The Future

未来.  Wèilái.

It’s hard to anticipate

What’s up any minute?

You can lose much more than you make,

What then is your take?

Even if you just contemplate

A life that’s simple and straight,

One day we’ll find ourself

Surprised at what’s in the wake?

It’s not just what we think

Life’s just not a funny thing;

Even if we were the very King

We’ll need this Link!

Because we cannot do everything

Without His very Blessing.

So let us keep remembering

The Lord can just make us blink!

很难预料
有什么事吗？
你失去的可能比你赚的多得多，
那你剩下来的有多吗？
哪怕只是想想
简单而直接的生活，
总有一天我们会发现自己
对尾随发生的事情感到惊讶吗？
这不仅仅是我们的想法
生活不是一件有趣的事；
即使我是一个国王
我需要这个链接！
因为我们不能做所有的事

没有神的祝福。
所以让我们牢记
主只会让我们眨眼！

In God’s Hands, written on the 20th of April 2023

In life’s unpredictable dance,

Each moment fleeting, like a trance,

We strive and word to find our stance,

Yet, destiny’s threads weave our chance.

Aas we contemplate a simply way,

Envisioning paths of light, not fray,

The future may hold a twist, a sway,

But in His hands, our fears allay.

For life’s complexities and mirth,

Resembles not a worldly worth,

Though kings and paupers share the Earth,

In God’s embrace, we find rebirth.

With every trial, He’ll guide our sails,

His blessings flow like endless trails,

In times of need, He love prevails,

For in His hands, our future hails.

在上帝的手中，写于 2023 年 4 月 20 日
在人生变幻莫测的舞蹈中，
每一个刹那转瞬即逝，如恍惚，
我们努力和言词来找到我们的立场，
然而，命运之线编织了我们的机会。
Aas我们考虑一个简单的方法，
设想光明的道路，而不是争吵，
未来可能会有转折、摇摆，
但在他的手中，我们的恐惧减轻了。
为了生活的复杂性和欢乐，
不像世俗的价值，
尽管国王和乞丐共享地球，
在上帝的怀抱中，我们找到了重生。
每一次试炼，他都会指引我们的风帆，
他的祝福像无尽的小径一样流动，
在需要的时候，他的爱占上风，
因为在他的手中，我们的未来欢欣鼓舞。

Faith Or Fate: Your Future Depends On It!

January 7, 2007

A well-known Bible teacher said, “The only reason I pray is because the Bible tells me to pray.” He does not believe his prayers or actions have any bearing on the scheme of things. This man is a fatalist. Since everything is predetermined, then there is no use to pray and believe God, because what will be will be. https://christlifemin.org/2007/01/07/faith-or-fate-your-future-depends-on-it/

一位著名的圣经教师说：“我祈祷的唯一原因是因为圣经告诉我要祈祷。”他不相信他的祈祷或行动对事物的计划有任何影响。这个人是个宿命论者。既然一切都是预定的，那么祈祷和相信上帝就没有用了，因为该有的就是该有的。 https://christlifemin.org/2007/01/07/faith-or-fate-your-future-depends-on-it
