中文灵修:禁止口舌
若有人自以为虔诚,却不勒住他的舌头,反欺哄自己的心,这人的虔诚是虚的。(雅1:26)
如果我们可以胜过自己的舌头,那么世上的问题瞬间便会得到解决。假如没有恼怒愤恨、没有亵渎的话语、没有谎言怨言,没有抱怨牢骚;假如没有污秽的言语、没有不公的批判,这个世界将会变的不一样!圣经教导我们,如果一个人可以掌控自己的舌头,那么他就可以控制自己的整体人格。说话之前我们应该问自己三个问题:所说的是不是真的?有没有益处?荣耀神吗?如果时常想起这三个问题,那么会减少很多恶言恶语,将会带来灵魂苏醒,教会复兴。
今日祷告:
主啊,我意识到时常反省自己的舌头是多么地重要,祈求您帮助我每天所讲的言语都能够讨你喜悦。
奉主的名求,阿们!
Daily Devotion:Tame Your Tongue
"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.—James 1:26
The problems of the world could be solved overnight if men could get victory over their tongues. Suppose there was no anger, no profanity, no lying, no grumbling or complaining; suppose there were no dirty stories told, no unjust criticism—what a different world this would be! The Bible teaches that a man who can control his tongue can control his whole personality. We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ? If we would always think before we speak, there would be much less evil speaking, and there would soon be a spiritual awakening that would sweep the church in America.
Prayer for the day:
May I remember how important it is to keep a check on my tongue. I pray that my conversation this day will be pleasing in Your sight, Lord.
In Jesus' name,Amen!
