewed your mind when you became a Christian. His grace is available to you right now.

Ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and be impacted by the Scripture section for tonight. It's Philippians 4:8-9, "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. 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."

May God help you tonight and that you will have a good night's rest. God bless you.

Kind regards,
Pastor Jeff
