端正思想(之一)

Dec 6, 2024

随从圣灵的人顾念圣灵的事。(罗马书8:5)

要成为上帝希望你成为的人,你必须心思端正。你可能会说:“我的境遇如果不是这样就好了。”你的生活质量并非取决于你的境遇,而是取决于如何看待你的境遇。诗人弗雷德里克·朗布里奇(Frederick Langbridge)写道:“两个人透过监狱的栅栏往外张望,一个看到泥巴,另一个看见星星。”这两人处境相同,但他们视角迥异。一个寻找美,并发现了美;另一个关注丑,也发现了丑。道理如此:你周遭的生活会让你产生某种情绪。对他人和环境深感无能为力之时,你如何改变情绪反应呢?通过改变对人和事的看法!真正的改变始于你的心思意念。《圣经》说:“因为他总是精于算计。”(箴言23:7,和合本《圣经》此句为:“因为他心怎样思量,他为人就是怎样。”——译者注)你的心思意念必然反映你的为人处世。因此,为了能够成为最好的自己,也即上帝希望你成为的样式,你要有伟大的思想!过伟大生活的人,就是那些习惯性地思考伟大之事的人。你可能会说:“可是我忍不住会按照现有的方式去思考。”那么,“要随着思想的不断更新而改变,这样就能明辨上帝的旨意。”(罗马书12:2)上帝的话语会帮助你以信心而非恐惧、笃定而非焦虑、喜乐而非消极的方式去思考。心思一旦“顾念圣灵的事”,你的生活就会开始变得更好。
