Daily Devotion 每日灵修

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – If anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.

The moment when you wake up, thoughts are already rushing into your mind without your permission. Regardless it is a good thought or a bad thought, every day there are thousands and thousands of thoughts dominating you. If you never filter those thoughts that go around your mind, you will start to lean to them and live life defeatedly. Your mind is a battlefield, and a battlefield is a place of conflict and disagreement. Likewise, the devil is throwing a lot of lies and disagreement to you, making you doubting and disagreeing what the Word of God says.

The Word of God is the truth. Thus, if you want to have a right living, you have to have a right believe, and of course a right believe starts with right thinking. Therefore, start to meditate the Word of God, think of Jesus, putting Him before you, for He is lovely, He is true, He is right, He is the only one who is admirable. As you start to take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, you will never lose this battle! For you have already won through Christ, and all you need is to fight to believe! Believe that you are already healed, you are already blessed, you are the head and not the tail; and believing comes from the Word of God!

弗 6:13 - 所以，要拿起神所赐的全副军装，好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌，并且成就了一切，还能站立得住。

当我们口里认耶稣为主，心里信神叫祂从死里复活那一刻开始，神就赐给我们一份礼物，就是神的属灵军装。这份属灵的军装是帮助我们在这世上能够活得精彩，能够在磨难的日子，依然站立得稳，不至摇动。是的，在这恶者掌权的世上我们是有苦难，但是耶稣却告诉我们，叫我们可以放心，因为祂已胜了这世界。（约 16:33）但当我们活在这世上，就会面对种种的问题，有时候这些事却会缠绕着我们，甚至有些时候会绊倒了人。因此，神把这属灵军装赐给祂的孩子们，就是要我们懂得拿起神所赐的权柄，好让我们能够抵挡仇敌，能够灭绝恶者一切的火箭，能够知道恶者的诡计。

今天，我们要用真理当作带子束腰，因为神的话是我们脚前的灯，是我们路上的光（诗 119:105），当我们晓得真理，真理就必叫我们得自由。（约 8:32）因此，真理在我们的生命中扮演着非常重要的角色，是指引我们前面的路。接着，用公义当作护心镜遮胸，我们既因信称义，就藉着耶稣基督与神相和。（罗 5:1）要知道无论如何，在基督里我们都是不被定罪的，因为有耶稣成为我们的义。再下来，又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上，我们的一天若要看到接结出丰盛的果子，就要有平安的福音。你知道吗，一双好的鞋子能使我们走更远的路，所以，神平安的福音就是我们的推动力，能使我们纵然活在这世上却仍然有平安。此外，又拿着信德当作藤牌，可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭。我们的信心能使我们站立得稳，不怀疑神所作的一切。或许在我们的生命里有问题的发生，但是我们依然相信在乌云的背后有蓝天，神必把更好的赐给我们。并戴上救恩的头盔，拿着圣灵的宝剑，就是神的道。是的，当我们有了神的救恩，同时我们也有了神的话。因此，我们必须常常默想神的话，把它刻在心版上，昼夜思想。你知道吗，在这全副的属灵军装里，唯一一件能攻击敌人的就是圣灵的宝剑，就是神的道。今天我们之所以能战胜，不是靠我们的肉体，而是因着神的话，因为神的话能攻破一切的营垒，能打败各样的计谋。

所以，朋友们，让我们天天的检查自己是否已穿戴了神全副的属灵军装，好让我们每一天的生命是过的得胜有余，并且是丰盛的。阿门！

Psalm 18:46 - The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Saviour!

Today know that because Jesus has resurrected, therefore you can be assured that you have a life of resurrection! A life of resurrection has no room for death, sickness, poverty to stay; instead a life of resurrection is full of power, is a new life! The Lord lives, it is such a wonderful truth to know that the God you believe in is not dead, but living. When He lives, you can face tomorrow; when He lives, you know that you are in a good hand; when He lives, nothing can stand against you! Therefore, instead of thinking of all the problems around you, be reminded that the Lord lives! He is your Rock, He is your Saviour, and no one else can be greater than your Rock and your Saviour! As He is, so are you in this world, He has no tumor, so do you! He has no sicknesses, so do you! See yourself in Christ today, and knowing that He lives therefore you live!

林前 10:31 - 所以你们或吃或喝，无论作什么，都要为荣耀神而行。

很多人总以为，人得救了是因着神的恩典，不在乎行为，因此我们的行为就不再重要了。其实，救恩的确不是因着我们的行为而得着，但是，我们的行为依然非常重要。因为我们的行为反映出我们的神的性情，因为我们是披戴基督，是与神的性情有份的。基督徒是通过圣经更进一步认识耶稣基督，但外邦人，就是非信徒，是通过我们基督徒的生命来认识耶稣。就好比你告诉一个非信徒，你的神耶稣基督是个光明的神，但你却在暗地里做一些非法的勾当，那么你要如何让人看见你的神是光明正直的神呢？若你告诉人你的神是饶恕的神，但是你的行为却是一直怀恨在心，不能原谅，那么别人如何看见你的神是饶恕的神呢？

朋友们，我们虽然已经得救，但是在我们身边还有许许多多的人还未得救。我们的生命就是一个见证，能够影响身边的人归向神。因此，基督徒不是因着恩典可以放纵，而是因着恩典要更多走一里路。别人不可以做的，我们不是不可以，而是能克制自己不要去做，尤其是那些没有益处的事，例如抽烟，喝酒，赌博等等。我们能够靠着耶稣基督的恩典除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日。（提 2:12） 很多时候，我们的灵沉睡，导致我们体贴肉体的事。所以，我们要常在神的话里，让我们的灵是警醒的，是要让我们的体服我们的灵，好让我们的灵是体贴圣灵的事。（林前 9:27）当我们这样行的时候，必看见我们的生命不再一样。

今天，身为基督徒的我们拥有一切上好并且丰盛的生命，我们拥有神所赐的一切好处。所以，不要再做无知的民，要懂得运用我们的权柄，要知道我们所有的，并且活出在我们的生命中，好让我们的生命是可以把荣耀归给神的。阿门！

Psalm 90:14 - Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

How wonderful it is to be reminded that Jesus loves you early in the morning! No matter what are the daily routines that you have today, what are those works that you find so difficult to settle, take a moment and let yourself be still under the flow of the love of God! He loves you, and this love empowers instead of draining you dry. He supplies, He provides, He gives, He heals, He never take from you but instead gives you all that He has. Therefore, let your morning be satisfied with His unfailing love, never move away and start your day without being satisfied with His love. The moment when you are satisfied, drinking enough of His love supply, you are able to move on the whole day with singing, with joy and full of gladness! That's the secret of having joy in your daily, all you need is that love dose from Jesus, and everything will turnaround!

Psalm 37:5 - Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

Many of times we tend to walk and plan our own ways instead of seeking from the Lord, therefore, many of times we came back with wounds and we have walked through many unnecessary journey. But do you know that what God wants you to do is to commit your way to Him? Trusting Him with all your heart instead of trusting what your mind has been consistently telling you. Although sometimes we do have that strong desire to be in control in our lives, but still we have to know that there's someone greater and stronger and knows all things better than us! God longs to have your trust, however it requires your cooperation with His word and the Holy Spirit, in order to see the way that He leads you coming to pass. Instead of relying on your own analysis and understanding, start to look to Jesus, trust Him, talk to Him and surrender to Him, and you shall see Him bringing them to pass!

在约翰福音第六章有个故事，说到当时耶稣在山上讲道的时候，因为没有预备食物的缘故，因此他们当中有个孩童把自己所有的食物，就是五个饼，两条鱼，献上给众人们一同享用。在那时候，这个小孩可以选择不把自己的食物分享出去，因为当时他所有的食物也只不过是五饼二鱼，根本就不足够给五千人吃，他可以选择自己享用那些食物。但是他却没有，这个小孩把他所有的食物都给了出去，哪怕只是一些些微不足道，却是他的所有。当他这样行的时候，奇迹就发生了。耶稣藉着这五饼二鱼喂饱了五千人，并且还装满丰盛的十二个篮子，这是超乎他所求所想的。

今天，同样的，有时候我们会找借口，觉得自己的一点点并不能成就什么，所以宁愿什么都不给。但是，若每一个人的一点点加起来，就可以成为一座大山了。我们身为主的肢体，是要互相配搭，互补长短的。神给我们什么样的恩赐，我们就在那里服事祂。但是很多时候我们却找了各种各样的理由来推辞，总觉得自己不够好，自己不配得。这时候，想想当时那个小男孩，他不管手中的食物到底够多少人吃，他很单纯的完全献上，因为他知道不在乎他有多少，而是因着神的恩典。同样的今天，我们不要在乎我们有什么，有多少，只要单单的仰望耶稣基督，知道祂的恩典够我们用。不管我们给出去的有多少，神都会供应。

今天，无论在什么方面，是你的经济也好，是你的恩赐也罢，或是你的时间，才干等等，当你越给，神就加倍的祝福你，使你的生命是得胜有余的，就如当初的五饼二鱼，喂饱了五千人，还有剩十二篮子的丰盛。所以朋友们，不要担心你有的不足，不要看自己是渺小的，因为今天成事的不在于我们，而是我们那伟大的神。当我们把自己完全的交托，你必看见在你的生命中有更大的事情发生。阿门！

Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. (‭Exodus‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬ NIV)

It was under a great pressure when the Israelites saw that the Egyptians soldiers were pressing forward to destroy them, likewise you may feel the same today that all the problems are pressing forward to destroy you, you will pressured and afraid. But do you know whom do you belong to? You belong to the God Almighty! And you belong to Him who created the whole universe and can bring dead into life! With Him, all things are possible and there's nothing too difficult that He cannot solve for you! Therefore, do not be afraid, you just need to be still. Still yourself in the Love of God, in His presence and knowing that He is with you. Watch with your own eyes on how He delivered you out from that challenges, sicknesses, debts and problems! And rejoicing knowing that that problems, sickness, debt that you are seeing right now you'll never see them again! So, it's time to say good bye to whatever that do not belong to you! Hence, today know that Jesus is your Deliverer, and the problems, the symptoms, the fear, the challenges that you see today you'll never see again! Stand firm and see how The Lord fights for you! :)

诗 118：8-9 - 投靠耶和华，强似倚赖人；投靠耶和华，强似倚赖王子。

在我们的生命中，有许多的阶段我们必须依靠人。在我们还是婴孩小孩，没有自主能力的时候，我们必须依靠父母亲的照顾；当我们成年了，就必须靠某些人来帮助我们完成一些事项。在我们的生活中，总会遇见各种各样的问题需要靠别人的帮助。但是，无论如何，有人靠车，有人靠马，但我们要提到耶和华，我们神的名。（诗 20:7）因为离了祂，我们什么也不能做。（约 15:5）

朋友们，投靠神的人是大有恩惠慈爱追随着，无论往哪里去，人看见你都要喜欢你，人看见你都要给你机会。当我们投靠神，不依赖自己的聪明时，要看见凡我们手所作都要亨通顺利。你知道吗？当我们投靠在神的翅膀荫下，断没有什么东西能够加害我们。疾病不能，死亡不能，忧愁不能，悲伤不能，失败不能，失望不能，在这世上没有一样东西能使我们遭害，纵然千人万人扑倒在我们左右，但这所有的一切都不能临到我们。因为投靠神的人是有帮助，有避难所，有神成为我们的高台，是我们生命中随时的帮助。更甚的是，投靠耶和华的必不至定罪（诗 34:22），并且是有依靠，更是不至羞愧的。

因此，让我们投靠神，在祂的院宇住一日，胜似在别处住千日。（诗 84:10）真的，让我们回到神的院宇，就是神的话，把它刻在心版上，昼夜思想，这人便为有福。当我们愿意听从神的话，愿意走在祂的旨意里，你就必看见你的生命是更上一层楼，是得胜有余的。阿门！
