[應時的話#10]虛空無聊.10句聖經的話

有時候，生活沒有發生什麼壞事，卻還是覺得無聊、空虛，日子一天一天過，心裡卻不知道究竟在期待什麼。

我們用工作填滿時間，用娛樂轉移注意力，也不斷尋找新的事物讓自己快樂，但短暫的熱鬧過後，那個空缺似乎仍然存在。或許，我們真正缺少的，不是更多事情可以做，而是找到生命真正的滿足。

當你覺得生活空洞、提不起勁時，以下十句聖經的話，願帶你重新看見：人的心不是為虛空而造，而是為著盛裝神。當神進到我們裡面，平凡的日子也能有真正的喜樂與意義。

1. 只是從前我以為對我是贏得的，這些，我因基督都已經看作虧損。...因我以認識我主基督耶穌為至寶；我因祂已經虧損萬事，看作糞土，為要贏得基督。－腓立比書3:7-8

But what things were gains to me, these I have counted as loss on account of Christ. But moreover I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as refuse that I may gain Christ－Philippians 3:7-8

2. 我察看我手所經營的一切事，和我勞碌所成的功；誰知都是虛空，都是捕風，在日光之下毫無益處。－傳道書 2:11

3. 我們原不是顧念所見的，乃是顧念所不見的，因為所見的是暫時的，所不見的才是永遠的。－哥林多後書4:18

Because we do not regard the things which are seen but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.－2 Corinthians 4:18

4. 你趁著年幼，衰敗的日子尚未來到，就是你所說，我毫無樂趣的那些年日未曾臨近之先，當記念造你的主。－傳道書12:1

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;－Ecclesiastes 12:1

5. 人若賺得全世界，卻賠上自己的魂生命，有甚麼益處？人還能拿甚麼換自己的魂生命？－馬太福音16:26

For what shall a man be profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul-life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul-life?－Matthew 16:26

Look therefore carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.－Ephesians 5:15-16

7. 神造萬物，各按其時成為美好，又將永遠安置在世人心裏。－傳道書3:11

He has made everything beautiful in its own time; also He has put eternity in their heart, yet so that man does not find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.－Ecclesiastes 3:11

8. 因為『凡屬肉體的人盡都如草，他一切的榮美都像草上的花；草必枯乾，花必凋謝，惟有主的話永遠長存。』所傳給你們的福音就是這話。－彼得前書1:24-25

9. 凡喝這水的，還要再渴；人若喝我所賜的水，就永遠不渴；我所賜的水，要在他裡面成為泉源，直湧入永遠的生命。－約翰福音4:13-14

Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again, But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water gushing up into eternal life.－John 4:13-14

10. 且要在那些蒙憐憫、早豫備得榮耀的器皿上，彰顯祂榮耀的豐富；這器皿就是我們這蒙祂所召的…。－羅馬書9:23-24
