【雅4:14】其实明天如何，你们还不知道。你们的生命是什么呢？你们原来是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了。【James4:14 】Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

我们曾雄心万丈地计划：我要做这，做那，我要赚多少钱…以为靠自己的双手可以掌握前途，改变命运。We once made grand plans: I will do this, do that, and earn this much money, thinking that with our own hands, we could control the future and change our destiny. 走过很多年，才发现人心多有计谋，所有的筹算最终归于无有。Yet, after many years, we come to realize that human hearts devise many plans, but all schemes ultimately come to nothing. 人凭着自己的努力，无法挣脱咒诅的枷锁。By our own efforts, we cannot escape the shackles of the curse. 惟有神掌管我们的人生，神的筹算永远立定。神的话怎么说就必怎么成就。Only God holds our lives in His hands, and His purposes stand firm forever. What God has spoken will surely come to pass.

经上说，不要为明日自夸，因为一日要生何事，我们尚且不能知道。Scripture says, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” 也许明天已不在这个世上了。Perhaps tomorrow, we may no longer be in this world. 我们的生命是什么呢？原来是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了。What is our life? It is like a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 既然人生短暂，那就不要筹划，及时享乐吗？If life is so brief, does that mean we should stop planning and simply enjoy life while we can? 终有一天，我们要站在神的审判台前。No, for one day, we will stand before God’s judgment seat. 仅此一生，如何活出意义和价值呢？In this brief life, how can we live with meaning and purpose?

天父，感谢你赐我们生命气息，Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the breath of life. 感谢你赐下你的儿子耶稣基督，感谢你救赎我们，感谢你赐圣灵，赐永生的盼望和奖赏，Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for redeeming us and giving us the Holy Spirit, the hope of eternal life, and the promise of reward. 生命在你手中，一生交在神的手中，才是真正的稳妥。Life is in Your hands, and only by entrusting it fully to You can we find true security. 主若许可，我们才能做这事，或做那事。主啊，求你指教我，数算自己的年日，好让我得着智慧的心，活在你的旨意中。If the Lord wills, we will do this or that. Lord, teach us to number our days so that we may gain a heart of wisdom and live according to Your will.

主，过去已无法改变，明天也无法预料，Lord, the past cannot be changed, and tomorrow is beyond our control. 今天我要来到你的面前，放下自己的骄傲、张狂、惧怕、不信，来寻求你，信靠你，紧紧抓住你，Today, I come before You, laying down my pride, arrogance, fear, and unbelief, seeking You, trusting You, and holding fast to You. 当将一切的事交托在你手中，使我明白你的心意，不是为了做事，是为了遇见你，经历你，得着你，I commit everything into Your hands. Help me understand Your will—not just to accomplish tasks but to encounter You, experience You, and gain You. 结出生命的果子来荣耀你的名，以至见主面时可以坦然无惧。May I bear fruit that glorifies Your name, so that when I stand before You, I may do so with confidence and without fear.（付传道 Pastor Fu）
