11-8

Learn to appreciate difficult days. Be stimulated by the challenges you encounter along your way. As you journey through rough terrain with me, gain confidence from your knowledge that together we can handle anything. This knowledge is comprised of three parts: your relationship with me, promises in the bible, and past experiences of coping successfully during hard times.

Look back on your life, and see how I have helped you through difficult days. If you are tempted to think, "Yes, but that was then, and this is now," remember who I am! Although you and your circumstances may change dramatically, I remain the same throughout time and eternity. This is the basis of your confidence. In my presence you live and move and have your being.

 

學會欣賞困難的日子。在你的旅途中，被你所遇到的挑戰激勵。當你與我一同穿越崎嶇的地形時，要從你知道我們一起能夠應對一切的信心中獲取力量。這“知道”包括三個部分：你與我的關係，聖經中的應許，以及過去在艱難時期成功應對的經驗。

 

回顧你的生活，看看我是如何在困難的日子裏幫助你的。如果你感到誘惑去想：“是的，但那是過去，現在是現在”，請記住我是誰！盡管你和你的環境可能發生巨大變化，我在時間和永恒中始終如一。這是你信心的基礎。在我的同在中，你生活、動作（移動）、存留。
