Spiritual Discipline: The Battle of the Blankets
Spiritual Discipline: The Battle of the Blankets
属灵的纪律:与被窝争战
"For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly." (Proverbs 5:23 NIV)
他因不受训诲就必死亡; 又因愚昧过甚,必走差了路。箴言 5:23
How have you been doing with your quiet time? If you're like most people, you struggle with making time for a quiet time. That's normal. As soon as you start trying to build the habit of a quiet time into your life, you'll encounter all kinds of roadblocks. Satan will fight you to keep you from meeting with the Lord daily. In fact, there are four very common roadblocks to having a consistent quiet time. Over the next few devotionals, I'll share with you a different roadblock each day and a few ways you can overcome the roadblock.
你灵修的怎么样?如果你像大多数人,你会为灵修而挣扎。这很正常。一旦你开始试着在你生活中建立灵修的习惯,你会遇到各种麻烦。撒旦会阻挠你每天会见神的面。实际上,如果你要始终每天坚持灵修,你会遇到四个常见的障碍。接下来的几个几篇属灵短文中,我会和你分享每天不同的障碍和一些克服这些障碍的方法。
By far, the most common roadblock that Satan puts in our way is the problem of discipline.I call this the battle of the blankets! To win the battle of the blankets, you have to get out of bed in the morning even though you're tired. That's not easy! The devil will exaggerate how tired you are. This lack of discipline can have disastrous effects. The Bible says in Proverbs, "For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly" (Proverbs 5:23 NIV).
到目前为止,最常见的障碍是撒旦在我们的道路上让我们放上缺乏纪律,我称这为与被窝争战!要赢得被窝里争战,你必须在早晨起床,即使你很累。但这是不容易!魔鬼会夸大你有多累。而这种纪律的缺乏可能会产生灾难性的影响。圣经箴言说”他因不受训诲就必死亡; 又因愚昧过甚,必走差了路。“箴言 5:23
To overcome the battle of the blankets:
赢得战争的方法
Get up immediately!The battle is won or lost in the first few minutes.
马上起床!战争的开始的几分钟决定了胜败。
Be aware of time robbers.For you, these could be surfing the Web or watching TV - whatever you're doing instead of your quiet time.
警醒时间的强盗。对你来说,这可能是上网或看电视—无论你干什么而不是在灵修。
Go to bed with Scripture on your mind.Read a piece of Scripture you read in the morning so that you go to bed and wake up with God's Word on your mind.
睡觉时默想经文。读一段你早晨读过的经文,这样你睡觉和清醒时都让神的话在你脑中。
You can do this! Tomorrow morning you can win the battle of the blankets!
你可以做到的!明天早上你就可以赢得被窝里的斗争!
Talk About It
讨论一下
What are the time robbers that Satan is using to distract you from your quiet time with God? What adjustments will you make today to give that time to God?
什么是撒旦用来让你在与神同在的灵修时间让你分心的时间强盗?你今天将对这段与神相处的时间做什么什么调整
Consider ways to keep Scripture on your mind, like writing verses on an index card and taping it to your bathroom mirror.
想一下可以让你记住经文的方法,例如些一些章节的卡片贴在你浴室的镜子上。
