0901 不要让仇敌扭曲你的视角

生活总是竭力捕获你的每一个注意力,各种试炼主动挡在你面前,为要将你的注意力从我身上挪开。仇敌深知,如果你被眼前所见的一切吞噬、压倒,牠就能找到进入你思维过程的入口,牠企图用你所见之事带来的焦虑将你压垮,但你被造是为了一个更高的道路。

将我摆在你的面前,让我成为你与问题之间的屏障。仰望我,借着我荣耀的光,你将会有属天的清晰度来看待试炼,透过我的良善、能力、慈爱和神性的视角来看待每一个处境。当我的荣耀充满你的异象时,没有任何事能够扭曲你的视角。绝不可让环境有机会主宰你,虽然试炼可能会出现,却不可容许它们吞噬你的异象。看见我站在你面前,透过我的荣耀观看,你将会在真理之光中看待这些问题。只有当真理的光已经深深地穿透你的生命,你才能以我的眼光来看事情。

我们在永恒的光中看待我们短暂而微不足道的苦难,我们将自己的困难视为那为我们成就极重无比、永恒荣耀的实质,这荣耀远非一切所能比拟,因为我们不把注意力放在所见之事上,而是放在所不见之事上。因为所看见的是暂时的,而那看不见的国度却是永恒的。——哥林多后书 4:17–18

0901 Do not let the enemy distort your view

Life fights to capture every ounce of your attention. Trials maneuver themselves in front of you in order to shift your focus away from me. The enemy knows that if you’re consumed and overwhelmed by what you see, he’ll have an entryway to your thought processes. He seeks to smother you in the angst of what you see. But you were created for a higher way. 

Set me before your eyes. Let me be the barrier between you and the problem. Look to me, and then, through the light of my glory, you’ll see the trial with heavenly clarity. See every situation through the lens of my goodness, power, love, and divinity. When my glory fills your vision, nothing is able to distort your view. Circumstances must not be allowed the opportunity to lord over you. Though trials may be present, they must not be allowed to consume your vision. See me standing in front of you. Look through my glory, and you will see these problems in the light of truth. It is only when the light of truth has penetrated deep into your being that you will see with my perspective.

We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison, because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.  –2 CORINTHIANS 4:17-18
