你在寻找满足吗?

Nov 3, 2023

“我的子民……离弃了我这活水源泉……挖了不能蓄水的破池子。”(耶利米书2:13)

当事情顺遂时,你很容易满足。然而,这种好事多久发生一次呢?《圣经》说我们应该操练在任何情况下都处之泰然(感到满足)(参腓立比书4:12)。如果你把生活束之高阁,等得到梦寐以求的才满足,那你得等到日落西山!伊壁鸠鲁说:“不要因为渴望你所没有的东西而破坏了你所拥有的。谨记,你现在所拥有的,是你曾希望得到的。”三样东西会助长你的不满:一、贪婪。当纠结于自己没有的东西,你就享受不到上帝已经赐与你的。你要知足!设立目标是好事,但不要太在意结果,学会在前行中靠主喜乐。二、惧怕。它要你逃离原本没有的追兵。这是敌人的伎俩:1.剥夺你的平安和稳定;2.以“如果……怎么办”来折磨你;3.使你不能继续信靠上帝。《诗篇》的作者说:“我信靠祂,就不惧怕,区区世人能把我怎样?”(诗篇56:4)三、在错误的地方寻找满足。上帝说:“我的子民……离弃了我这活水源泉,为自己挖了不能蓄水的破池子。”据说我们人生的头五十年是用来寻找安全感,而余生却用来寻找意义。然而,我们不必如此。一名圣歌的作者写道:“今主耶稣满足我心,并无别人如祂;历久爱情、生命、欢欣,都由耶稣赐下!”你在寻找满足吗?试试耶稣吧!
