与耶稣同行(节制)Sample

知足
感觉知足并不是一件容易的事。在这个非常注重消费的现世中,人类倾向于追随潮流,以免落伍。我们每天都需要许多吸引我们的新事物——新衣服、新汽车、新玩意,等等,这使我们相当难以感觉知足。因为基本上,人类有一种想要更多的天性,他们想变得更漂亮或更英俊、更富有、更受尊敬,等等。
保罗说他“学会了知足”。当然,保罗并不是在学校学到的,而是从经验中领悟到的。经验教会他知足于身处的环境。他曾经历富足和缺乏。在某些时候,他饱受饥饿之苦;在另一些时候,他得以安享三餐温饱之福。这些都是让他学会知足的课程。在这些情况,知足并不意味着我们拥有足够的一切,知足意味着心灵满足。
真正的知足常乐很难学会,但并非不可能。我们依然可以学习知足。我们可以如何满足自己?当许多事情在外表上不能满足我们时,比如我们为寻找伴侣而挣扎时、我们的孩子不愿意服从我们时、工作没有达到我们的期望时,我们怎么能知足呢?答案是:“应当一无挂虑,只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求,和感谢,将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐、出人意外的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心怀意念。”(腓立比书4:6-7)无论我们缺乏或丰富、饥饿或饱足,都要以感恩的心祷告,这是在主面前获得满足的关键。神的平安是我们真正的满足,也守护我们心灵的平安。
思考
- 什么事物让你难以感到满足或知足?为什么?
- 你都做什么来满足自己?它是否有效?
练习
继续学习在所有事情上知足,这就是神想要的。
