神的供应:信实的给予
神的供应:信实的给予
Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Proverbs 3:9 (NLT)
你要以财物和一切初熟的土产尊荣耶和华。《箴言》 3:9
God promises to meet all your financial needs, if you (1) ask him for help; (2) learn to be content; and (3) practice giving in faith --
神已经应许你,他必满足你经济上的的一切所需,只要你(1)求神帮助;(2)学会满足;(3)凭信心去给予别人--
There is a universal law called the principle of sowing and reaping. If I sow criticism, I'm going to reap criticism. If I sow generosity, it's going to come back to me, and I'm going to reap generosity.
有一个宇宙的法则称为播种和收获原则。我种下的是批评,我将收获批评。如果我种下慷慨,他将向我返回,我会收获慷慨。
Every farmer knows this. A farmer has four sacks of seed in his barn and he looks at his empty field. He doesn't complain, "There's no crop! I wish there was a crop!" He just goes out and starts planting seed. When you have a need, plant a seed.
所有的农民都知道这个法则。一个农夫有四贷种子放在仓库里,他望了望他那空旷的田地。他没有抱怨说,“没有庄稼收成啊,我真希望能收割庄稼!”他只是出去开始撒种。你有什么需要时,就去撒种吧。
It seems illogical that when I have a need, I should give. That's why it requires faith. God says, "My ways are not your ways."
有需要就去给予,这好像不符合逻辑。这就是需要信心的原因。神说,“我的道路非同你们的道路。”
Why did God set it up that way? Because God is a giver. He is the most generous giver in the universe, and God wants you to learn to be like him. He wants to build character in you.
神为什么设立这样的法则呢?因为神自己就是一个给予者。他是全宇宙最慷慨大方的,而且神也想要你和他一样大度。他要在你里面建造这种慷慨大方的性情。
The Bible says, "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce." (Proverbs 3:9, NLT) This is the principle of tithing. It's the principle that says every time I make $100 -- the first $10 goes back to God.
圣经上说,“
你要以财物和一切初熟的土产尊荣耶和华。”(《箴言》 3:9)这就是十一奉献的法则,这个法则说,我每挣100块 -- 就把第一个十块还给神。
Tithing is an act of worship. We're giving to God. We're saying, "All of it came from you anyway." God says, "Put me first in your life and watch what I do." You may think you can't afford to tithe, but the reality is, you can't afford not to.
十一奉献是尊崇神的行为表现。我们在把一些东西给神,我们在对神说,“无论怎样,一切都是从你而来的。”神说,“你将我放在你的首位,看看我会作什么。”你可能觉得你拿不出这十分之一来,但真相却是,你能不拿出这十分之一来。
