腓立比书 4:1~23

幸福的秘诀—谈知足

  • 我们以为知足就是我们没有的时候要学的东西。保罗说,不是这样的。有时候你需要学习的是,当你赚得很多钱,你也要学会知足。当你知道耶稣是谁的时候,你无论在哪里,都会感到满足。
  • 如果你所想的事情就是“要是我能有这一样东西就好了”,那你永远不会找到满足。满足只能在耶稣基督里找到,也唯有在基督里。
  • 我靠着那加给我力量的,凡事都能做。这节经文的目的不是要说,你可以变得富有,而是在基督里你就是富足的,也就是说,即使你没有钱,你仍然可以满足。
  • 圣经中有一个原则。箴言11:25说:“好施舍的,必得丰裕﹔滋润人的,必得滋润。”保罗说,如果你祝福别人,那你自己也会被祝福。
  • 诗篇37:25-26中说:“我从前年幼,现在年老,却未见过义人被弃,也未见过他的后裔讨饭。他终日恩待人,借给人﹔他的后裔也蒙福!”
  • 这是耶稣的教导。耶稣说:“你们要先求神的国,上帝的事,上帝看为重要的东西,那么这些东西都要加给你们。”
  • 所以保罗说我喜欢你们腓立比人给我奉献,并不是因为我需要这些,是因为他为腓利比人感到激动,因为上帝要供给他们一切所需用的。

What do you need to be happy? 

  •  This is something Paul learned through his experience. He says, “I’ve learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know how to be content if I have a lot of stuff.”
  •  Contentment has nothing to do with your circumstances.Contentment is found in Jesus Christ and him alone.
  •  When we give to others, God supplies all our needs. Everything will be taken care of. God’s going to supply all of our needs; we just have to stayfaithful.
  •  Proverbs 11:25 says, “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” Paul says: If you’re going to blessother people, you’re going to be taken care of.
  •  Psalm 37:25–26 says, “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. He is ever lending generously, and his children become a blessing.”
