谦卑是一种选择
Oct 25, 2017
“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor”(1 Peter 5:6 NLT).
“所以，你们要谦卑服在 神大能的手下，这样，到了适当的时候，他必使你们升高。”（彼前5:6 和修）
When you’re successful, it’s much easier to fall hard than it is to maintain your success. We tend to get proud and forget about God, and success crumbles when we do that.
当你成功的时候，成功比保持自己成功要轻松的多。我们倾向于自傲，忘记上帝，这是，成功就会瓦解。
If you’ve found yourself in that situation, the first step to take is absolutely critical.
如果你发现自己正在这种情形下，采取的第一步是至关重要的。
The Bible says,“Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you”(Revelation 2:5a NIV).
圣经说，“所以你要回想你是从哪里坠落的，并且要悔改，做起初所做的工作。你若不悔改，我要到你那里去”（启示录2:5a 和修）。
If you’re getting proud, you must repent. That means you change your mind. You go from thinking one way about your life to thinking another way.
如果你正在变得自大，你必须悔改，这意味着你要改变你的思想。你的思维要从一种模式转换成另一种模式。
Why repent?Humility is a choice.We’re never told in Scripture to pray for God to make us humble. It’s something you choose for yourself.
为什么悔改？谦卑是一个选择。我们从来没有找到一节经文，向上帝祷告，让我们谦卑。这是你自己的选择。
The Bible says,“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor”(1 Peter 5:6 NLT).
圣经说，“所以，你们要谦卑服在 神大能的手下，这样，到了适当的时候，他必使你们升高。”（彼前5:6 和修）
Humility is a choice.
谦卑是一个选择。
Here’s the difference between pride and humility. Pride is when I accept the credit for things that God and other people did through me and for me. Humility doesn’t mean thinking of yourself less. It means thinking of others and God more.
这里是骄傲与谦卑的不同。骄傲意味着我接受上帝借着我并且因着我做的一些事情。谦卑并不意味着思考自己更少一点。这以为这思想上帝更多一点。
If you have experienced some success and are beginning to get prideful, then repent —today!Change your perspective about who you are and where your success comes from.
如果你有过这样的经历，当你成功后你开始变得骄傲，然后今天就要谦卑下来！改变你的观念，改变你对自己的认识，改变你对自己成功来源的认识。
The Bible says,“For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”(Matthew 23:12 NIV).
圣经说，“凡自高的，必降为卑；自甘卑微的，必升为高。”（太23：12 和修）
