閱讀了一篇屈原與聖經人物耶利米的對照，東方的屈原與西方的耶利米境遇相似，屈原懷才不遇，鬱鬱寡歡，從失望到絕望，最終投江自盡。而我很欣賞耶利米，他給我極大的鼓勵，即使當時君王不聽他諫言，也無人肯定他傳神的話語，但他仍然忠於神所託付他的，尤其說出每早晨都是新的，祢信實極其廣大！這是何等有盼望的信心啊！他深知他的成功與否不是這個世界來界定的，只忠於所託，不計世俗的名利功成，願以耶利米為榜樣。

I read a comparison between Qu Yuan and the biblical character Jeremiah. Qu Yuan in the East is in a similar situation to Jeremiah in the West. Qu Yuan was unsuccessful and depressed. From disappointment to despair, he finally committed suicide. And I admire Jeremiah very much. He provided me great encouragement. Even though the king did not listen to his advice, and no one appreciated that he spoke the words of God at his time, but he was still loyal to what God entrusted him. Especially his saying of that every morning is new , how great is thy faithfulness ! What a hopeful faith this is! He knows that his success is not defined by this world. He is only loyal to what God entrusted him, regardless of worldly fame and success. May we follow Jeremiah as an example.

「我成了全體百姓的笑柄， 成了他們終日的歌曲。

我心想念這些， 就在我裏面憂悶 。 但我的心回轉過來， 因此就有指望； 因耶和華的慈愛，我們不致滅絕 ， 因祂的憐憫永不斷絕， 每早晨，這都是新的； 祢的信實極其廣大！ 我心裏說：「耶和華是我的福分， 因此，我要仰望祂。」 凡等候耶和華，心裏尋求祂的， 耶和華必施恩給他。」- 耶利米哀歌 3:14, 20-25

「I have become the laughingstock of all peoples, the object of their taunts all day long.

My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.」- Lamentations 3:14, 20-25 ESV

祈禱：

「我竭力遵守祢的命令， 因為祢使我更有悟性。耶和華啊， 求祢將祢的律例教導我， 我必遵守到底。 求祢叫我明白祢的律法， 使我可以全心遵守。 求祢引導我遵行祢的命令， 因為這是我喜愛的。」- 詩篇 119:32-35 CCB

Prayer：

「I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding. Teach me your decrees, O Lord; I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart. Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found.」- Psalms 119:32-35 NLT
