定睛向前
每个人都会因为后悔而挣扎。在不同的情况或环境下,悔恨的情绪可能会持续数月甚至数年,直到一个人能够重新集中精力。
我们许多人都很喜欢回顾本可以或本应该发生的事情。人们也容易回顾他们身后的“美好时光”,那时的生活可能看起来更美好、更简单、也不那么紧张忙乱。
但是,不管是什么原因导致我们迷恋过去,箴言都鼓励我们向前看。这并不是因为回顾过去是坏事或有什么不合适。我们可以从过去的错误、创伤或我们享受的美好时光中学到很多东西。然而,圣经提醒我们不要停留在过去,而是要从过往中有所学习(无论这需要多长时间),然后展望未来。
希伯来书的作者是这样说的:“我们…就当...存心忍耐,奔那摆在我们前头的路程,仰望为我们信心创始成终的耶稣。”(来 12:1-2)。
你要定睛看前面的道路,坚定不移地跟从耶稣。让祂成为你人生道路上的焦点。奔跑时要知道祂的灵与你同在,并且祂在你前面,在终点等候。
“伟大救主,求引领我,走过今世旷野路;我本软弱,主有权能,愿主圣手常保护。”耶稣,帮助我,使我的定睛在你身上。阿们。
箴言 4:25-26
25你的眼目要向前正看,你的眼睛当向前直观。
26要修平你脚下的路,坚定你一切的道,
Fix Your Gaze Ahead
"Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways." - Proverbs 4:25-26
Regret is something that everyone struggles with. Depending on the situation or circumstances, the emotions of regret can linger for months or even years before one is able to refocus.
Many of us are inclined to look back on what could have been or should have been. People can also tend to look behind them to "the good ol' days," when life may have seemed sweeter, simpler, and less frantic.
But whatever might cause us to fixate on the past, Proverbs encourages us to look ahead. This is not because it's bad or inappropriate to look back. We can learn a lot from our past mistakes, trauma, or the good times we enjoyed. However, Scripture calls us not to linger in the past but rather to glean from it (however long that takes) and then look ahead.
The writer of Hebrews puts it this way: "Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith" (Hebrews 12:1-2).
Set your gaze on the road before you and follow Jesus steadfastly. Let him be the focal point of your pathway in life. Run the race knowing that his Spirit is running with you and that he is ahead of you, waiting at the finish line.
"Guide me, O my great Redeemer, pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but you are mighty; hold me with your powerful hand." Help me, Jesus, to fix my gaze on you. Amen.
