基督教艺术家 Iveth Luna 鼓励她的听众相信上帝的时机。

“I always considered myself a really impatient person. And, you know, when God gives you a promise, we think it’s going to happen the next day or maybe in a couple months or the next year,” Luna said of her musical career. “But God gave me a promise when I was 19 in college, and He gave me a vision, and His presence was incredible, and His promise was incredible.”

“我一直认为自己是一个非常缺乏耐心的人。而且，你知道，当上帝给你一个承诺时，我们认为它会在第二天或几个月后或明年发生，”卢娜谈到她的音乐生涯时说道。 “但是当我 19 岁上大学时，上帝给了我一个应许，他给了我一个异象，他的存在令人难以置信，他的应许也令人难以置信。”

She continued, “Ten years later, I am walking in this promise. I am writing music for His people and getting to sing these songs and getting to tour and do all these amazing things for His glory.”

她继续说道：“十年后，我正在践行这个诺言。我正在为他的子民创作音乐，并演唱这些歌曲，并进行巡演，为他的荣耀做所有这些令人惊奇的事情。”

Luna started releasing music in 2022 and has already amassed a fanbase. According to Spotify, she boasts over 31,000 monthly listeners.

Luna 于 2022 年开始发行音乐，并已经积累了一批粉丝。据 Spotify 称，她每月有超过 31,000 名听众。

“I feel like God is always speaking. He’s always speaking, and it’s our job to tune in and listen to what He is speaking over us and current events,” she said of her writing process.

“我觉得上帝总是在说话。他总是在说话，我们的工作就是收听和聆听他对我们所说的话和时事，”她在谈到她的写作过程时说道。

Luna said she asks herself, “What do these people need to hear? What does your church need to hear? That’s a prayer I always ask the Lord — What does your church need to hear? What’s the best message? What do you want to say?”

卢娜说，她问自己：“这些人需要听到什么？你的教会需要听到什么？这是我经常问主的祷告——你的教会需要听到什么？最好的消息是什么？你想说什么？”

“I always invite the Lord into the writers’ room and just lay it out for Him, and I believe He will give us the words,” she concluded.

“我总是邀请主进入作家的房间，为他布置，我相信他会给我们这些话，”她总结道。

Luna’s latest release, “Right On Time,” covers the singer’s trust in God’s plan.

Luna 的最新专辑《Right On Time》涵盖了歌手对上帝计划的信任。

“‘Right On Time’ is so special to me because I have experienced both sides of the coin when it comes to worrying about my future,” she said in a statement about the song. “Whether I find myself rushing and striving for the next thing or having anxiety over the next phase in life, I want to remind my soul of all the times God has been faithful to me in His perfect timing. This song reminds our hearts to have confidence in God’s timing and plan because of His perfect track record. I may not always be on time, but I can trust that God always is.”

“《Right On Time》对我来说非常特别，因为在担心我的未来时，我经历了硬币的两面，”她在一份关于这首歌的声明中说道。 “无论我发现自己在为下一件事而奔波奋斗，还是对人生的下一个阶段感到焦虑，我都想提醒我的灵魂，神一直在他完美的时间里对我忠诚。这首歌提醒我们要对神的时机和计划充满信心，因为他有完美的记录。我可能并不总是准时，但我可以相信上帝总是准时。”

Luna elaborated on her views on God’s timing in an Instagram post.

卢娜（Luna）在 Instagram 帖子中详细阐述了她对上帝时间安排的看法。

“When I was a little girl, I had these dreams of the future and what it could look like for me. I had such faith and belief that they would happen,” she wrote. “When I entered into my late teens the feeling came again every time I would go to a concert, every time I’d watch my favorite singers on TV or hear them on the radio. In my college days at a worship night, a very simple ordinary night I encountered the Lord in a powerful way I could not deny. I felt His never ending love like never before and he gave me a vision.”

“当我还是个小女孩的时候，我就梦想着未来以及它对我来说会是什么样子。我坚信它们会发生，”她写道。 “当我进入十几岁的时候，每次我去听音乐会，每次我在电视上看到我最喜欢的歌手或在广播中听到他们时，这种感觉都会再次出现。在我大学时代的一个敬拜之夜，一个非常简单、普通的夜晚，我以一种我无法否认的强大方式遇到了主。我前所未有地感受到他永无休止的爱，他给了我一个愿景。”

She continued, “In this vision it was a picture of me singing for him, worshiping him. I was not given a timeline, I was not given specifics on what that would look like, just an image of me singing for him. At the beginning I was floored that I was even met with His presence like that. But I think God gave me that promise because He knew I would have to WAIT for it, and He needed me to go back to His promise, back to His character, back to his Word. For so long I chased the dream but I learned He wanted me to seek Him first, because it was in Him that I would find myself and he would set me up at the right time.”

她继续说，“在这个异象中，这是我为他歌唱、敬拜他的画面。我没有得到一个时间表，也没有得到具体的情况，只是一张我为他唱歌的照片。一开始，我什至对他这样的存在感到惊讶。但我认为神给了我这个应许，因为他知道我必须等待，他需要我回到他的应许，回到他的品格，回到他的话语。我追逐梦想很长一段时间，但我知道他希望我先寻求他，因为在他身上我才能找到自己，而他会在正确的时间帮助我。”

“After many years since that vision, I can still say that I am walking in that dream in His perfect timing. I was not ready earlier for this gift he had for me because He knew it would crush me,” Luna concluded. “Whatever you’re waiting for, I promise that God’s plan and His timing is perfection. In this waiting I dare you to sing along to this song that I hope stirs your faith up to believe that His timing for your life is right on time, every time.”

“在那个异象发生多年之后，我仍然可以说，我在他完美的时间里行走在那个梦中。我之前还没有准备好接受他送给我的这份礼物，因为他知道这会压垮我，”卢娜总结道。 “无论你在等待什么，我保证上帝的计划和时机都是完美的。在等待的过程中，我鼓励你跟着唱这首歌，我希望这首歌能激发你的信心，让你相信他每次对你生命的安排都是正确的。”
