箴言 23:7a 因为他心怎样思量,他为人就是怎样。(现代标点和合本)
Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. (NKJV)
今天重要的是要明⽩,⾸先,我们⼼中所想像的对我们的⽣活会产⽣巨⼤的影响。最关键的就是,⼈⼼的想像⼒是⽆限的。因此今天藉着神的话语,在你们的⽣活中要想像那最美好的⼀⾯。想像你的⽣活是健康有活⼒的直到晚年;想像我们的孩⼦是杰出的;想像我们的教会成为祝福的管道,来拯救更多的灵魂。其次,要明⽩⼼会说话。你的⼼相信什么,你的⼝就会说出来。圣经也记载,⽣死在⾆头的权下。如果你不断地贬低⾃⼰的孩⼦,将他们标签为愚蠢的⼈,你就是在向他们传递你所说的和相信的。同样地,如果你不断地抱怨你配偶的不是,并与其他⼈作⽐较,这话语的能⼒会给你的配偶带来⽆形的压⼒。圣经说,如果你持续地宣告⼀种糟糕的画⾯,它将相应地显明出来。所以,如果你处在压抑惧怕中,记得保守你的⼼,以免你⼝中所说的话成为真实。
Today it is crucial to understand that firstly, our perception of life is heavily influenced by our hearts. Most significantly, the heart possesses the capacity for boundless imaginations. Hence today, through the word of God, envision positive outcomes in your lives. Picture a future filled with robust health until our golden years, visualise our children leading extraordinary lives, and envisage our church as a beacon of blessings, touching many souls. Secondly, understand that the heart speaks. What you believe is what you will speak. The bible also asserts that the tongue has the power of life and death. If you continuously belittle our children by labeling them as unintelligent, you are imparting the power of what you say and believe unto them. Similarly, if you habitually complain about your spouse and compare him/her unfavorably to others, you are imparting the power of your belief which will become a bondage to him/her. The bible says that if you persistently proclaim a worsening situation, it shall manifest accordingly. Therefore, those burdened with depression or living in fear, guard your hearts lest what you speak out from your heart becomes a reality.
