Daily Devotion 每日灵修

约翰福音14：27我留下平安给你们，我将我的平安赐给你们。我所赐的，不像世人所赐的；你们心里不要忧愁，也不要胆怯。

纵然在科技如此发达的二十一世纪，人依然无法掌握自己的命运。即使我们每一天都小心度日，作了全备的安全考量，却也不知道什么时候，什么样的事情会发生，就连下一刻钟，我们也无法预知。纵然做足了一切安全保障，也无法担保平安无事。
圣经里有一句话说的很贴切：其实明天如何，我们们还不知道。生命是什么呢？我们原是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了（雅各书4：14）”。所以应当格外珍惜当下，还活着的时候，享受生命，让基督的生命从我们身上彰显出来。
基督徒在世上同样也遭遇患难与问题，但感恩的是，我们有耶稣，我们可以让祂的平安在心里作主（歌罗西书3：15）。腓立比书4：6-7也安慰我们说：“应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念”。
当你觉得孤单、害怕、疲惫、全然无助，记得，有一位救主 - 耶稣基督，祂愿意陪伴你，扶持你，安慰你，呵护你，给你心中踏实的平安。阿门！

Psalm 46:10- “He says, “Be still, and know that I am God..."
‭‭
If you're weary and heavy laiden today, know that Jesus is your ultimate source of rest.
As you come to Him as who you are, as you be yourself and pour out whatever that concerns
you to Him, He will surely take care of you!
My friends, As Christ is, so are you in this world; when the ocean rises and thunders roar against
you, you'll definitely soaring with Jesus above them all! For your victory is found in Christ, for you can
never be defeated by problems, for when even death could not hold Jesus back, nothing can Hold you
back from fulfilling what God has called you to be! He is the King over the flood, and you just need to
be still and know He is your God!

Psalms 69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Hi friend, what will you do when you are troubled with many problems?
How will you response to the anxieties and pressure that surrounding you?
Do you cry when you face big mountain?

You know what, no matter how big the problem may seem to be, Jesus is the greatest and He is above them all!
Therefore, you can now hold on to Him and trust in His unfailing love and unbreakable promises.
When you are in tear, He is there to wipe away your tears when you choose to praise Him and give thanks for what He has done.
When you are weary, praise Him and give thanks to Him for He is the one who gives you rest.
When you are lacking, praise Him and give thanks to Him for He is the sherperd who supplies all your needs according to the glorious riches.
When you are sick, praise Him and give thanks to Him for He is the healer of your life, by His stripes, you are completely healed.
When you are worry, praise Him and give thanks to Him for He is the God who cares for you and daily carries your burdens.

So, take the first step by adjusting your heart to trust in God wholly and eyes on Jesus no matter what is happening in your life right now. Make the decision to praise and give thanks to God, by doing so, you shall then witness how God fights for you and make you more than conquerors in His unfailing love and unshakable words.
When you magnify God, your problems shall become lesser and even flee away!

希伯来书10：23也要坚守我们所承认的指望，不至摇动，因为那应许我们的是信实的。

許多人在事情不如意或遇到困境時，太輕易就屈服，甚至放棄了，而非堅持到底，於是沒過多久就感到灰心失望。這是可以理解的，特別是當我们已经在同样的問題中掙扎許久時，想要乾脆妥協是沒什么好奇怪的。我們会觉得：“唉，這是老毛病了，很难康复的；我的婚姻已經触礁了好久，我还可以有什么期待会有转机呢？我在這個位置已經待了好几年，都快生瘡了，显然地，我只能达到这个职位，我的资质只能到这里。。。
但如果你想活出當下最好的生活，你必須在困境中找到力量；你必须伸展自己，不断提升自己，不要为自己设限。要看你自己是尊贵的，不要贬低自己；要看你的人生是得胜有余的，不是失败的。你的心態应当是这样：我也許无数次被击倒，但我不会一蹶不振；我下定決心要活在得勝之中，我下定决心是作头不作尾，我下定决心要在这些問題中看见出路，因为耶稣已经为我开了一跳又新又活的路（希伯来书10：20）。当然，我不是靠自己，而是靠万军之耶和华的名。哈利路亚！
我們在生命中時有挑戰，都会遭遇不如意的事，但总要记得，得勝生命的关键是去学习在內心重新站起來。阿门！

Psalm 44:7- “but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.”
‭‭
Remember that victory doesn't come by your own effort, instead it is the promise that you receive when you
believe in Jesus Christ. He is a victor, He is a conqueror, He has done and accomplished all things that we by our
might that we could not, so that today as we believe in Him, we are already made more than a conqueror!
My friends, Jesus is greater, He is able and He is willing to deliver and save you! He has given you victory, so therefore
when you trust in Him, He shall never put you to shame. What are your enemies today? No matter it's that challenge that
seems too great, or the uncertainties of your future, or even that sickness that bothers your body, know that Jesus has put
your enemies to shame, not you! He has given you victory over them, not that they have victory over you! You are not defeated,
Jesus is the assurance of your victory in life, you'll rise above, you'll conquer kingdoms, you'll obtain promises, you'll enforce
righteousness and you'll shut the mouth of the lions! When Jesus is with you, who can be against you?

上帝创造了亞当和夏娃，給他们权柄与能力，这意味着，他有权力支配掌管这天地萬有的所有事物。上帝把他們放在美丽的伊甸园說：“要生养众多”。 他們的世界里看似一切完美，直到有一天敌人來到他們的營地，直到他们允许自己与敌人谈话，直到他們吃了分別善惡的果子…
申名记30：19我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；
上帝一再警告他們，不要偷吃分別善惡的果子，但他們仍然选择违背命令。因此，人開始因着罪与神隔絕。就算是处在恩典时代的我们，神也給我們的自由意志，让我們自由的选择，但人总是不按着神的真理道路走，以致走了许多冤枉路。
今天，你选择活在主的爱里吗？还是你仍然觉得，靠自己一意孤行比較好？神确实給我们权柄去做选择，但今天，你的选择真是的走在合身心意的道路上吗？想想亞當和夏娃的例子，千万別错過了神對我們的福份。
詩篇8：6祢派他管理祢手所造的， 使物，就是一切的牛羊、 田野的獸、空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 凡經行海道的，都服在祂的腳下。

Matthew 20:32- Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.

Do you know that God is almighty and there's nothing to difficult for Him? For His name is high and above
all names, therefore, whatever that you can name of today shall bow down to Jesus! Therefore as a child of God,
know that you're no longer underprivileged, but you're full of privileges and blessings as His child!
My friends, All that you need has been accomplished through Jesus' sacrifice at the cross, so know that the healing
you need is done, therefore you can believe and receive today and tell your body "in the name of Jesus, body I declare
you healthy and strong, for you have been redeemed by Jesus at the cross!" Likewise you're with great hope and future,
therefore all that you need to do is to declare to yourself that "my future is good because Jesus is the planner of my life!"
When you eye on Him, you'll know that He is asking you today "what can I do for you?" And the moment when you
truly know that Jesus is in you, for you and with you, no challenge is too big to sink you but you shall rise above all storms
and waves of life!

我打法到你们中间的大军队，就是蝗蟲、蝻子、螞蚱、剪蟲，那些年所吃的我要補還你們。— 約珥書2：25

在人生的旅程中，我們經常會做出錯誤的選擇，比別人走了更多的彎路，這對我們的身心靈都會產生一些長久的影響。我们都会有很多的遗憾与悔恨。但，爱我们的阿爸天父，从不嫌弃我們，也不丢弃我们。即便過去我們做了不當的決定，使自己活在遺憾當中，但我們現在依然可以選擇要如何生活。

我們可以选择继续過着沉淪的生活，让悔恨吞噬自己的生命；也可以选择投向耶穌的懷抱，选择那最稳固的避难所。正如在約珥書2：25中，深呼召以色列百姓悔改，祂應許他們說：「我打法到你们中间的大军队，就是蝗虫、蝻子、蚂蚱、剪虫，那些年所吞吃的我都要补还你们。」是的，當我們回转来信靠祂，谦卑自己，我们必得加倍的好处，代替曾经受过的羞辱（赛61：7）；因祂说“成了”，我们属天的生命也成了。

過去因錯誤選擇所造成的後果可能無法消除，但我們可以堅，上帝為那些信靠祂的人，預備了榮耀和光明的未來。因为神不是预定我们受刑，乃是预定我们藉着我们主耶稣基督得救（帖前5：9）。啊们！

Zechariah 9:12- “Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.”
‭‭
What's bothering you in your mind now? If you are to think deeply into it, you'll realize that most of the thing are not of God.
God is a God of hope, which He doesn't burden you with issues that drain you up, but He supplies you with abundance of grace
and hope! No matter what's going on now, it's time to return! Return not to the challenges in front of you, but return and run back to
the God that loves you so much, that He longs to secure you with His everlasting embrace, He can make wonder in your life! Return
your thoughts to Him, not to the thoughts that defeated you, but to the thought of God that speaks of who you truly are in Christ.
Not only that, you are not the prisoner of hopelessness but you're the prisoner of Hope. When you're prison in hope, you can never
out of hope, you can never be out of confident expectation of good! Why? Because God is real in you, He is your Hope, and He secures
you in His goodness!
So, when Jesus is your fortress and restorer, and guess what? Especially when He has grounded you in hope, start to expect good things are
happening in your life today! He has announced and He shall restore, not just twice, but in abundance!
