Daily Devotion 每日灵修

早晨最重要的事

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

诗 5:3 - 耶和华啊,早晨你必听我的声音;早晨我必向你陈明我的心意,并要警醒。

正所谓一年之计在于春,一日之计在于晨。每一天起身,我们的早晨非常的重要,因为我们一整天的行程在乎你早晨所做的。就如,若一早起身你的心是愉快的,那么你整天的心情是愉快的;若你的心情从一睁开眼睛就很糟的,那么你的一天也肯定好不到哪里去;若你一起身就充满埋怨,那么你的一天肯定离不开埋怨。因此,我们的早晨很重要,而我们应当做的第一件事就是,清早起来赞美主!清早起来我们要与神亲近,因为与神亲近是对我们有益的,是帮助我们的。

朋友们,让我们在一早就把我们所做的事交托耶和华,我们所谋的就必成立。(箴 16:3)当把我们所计划一整天的行程交给神,祂必顾念我们,带领我们,指引我们。因为人心筹算自己的道路,惟耶和华指引他的脚步。(箴 16:9)当我们把所有的交托给神,必看见成功是我们的,丰盛是我们的,喜乐是我们的,平安是我们的,健康是我们的,得胜是我们的!你知道吗?当我们与神亲近的时候,我们的灵是敏锐的,圣灵会启示我们神的一切话,指教我们所当行的路。

当我们听从神的命令,就必不经历祸患,(传 8:5)意思就是,当神与我们同在,人能把我们怎样呢?在这世上的一切都不能搅扰我们,因为我们身上带着耶稣的印记。(加 6:17)朋友们,一早起来亲近神,赞美神,歌颂神是多么棒的一件事。所以,我们应当把早晨的第一件事献给神,让祂来带领我们的一整天,好让我们的生命是活在至高者的隐秘处,是居上不居下,作首不作尾的。阿门!

穿越山谷

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

約翰福音10:10:“ 盜賊來,無非要偷竊,殺害,毀壞;我來了,是要叫羊(或譯:人)得生命,並且得的更豐盛。”

诗篇23開始,“耶和华是我的牧者, 我必不致缺乏,祂使我躺臥在青草地上, 领我在可安歇的水边。 “这是多美丽的一个应许,但隨後在第二节就说到到截然不同的环境,一個看似突然的转变,在第四节中写道:“我虽然行过死蔭的 幽谷, 也不怕遭害, 因为你与我同在; 你的杖,你的竿,都安慰我。 有時候生活就是这样,在意想不到的情況之下,事故和考验会把我们從安逸的光景中带到另一个景况,导致我们无法应付突来的变故。但圣经告诉我们,无论身在何处,不管发生了什么事,上帝都与我们同在。当我们仰望祂,就不害怕;当我们高举祂,问题就成了我们的脚凳。我们是得胜有余的子民!

虽然有时环境看似把我们逼到窘境了,但圣经也说我们只是行过死荫的幽谷,不是永远停留在低谷;换句话说,我们不会永远停留在贫穷、病痛、悲伤里,当我们是上帝的儿女,是活在光明当中的,因我们都是光明之子(贴撒罗尼迦前书5:5)。祂正带领我们活出一个全新的生命,我们要將眼目专注於祂的良善与信实,要知道祂对我们的心意是好的。

今天,把你的想法與眼光转向神,让祂帶领你,在你属灵的眼睛看见祂帶領你穿越山谷,通往一個勝利的门槛。阿门!

Do Not Let It Go

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Proverbs 4:13 - Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.

You may be holding on to the word of man for a long time, that word that hurts you make you unforgettable,
and all the more you meditate on it, all the more you are angry and grumble. Today, know that the Word of God is life and is spirit,
the Word of God is irrevocable, the Word of God is our bread, the Word of God never tears us down but builds us up.
Instead of meditating and hold on to what people have said, meditate and hold on to His Word.
Do not let it go, put His Words before your eyes, see everything through the lens of His Word, guard it well in your heart and
do not let it depart from you. When you hold on to it and do not let it go, it is your life! and you shall see the fruits of His Word
manifest in your daily life!

Who You Are In Christ

Monday, December 15, 2014

Isaiah 51:12 - "I, even I, am he who comforts you,. Who are you that you fear mere mortals, human beings who are but grass.

Who are you? The moment when you accepted Jesus Christ, you have to know that your identity has changed.
You are no longer a sinner, but you are righteous; you are no longer an orphan, but God has become your Father.
It is so important that as a child of God, we understand our identity in Christ. The moment when you do not know who you are in Him,
you will not live life as who He has made you to be. Therefore, remember that in Christ, you are righteous, you are blessed,
healed, you are the child of the God Most High, you are more than a conqueror!
Keep yourself be reminded on your identity in Christ, knowing that you are always a victor and not a victim,
you are the head and not the tail, you are above and not beneath! Therefore, you can fear not, for nothing is greater than Jesus,
and nothing that God cannot settle for you!

我们在基督里

Monday, December 15, 2014

约 16:33 - 我将这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经胜了世界。

当我们口里承认耶稣为主,心里信神叫祂从死里复活那一刻开始,我们就有一个保护层护卫着我们,而这保护层就是我们的主耶稣基督。当我们在基督里,我们有平安,我们有喜乐,我们有福气,我们有大爱,我们有丰盛,我们有一切上好属于我们的福分。而这所有的一切不是我们所赚取的,而是从神而来的,是神所赐给我们的,是耶稣基督在十字架上的完工。

朋友们,今天我们的肉体虽活在这世上,但我们不属这世界,我们只是客旅,只是寄居的,(彼前 2:11)这世上的一切都不属于我们。这世上虽有苦难,就是一切的害怕,疾病,缺乏等,这些都不是我们的,因为我们是天国的人,世上的一切都与我们无关。要认定我们的身份,时时刻刻的提醒自己,我们是神的儿女,是蒙召继承祂产业的一群,是神所爱的,是祂手中的至宝。因着神爱我们的心,所以祂差派了耶稣基督,承担了我们一切的罪孽,好叫我们能与神相和,能享受上好的福分,并且过着得胜有余的生活。如今我们能享有这一切,乃是因为耶稣基督已为我们战胜了,祂已胜了这世界,已战胜一切黑暗的势力,死亡的权柄。

如今,活着的不再是我们,乃是基督在我里面活着,因我们已与耶稣基督同钉在十字架上了。(加 2:20)祂是完全的,我们藉着祂也是完全的;祂是健康的,我们藉着祂也是健康的;祂是富足的,我们藉着祂也是富足的;祂是平安的,我们藉着祂也是平安的;祂是喜乐的,我们藉着祂也是喜乐的!我们能拥有这一切,只因祂如何,我们在这世上也如何!阿门~

看为美好的

Monday, December 15, 2014

耶利米哀歌3:23-24
每早晨这都是新的;你的诚实极其广大!我心里说:“耶和华是我的份,因此,我要仰望祂。”

當一件事不如你預期時,不需要為此生氣,不要讓小事偷走你的喜悅,因為每一天都是上帝賜予的禮物,生命太短暫,不要把生活想的這麼負面,你要相信祂會引导你的腳步,相信祂必赐你聪明智慧,来解決一切难题,甚至是那些你連想都沒有想過的問題。如果你保持冷靜,定睛在上 帝的话语和應許上,所有事情都會看為美好,超過你所求所想!

“我們曉得萬事都互相效力,叫愛上帝的人得益處,就是按祂旨意被召的人。” (羅馬書8:28)

你準備好享受当下了嗎?你渴望心裡能夠更新而变化吗?这表示你有許多事情应该学习放手了。你可以用一種不一樣的心情與態度來面對這些事情,就像以弗所书4:22-24说的,要脱去从前行为上的旧人,又要将心志改换一新,并且穿上新人;这新人就是耶稣。啊们!
約翰福音14:27說:“我留下平安給你們;我將我的平安賜給你們。我所賜的,不像世人所賜的。你們心裏不要憂愁,也不要膽怯”。學習如何敞開心,让上帝在你生命裡動工,翻轉你的人生!哈利路亚!

Your Help Comes From Jesus

Sunday, December 14, 2014

Psalms 121:1-2 - I lift up my eyes to the mountains - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Even when you are in great distress now, or you lost your direction in life, remember not to look at the problems
and think that you are forever at the same level. Do you know that Jesus has conquered it all at the cross, He has won
the victory for you? The moment when you accept Jesus, you are no longer a failure, you are a victor, not a victim. You are
more than a conqueror! Therefore all the problems that you can see with your eyes now are no longer at the same level with
you, they are under your feet. Hence, you can look down at the problems and say "You cannot overcome me sickness!""You cannot overcome me poverty!" "You cannot overcome me cancer!" Because of Jesus, you are now at the right hand of the Father
that is your position, a position of victory!
Lift up your eyes and remember your help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. And if the Maker of heaven and earth is your helper, what shall you afraid of? Whom shall you fear? Remember, when Jesus is with you, nothing can be against you!

Came True

Saturday, December 13, 2014

Numbers 11:23 - The Lord answered Moses, "Is the Lord's arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you."

Do you know that God is a keeper of His Word? He keeps His word and He is watchful to see it accomplish in your life.
Therefore, no matter what are you encountering now, maybe the word of man told you that it is impossible to get healed,
maybe the word of man told you that this challenge is too big to overcome, maybe the word of man told you it is because of genetic,
but, do remember that we are from God, our genetic is from God, that as He is so are we in this world!
The arm of the Lord is not short, He is still the same mighty God that brought Moses over the Red Sea, the same might God that helped David in defeating Goliath,
the same God that protected Daniel in the dens of the lion. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Therefore now is the time that you see with your own eyes, and when you can believe, you shall see the glory of God!
See and witness yourself whether or not the Word of God will come true to you, taste and experience Him! Then you will know that when He keeps His Word,
He keeps His promise on your finance, your family, your health and so much more! Trust in Jesus and you will not be put to shame! He has came true in our lives, so worry not!

思想与想念

Saturday, December 13, 2014

诗篇 1:2 惟喜爱耶和华的律法,昼夜思想,这人便为有福!
诗篇 48:9 神啊,我们在你的殿中,想念你的慈爱。

亲爱的朋友,在你日常生活中所思想和想念的是什么?你知道吗,我们是神奇妙的创造,因我们有个脑在一刻钟里能想很多东西?每一刻能有几千个不同的想法进来。
所以,今天,什么思想最能够影响你?是积极的还是消极的?好的还是坏的?可能或是不可能?
你想的是怎样的,你就是怎样的。所以你是想你所面对的问题?还是想那领你得胜的神?
朋友,与其思想和想念那不能帮你的问题,何不将那专注放于默想那给你力量且使你前进的应许呢?
停止思想你身上的痛,反之,思想耶稣那能医治你的完工。
不要停止在思想你的缺乏不足,但要开始默想神那不断的供应。
停止思想那压抑你的压力,开始想念那胜过世界并且给你平安过着没有压力的生活。

亲爱的朋友,不管你现在面对着什么,无论事情看起来会有多难,不断的想念耶稣那不变的爱还有神那信实不改变的应许!
很肯定的,你必看见并经历那不好的变成好,不可能的变成可能!
大受祝福!

Meditation

Friday, December 12, 2014

Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
Psalms 48:9 Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.

Dear friend, what are you meditating in your daily life? Do you know that we are special creation by God that we have a brain and mind which able to think and meditate many things in a single moment? Each moment there might be thousands of thoughts come in.
So, today, what are the thoughts that affect you the most? Positive or negative one? Good or bad? possible or impossible?
You are what you meditate. So you are meditating the problems you are encountering? Or the God who leads you into triumph?
Friend, instead of thinking and meditating on the problems that cannot help you, why not turn your focus to meditate on the promises of God that strengthen you and help you in moving forward?
Stop meditating on the pain in your body, but instead, meditate on the finished work of Jesus Christ that heals you.
Do not keep on meditating the lacks in your life, but start to meditate the endless supplies of God.
Stop meditating on the stress that are pressuring you, start to meditate the Lord your God who has overcome the world and has given you peace to live a life of stress-free.

Dear friend, no matter what you are facing right now, regardless how hard it might seem to be, keep on meditating the unfailing love of Jesus and His faithful as well as powerful promises which never fails!
Surely, you will see and experience how bad turn to be good and impossible become possible!
Be blessed!

神要应验祂的话

Friday, December 12, 2014

民 11:23 - 耶和华对摩西说:“耶和华的膀臂岂是缩短了吗?现在要看我的话向你应验不应验!”

很多时候,我们会听到身边的基督徒在问,“我已经祷告了那么久,到底神有没有垂听我的祷告?” 、“ 神的话说我们是公义的,真的有那么容易吗?”、“经上记着说,神的百姓是蒙福的,真的吗?” 我们会听见许许多多神的孩子们对于神的应许还在怀疑,不能全然的相信神的应许。也有许多人觉得不可能那么容易得着神的应许,因为自己的生命都得不着,看不见神的应许成就在自己的生命里。其实,神的话一出神的口里说出,就绝不徒然返回,却要成就祂所喜悦的。今天,人非有信,就不能得神的喜悦,因为到神面前来的,必须信有神,且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人。(希 11:6)我们的神不是说谎话的,祂更不会背弃祂的约。很多时候人得不着,不是因为神反悔,而是人的心没有真的去寻求祂。你可否知道?神的心比我们更急着要我们得着祂所赐给我们的一切!

当神的话说,祂赐福给祂的百姓,(诗 3:8)祂比谁都更想要祂的百姓得着一切的福分;当神的话说,祂使我们足享长寿(诗 91:16),要使我们的日子增多,年岁也加添(箴 9:11),就足以显得祂比谁都更在乎我们在这世上的日子;当神的话说,耶稣基督本来富足,却为我们成为贫穷,好叫我们可以因着祂的贫穷而成为富足。(林后 8:9)在这里就足以见得神的心意是要叫我们过得富足而不是凄凄惨惨的生活;神的话说,要我们靠主常喜乐,(腓 4:4)因为祂知道我们在世上难免会有劳苦愁烦,但是祂不愿看见我们因此而消沉,因此祂要我们在我们不能够喜乐的时候,考着耶稣基督得着刚强,靠着耶稣基督得着喜乐。

朋友们,神的话句句都是炼净的,是实在的。祂昨日、今日、一直到永远都是不改变的。(希 13:8)所以祂的应许对我们也不会改变,更不会让祂的应许落空的,因为祂不能背弃自己。因此,让我们紧紧跟随神的话,相信祂的话,要看见祂的每一个应许都要应验在我们这些寻求祂的人的生命里。(书 23:14)阿门!

不致失望

Friday, December 12, 2014

哥林多后书4:8 我们四面受敌,却不被捆住;心里作难,却不致失望;

每一天,生活都会帶來許多新的機遇,並有成千上萬的選擇。我们的每一决定都会导致截然不同的结果。每一个早晨当我们起身,我要选择信靠神,让圣灵来引领,还是选择靠自己?靠着血气行事?还是圣灵行事?这都在于我们,申命记30:19说【今日呼天唤地向你作证,我将生死祸福陈明在你面前,所以你要拣选生命,使你和你的后裔都得存活】;罗马书8:6也说【体贴肉体的,就是死;体贴圣灵的,乃是生命、平安】。

每個人都会面臨困難,都有障礙要克服,然而有一位神可以帶領我們超越自己的困境,只要我们放手,愿意交托,祂必抚养我们,祂永不叫义人动摇(诗篇55:22)。

今天你可能有一些負面的事情發生,可能會面臨一些挑戰和意外,但要記住,你不是一人,你不会没有指望,更不会就这样一败涂地,你有一位爱你的天父,祂让要兴起你,并且加倍的赐福给你(以赛亚书61:7)。啊们!

Meditate His Word

Thursday, December 11, 2014

Psalms 1:2 - but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

How you react in life and how you response towards situation shows what you believe inside.
Likewise, what you're speaking of everyday shows what you believe inside.
Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God. You're to constantly listen to His Word
Instead of other people's words; because faith comes only when you hear the Word!
The psalmist said delight in his word, to delight means you're happy and you find pleasures in his Word.
You just love it and it makes you happy! Therefore, love His Word and meditate on it day and night,
Every single moment meditate on what Jesus has said, and your life can turnaround!
My friend, a right believing produces a right living, what you meditate on today can greatly affect your life, therefore choose not to meditate your problems but the Word of God. Day and night remembering what He says, as you delight in His Word, you're blessed! :)

Forget Not

Wednesday, December 10, 2014

Psalm 103:2- Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits

Today forget not what Christ has done for you at the cross,
Forget not His faithfulness,
Forget not how He loves you with an everlasting love,
Forget not how He let down His life at the cross because of you,
Forget not that He never leaves you nor forsakes you,
Forget not His grace is sufficient for you,
Forget not His supply is always there for you,
Forget not that He is a good shepherd and He takes care of you,
Forget not how He removed your sin with His blood,
Forget not how He redeemed and keeps you safe from all harms!
There are a lot of things that you are to forget not, for the benefits that Christ has blessed us with are so tremendous that we simply cannot count!
Therefore, instead of choosing to stay in fear, worry and complains, know that your soul can listen to you. Let your soul praise Jesus, and remember all that he has done for you. Forget not Jesus, praise The Lord for he has been good to you! :)

不与世界同伙

Wednesday, December 10, 2014

弗 5:7 - 所以你们不要与他们同夥。

我们知道,这世界是卧在恶者的手下,(约一 5:19)因此在这世界上有许许多多的问题存在。虽然我们是活在这世上,但是我们却是分别为圣,是与这世界不一样的。从前,当我们还不认识耶稣基督以前,我们是暗昧的,是活在黑暗中的。但如今我们在主里面是光明的,我们的行事为人就当像光明之子。(弗 5:8)纵然很多时候我们觉得有些事情是理所当然的,但是若不是出于真理,我们就不妥协。就好比很多时候我们觉得活在这世上,难免会有世界的思想。俗语说,借酒消愁,一醉解千愁等等,因此每当在生活上遇到问题时,第一时间就想到去喝酒,好个借酒消愁。但是,真理却不是这样告诉我们,经上说:不要醉酒,因为酒能使人放荡。(弗 5:18)其实,就算醉了又如何?问题依然存在,没有解决。酒醒了以后还是倒回原点。身为光明之子的我们,要懂得把我们的重担卸给神,因为祂顾念我们,神说:“我使你的肩得脱重担,你的手放下筐子。” (诗 81:6)

我们不要人云亦云,不要在这世上随波逐流,别人怎样,我也应该要这样。我们不要效法这个世界的种种,乃是要效法耶稣基督,这样,我们才能过着得胜的生命。我们要清楚地知道,今天我们已是新造的人,旧事已过都变成新的了。而耶稣基督也早在两千多年前为了我们走上十字架,成就了一切,我们如今是属神的,是祂的后嗣,是祂所眷顾的。唯有神的后嗣,才能得以继承神所有的一切丰盛,而这丰盛已经成就了,并且已给了我们,好叫我们在这个世上是得胜有余的,是作首不做尾,居上不居下的。

朋友们,既然我们已有了全新又上好的身份,为什么我们还要回到过去?还要效法这世界呢?世界所能给的不过是劳苦愁烦,转眼成空的,唯有神的话,祂的一切是永远立定。因为祂是不说谎的神,祂口说出的绝不徒然返回的,祂是信实的。所以,我们即已成为神的后嗣,就不要像外邦人一样行事,乃要与我们蒙召的恩相称。让我们的生命是持定神的话,谨守遵行,因为神的话使我们明白我们的身份,神的话时时刻刻指引我们,引领我们走在对的道路上,神的话就是我们的生命。阿门!

耶稣已经为你我承担了

Wednesday, December 10, 2014

诗篇81:6 - 神说:我使你的肩得脱重担,你的手放下筐子。
诗篇55:22 - 你要把你的重担卸给耶和华,祂必抚养你;祂永不叫义人动摇。

我们常会看到,船只经常因为超载而沉沒,导致丧失了许多宝贵的生命。船身都画有载重线,以显示船隻是否超载。但人常因着某种因素,而罔顾安危,结果导致悲剧的发生。

我们的生命有時就像那些货船,承载了過多的惧怕、掙扎,忧虑,甚至觉得自己即將葬身海底。然而,若我们知道自己的身份是谁,拥有什么,可以做什么,我们就不会害怕了。纵然我们跌倒,依然可以站立起来,人生依然可以有美好的盼望。耶稣时刻都在,祂要来帮助我们,给们力量与勇气。所以彼得前书5:6-7:说“你们要自卑,服在上帝大能的手下,到了时候,祂必叫你们升高。你们要將一切的忧虑卸給 神,因為祂顾念你们”。哈里路亚!

上帝已经承但了我们負荷不了的重但,藉着祂的独生爱子的埋葬与复活,在我们还是罪人的时候就为我们死,使我们被称为义人,得以脱去那些缠绕我们的重担,祂一次过的还清我们的罪债,我们已经无债一身轻了。
虽然生命的考验有时很重,但我们無须担心,因为天父知道我们的一切,祂深知我们的极限,体恤我们的软弱,无论我们面对的情况如何,祂都与我们同在。

亲爱的天父,有时我们感觉軟弱,
筋疲力尽,再也撐不下去了,
但是,谢谢祢比我自己更清楚我自己,
靠著祢的大能,我找到力量走下去,
我虽然经历困境,但却使我更倚靠你。啊们!

Never Drives You Away

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

John 6:37- All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

How wonderful to know that those who come to Jesus, he will never ever drive them away!
There might be times when you're seeking help from people, or just a comfort, but whenever they can't even help themselves, they will drive you away and leaving you with no solution. Back to square one, you're looking for help, you're looking for comfort and strength, but you found none.
Why not come to Jesus? When you come to Him, He never drives you away. He accepts you for who you are, regardless how worst was your past, no matter how bad was your temper, He loves you and when you were a sinner He chose to die for you. That's how much he loves you!
Proven by what he did at the cross, but just by words.
Therefore, be reminded today that Jesus loves you, and He will never ever drive you away. At every single moment, He never leaves you or forsakes you; He is the best companion, your refuge and strength, and your everlasting help! Come to Him and you'll find all that you need, enjoy His embrace and love today!

Remain in Christ

Monday, December 8, 2014

John 15:7 - If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Do you know that the moment when you are departing from your source of life, you cannot do anything?
Jesus is the source of our lives, like a branch connecting to a vine in order to get its supply and nutrients,
Likewise, we are to connect to our vine, Jesus, in order to get our daily supply and nutrients!
Jesus provided us a solution and method of connecting with Him, which is through His Word,
He says when you remain in me, my words remain in you. Connecting to Him simply means connecting to His Word,
For he and the Word are one, and how much time you spend on the Word equals to how much time you spend with Him.
The moment when you are connected with Him, you're allowing Him to download goodness and blessings into your life!
Choose to remain in Him by having His Word, ask whatever that you need, and it shall be done for you! ;)

让我们的生命,归荣耀给神

Monday, December 8, 2014

加 1:24 - 他们就为我的缘故,归荣耀给神。

基督徒,其实是神的活招牌,是耶稣基督的广告。你知道吗?世人如何看待基督,就是藉着你的生命。我们基督徒的生命,我们的一举一动,世人都在观察;我们的每一句话,人都在听,都在一旁论断。因此,我们的生命,我们的一举一动,我们的每一句话,都要与福音相称,就是要与神的话相称,(腓 1:27)好叫我们在这弯曲悖谬的世代,作神无瑕疵的儿女,好像明光照耀。(腓 2:5)

我们被召,就要与蒙召的恩相称。(弗 4:1) 我们的生命要如何与神的恩相称?就是要与神的话是一致的,是合一的。也就是说,若神的话说我们是丰盛的,那么我们的生命就要活出丰盛;若神的话说我们是可以靠主喜乐的,那么我们的生命就要是喜乐的;若神的话说我们是得着医治的,那么无论有什么疾病,我们都相信我们是健康的;若神的话说我们是被爱的,那么我们的生命就要充满爱;若神的话说我们是自由的,那么我们的生命就不要再被捆绑,是能够得着释放的;若神的话说我们是义人,那么我们就不要觉得自己还有罪,不配得着神的应许。而这一切,都不是能够靠我们自己做成的,这一切乃是神的恩典,是神白白地赐给我们的。

虽然我们仍旧活在这世界上,但是我们能与这世界的作风不同,因为我们是被非别为圣的一群,是以耶稣基督为主的百姓。因此,我们不可徒受祂的恩典,乃要靠着耶稣基督的恩,敬虔度日,好叫世人看见我们的生命是不一样的,让我们可以帮荣耀归给神。当这世界是败坏,是风暴之时,我们在主里仍是被兴起的,我们不会被这世界的一切震动、影响,因为我们有主耶稣成为我们的避难所,祂更是我们随时的帮助。所以,让我们活出基督的样式,好叫我们的生命是归荣耀与神的。阿门!

改变心境

Monday, December 8, 2014

申命记23:5然而耶和华你的神不肯听从巴兰,却使那咒诅的言语变为祝福的话,因为耶和华你的神爱你。

我们活在世上总会多多少少受过伤害,有伤害就有痛,有同就会有伤痕。如果你一直活在过去的阴影里,现在的你还是伤痕累累的活着,对未来也是暗淡无光,没有盼望。过去的阴影就像一股无形的绳索,紧紧的把你绑住,当你想要前进时,就把你往后拉,即使苦苦挣扎也无法挣脱。
如果要活得喜乐,就需要忘记背后,活在当下。要如何才是忘记背后呢?已经发生过的事情,根本无法更改。怎可能忘记呢?我又没有失忆。那么就以另一个角度来看待吧!那就是我们可以该变自己的态度,改变对那些伤害的想法,改变对过去事情的看法。罗马书8:28说万事都互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按祂旨意被召的人。
有一句话说:当你面向黑影,太阳就在你背后;当你面向太阳,黑影则在你背后。让黑影留在你背后,就是让过去从未过去,翻开生命新的一页,重新出发。
对于无法改变的过去,我们只能选择放手,如果紧捉着不放,只会自讨苦吃。因着耶稣对我们的大爱,我们要善待自己,不要再作茧自缚了。上帝已经藉着耶稣基督,给了我们全新的人生。阿门!
