Daniel Blessed for Choosing the Best, June 16
上帝的儿女-第169章
「过了十天,见他们的面貌,比用王膳的一切少年人更加俊美肥胖」(但1:15)。{SD174.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第169章
We Choose the Best in Health
And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.Daniel 1:15.{SD 174.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第169章
青年人应当置身于能将他们的心完全献给上帝,用自己的力量来荣耀上帝的地方。上帝也会赐给他们聪明智慧,使他们得到尊荣。但以理在巴比伦的宫廷里,在异教的败坏中,就是这样坚持原则的。「但以理却立志不以王的膳和王所饮的酒玷污自己」。{SD174.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第169章
The youth should stand in a position where their hearts may be wholly the Lord’s; where they are honoring God with their strength. God will then honor them by giving them knowledge and wisdom. Thus did Daniel in the courts of Babylon, standing true to principle amid the corruptions of the heathen. “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank.”51{SD 174.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第169章
但以理和他的同伴不能预见他们决定的后果,但他们知道自己也许要付出生命的代价。然而他们决心严格遵守节制的原则,即使是在巴比伦放荡的宫廷里。{SD174.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第169章
Daniel and his companions knew not what would be the result of their decision; they knew not but that it would cost them their lives; but they determined to keep the straight path of strict temperance even when in the courts of licentious Babylon.52{SD 174.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第169章
从但以理和他在巴比伦的同伴的榜样中,我们可以看到,人不可能一方面信奉那不顾原则,为环境所左右的宗教,一方面要达到上帝为祂的儿女所树立的崇高标准。凡希望侍奉天上上帝的青年人,不能放纵属世的娱乐,吃削弱体力的珍肴,喝烈性的酒,虽然这些饮食是世上的达官贵人摆在他们面前的,若拒绝就可能会得罪他们。他们也许认为自己得到了殊荣;出于礼貌,他们也要接受这份盛情。但基督徒的首要动机,应该是忠于天上的上帝,惟恐得罪祂。巴比伦王以为自己赐给但以理和他的同伴很大的恩惠;但他们却尊重上帝的命令过于王的恩宠。……上帝已经尊荣了但以理。祂也必尊荣每一个像但以理那样尊敬上帝的青年人。{SD174.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第169章
By the example of Daniel and his fellows in Babylon, we see that it is impossible to reach the standard which that Lord would have His children reach, and practise an easy, accommodating kind of religion that leaves principle out, and is controlled by circumstances. Youth who would serve the God of heaven, cannot engage in worldly merriment, eat of enervating luxuries, or drink strong drink because it is set before them by the honored or wealthy men of the world, whom they fear to offend by refusing their favors. They may think that they have been especially honored, and that courtesy demands the acceptance of the favors proffered them; but loyalty to God must take the precedence, and fear to offend the Lord of heaven must control the Christian. The king of Babylon thought that he was bestowing great favors upon Daniel and his fellows; but they had respect unto God’s commandments more than unto the favor of the king.... God honored Daniel, and He will honor every youth who takes the course that Daniel took in honoring God.53{SD 174.4}[4]
