"私たちの義務は聖書の中に示された神の意志に見出されます。私たちの信頼は神の主権的な意志に置かれなければなりません。なぜなら、神は私たちの善と彼の栄光のために、私たちの日常生活の通常の状況の中で働いておられるからです。"
— Jerry Bridges
Simplified Meaning:
We need to look to the Bible to understand what God wants us to do. The Bible gives guidelines and teachings on how to live our lives and make the right choices. At the same time, we should trust that God has a plan and is in control of everything that happens to us, even the everyday things that seem small or unimportant. Believing this helps us stay calm and hopeful, knowing that God is working through our daily experiences to help us grow and to show how great He is. For example, if you are facing a tough time at work, instead of worrying too much, you can follow what the Bible teaches about working hard and being honest, and trust that God is using this situation for a greater purpose – maybe to develop your character or to ultimately lead you to a better opportunity. It's about doing our best according to God's teachings and trusting His bigger plan for us.
