Daily Devotion 每日灵修

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!

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！

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! :)

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！

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! ;)

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！

Psalms 4:6-8 (MSG) - Why is everyone hungry for more? "more, more" they say. "more, more." I have God's more than enough, more joy in one ordinary day than they get in all their shopping sprees. At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep, for you, God, have put my life back together.

The moment when you are hungry for more, remember that you have God's more than enough. You are not just having more, you are not just having enough, but the moment when you have Jesus, you are having more than enough! How wonderful! No matter what is going wrong right now, regardless how great is the lack, remember that God shall supply all your need according to his richest in glory. Put up your request to Him, He is your supply and your source! Even when you are in the midst of tears, you have more joy in one ordinary day than you can get in all your shopping sprees! How great is that joy that you can have when you have Christ! Jesus is the one who governs our lives, He is our direction, He is our vision and focus, therefore, remember, even if you are in an ordinary day, the joy of the Lord is abounding and overflowing! Sleep in soundness, for that's what He wants you to have, and He puts your life back together! All the missing pieces that you have encountered, God is now placing them back together! How blessed we are as children of God!

Matthew 3:17 And a voice from heaven said," This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased."
Song of Songs 4:7 All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
Song of Songs 7:10 I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.

Dear friend, do you know that there is someone who loves you so much that willing to sacrifice his own life for your sake?
Because of you, he died young;
Because of you, he been pierced;
Because of you, he been buried;
Because of you, he been crucified;
Because of you, he became poor;
Because of you, he bore all your sins;
Because of you, he been rejected;
Because of you, he been cursed...
This man, is JESUS!
He loves you that He willing to die young and satisfies you with long life;
He loves you that He been pierced and make you whole and well;
He loves you that He been buried and make you become the righteous one;
He loves you that He been crucified so that you can live a life of resurrection;
He loves you that He became poor so that you can become rich;
He loves you and bore all your sins to take away all your sins;
He loves you and been rejected so that you can now be accepted;
He loves you and been cursed so that you are blessed!

No matter what is your past, regardless what mistakes you have done. the love of Jesus will never change.
While we are still sinner, He chose to die for us to redeem us. It is not because we deserve it, but solely because we are His BELOVED.
Is Him who first loves us, He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
So, rejoice and be glad in His unfailing love. Response to His unconditional love and praise Him at all times!

JESUS is forever your lover and you are forever His beloved!

诗篇36：9“因为，在祢那里有生命的源头；在祢的光中，我们必得见光”。

有時候，我們常常忽略了神給我們的感動與帶領，用着我們自認為比較好的方法解決眼前的事情，我們明明知道要耐心等候，要聽主的聲音，但又深怕神没有回应。要等待圣灵的指示，还是擅作主张，于是我们陷入挣扎。。。
神說：“我沒有要你獨自面對，我一直與你同在，永不離開你也不拋棄你（希伯来书13：8），你要来信靠我！”！但很多时候，我們把更多的信心放在自己的能力上，而非神的能力，雖然有时不是故意的，但這樣卻會放大了自己，當專注於自己的優勢與能力時，自然把神放小了，导致祂的能力无法彰显出来。

约翰福音3：30“祂必兴旺，我必衰微”。

耶穌說：“我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子；離了我，你們就不能做什麼”。 無論你的能力有多強，永遠不及於神，若離了祂，所有的功成名就都是枉然，因為祂是我們生命的源头！我们每天都會为手機充電。這就好比神在我們心裡的運行與大能，祂是我們一切能量的來源，是我们的生命气息，我们一生的事都在祂手中，我们的生命是与祂息息相关的。所以我们每一天都需要祂的话。阿门！
