Daily Devotion 每日灵修

Isaiah 14:24 The Lord Almighty has sworn, "Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand."

No matter what the circumstance says, do not listen to it but be attentive to what God says, for what the circumstance says cannot determine your life but the word of God does.
God has planned to give you abundant life, so it will be in your life. (john10:10) Poverty has nothing to do with you because Jesus is here to prosper you and supply all your needs according to His glorious riches. (Phil4:19)
God has purposed to give you healthy body, so it will stand in your life. By the stripes of Jesus, you are healed. (Isa53:4-5)
God has planned to bless you wherever you go, so it will be in your life. (Deu28:6) So, no matter where you are, you are blessed with the favor and goodness of God. (Psa23:6)
God has purposed you to be free from condemnation, so it will stand. (Rom8:1) Regardless how many weaknesses you have, stop condemning yourself for Christ has won it all, you are strengthen by the grace of God. (2Cor12:9-10)
God has planned to set you at the high place, so it will be in your life. (Psa91:14) Because the Lord is with you, you are a successful person who holds the position in your career and business. (Deu28:13-14)
God has purposed you to reign in life, so it will stand in your life. (Rom5:17) We can now reign in life by standing on top of the troubles knowing that we are the righteous one because Christ has done it all.

So, stop leaning on our feeling to live our daily life by seeing things happening around us, but instead, look to the cross and the finished work of Christ, it is time for us to receive by faith.
When God is with us, nothing can be against us! (Rom8:31)

创世记 33：14 - 我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢的前行。

这时一幅描述雅各对孩子和群畜和耐心！他知道他的兒女們年幼嬌嫩，牛羊正在乳養的時候，他不忍心他們趕走一天的路程，也不願意去催促他們，他乃是量着他們的力量慢慢地 領他們前行。他知道他们一天能行多少路，他知道他们的能耐有多少；他是经过了考慮，然後才安排他们的行程,所以他对他们说：「我要慢慢地領你们前行。」

今天，耶稣也是这样待我们，祂体恤我们的软弱，祂晓得我们的能耐到那里。 前面的路程我們也向來沒有走過，可是主耶稣曾走過,我们不知道明天会如何，但是祂都知道；我們的前途看似茫然無所知，可是主耶稣祂活在我们未来的时光，祂不受时间与空间的限制。這一程使我們心慌意乱，那一程使我們筋疲力尽，另一程使我们喘不过气来來──其实这些主都嘗过、也走过。所以祂为我们的牧者来引领我们，祂来到我们的程度来迁就我们；祂也差遣圣灵来，好指教我们当行的路；祂知道我们的本体，思念我们不过是尘土（詩103：14）。我们是被囚在祂里面，虽有千人万人仆倒在我们旁边，灾祸却不会临到我们，我们是被恩宠的！前面的路雖然有时候会难行，但是你可以放心！耶稣就在前面行，祂必与你同在，引领你当行的路。啊们！

John 3:17- For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

When you are working in an organization, your employer will give you a job description to tell you what are your responsibilities so that you can carry out your work. Do you know that Jesus' job description has only one thing? That is to save you. Jesus came as a Savior, and as a Savior, His work and responsibility is to save! Therefore, know that you're only not saved from the pit of hell by accepting salvation only, but every single day of your life, He is still a Savior!! He loves it when you call out to Him to save you from all sorts of situation! Dear friends, today know that Jesus came to you not to condemn but to save, therefore put your trust in Him instead of yourself, for He is able to save you from depression, fear and all issues of life!

箴言6：2你就被口中的话语缠住，被嘴里的言语捉住。

每一天，你必须对自己的生命说出信心的话语，因你口中的话语有巨大的创造力，当你說出了一句话，就在賦予这句话生命，它就将心理所渴望的呈现出来。這是一個属灵的原則，而且无论你说好话或坏话，正面或负面的话，你就领受你所说的。因此，很多时候我们是被自己所说的话影响着，牵引着。

所以经上说，我们就被口中的话语捉住，被嘴里的言语捉住；我们常说“從沒好事發生在我身上；我的夢想不会成真；我知道无法升职；我注定是孤独一生。。。”像这一类的宣告就捉住你，阻撓你的生命成長，甚至拦阻福份临到你。

这就是爲何你必須学习如何管好你的口舌，只对生命說出积极的话语，因为你所说出来的，将引导你走向怎么样的人生。話一說出口，不是造就你，就是毁灭你，而这都取决于你。 今天，你信耶稣吗？你信在人所不能的，在神凡事都能吗？你信已经被救赎蒙祝福了吗？当你信，林后4：13说：“但我们既有信心，正如经上记着说：‘我因信，所以如此说话。’我们也信，所以也说话”。哈利路亚！

Jeremiah 29:11- “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.”
‭
My dear friends, you are not without God today, that you do not know whether your future is in a good hand or not. Know that God is outside time, He is not limited by time, and of course He as the Alpha and Omega has already knew your beginning and the end. But you have to know that even if there are negative voices around you, God is the one who holds your future, He has the best interest of you, and He knows where He is leading you to. Therefore, are you trusting God to be God? Or you are trying to take hold of your own? Cease from your own effort and rely on Him instead!
Dear friends, God is taking care of you, constantly and always! He has well planned your future, and it's a plan that is full of peace and hope! Be assured today that your best days are ahead, for God is the planner of your life! :)

罗马书12：19“亲爱的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，宁可让步，听凭主怒。因为经上说：“主说，伸冤在我，我必报应。”

这个世界的教导都是：要存活，就要以牙还牙，这样才不会吃亏，不会被欺凌，当别人做你初一，你就要做别人十五。人怎么对待我们，我们就以同样的方式去对待别人；这是世界的路。其实上帝要我们走的却是反方向，不是以牙还牙，以眼还眼，却是以善报恶。你必然会问，那不是很吃亏吗？难道基督徒就应该这样被欺负的吗？
今天，清楚地了解到，你虽活在这世界，却不是属这个世界，这个世界仍然还是在恶者的掌权之下（约翰一书5：19）。所以，这一切都不是人任意的作为，其实幕后黑手乃是那恶者。它千方百计的想要夺取上帝在你生命中所赐下的福份，它要你认定你的命真的很苦，它要让你觉得生命里没有什么是值得去享受的，它就是要你厌倦生命，以至渐渐地失去盼望，失去活着的精彩。
圣经说，耶和华会为你辩屈的（箴言22：23），祂会为你申冤的，你的委屈，你的泪水，你的心痛，祂都看在眼里，疼在心里。所以，以其要靠自己的能力去为自己辩护，倒不如告诉天父说：父啊，我真的无能为力了，我把一切的忧虑交托，因为你才是我的喜乐与力量。所以，你要很肯定，就算你被误解了，受委屈了，你的天父是你的律师，祂是你的辩护人，祂必定会为你伸冤的！所以，不要再靠自己去做些什么，你只管将一切的重担忧虑卸给祂。
当恶者要来偷窃，杀害，毁坏的时候，不要忘记你有一个最棒的辩护者。凡你被夺取的，祂都会双倍的奉还给你！所以，不要再伤心难过了，天父必定为你伸冤，祂必为你解决难题；所以，放胆的信靠，祂是如此的爱你！

Psalm 136:1- “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.”
‭‭
No matter the surrounding is good or not, but the Lord remains good forever. His goodness is never determine by any of your circumstances, his goodness is not also determine by your feeling, or whether you are able to feel His presence or not, but His goodness remains the same all the time! Therefore, you can always say the Lord is good all the time, and all the time He is good! Irregardless how you feel, be assured that His goodness to you never change, and His faithful love to you endures forever! Mountains may be shaken, hills may be removed, but one thing never change: His love and faithfulness towards you! So Rest in His love today, and be assured that He shall still the storms of your life! Declare to yourself with confident and believe it so today: the Lord is good and His mercy and faithful love endures forever!

Dear friend, are you losing your direction in life? Are you standing in the midst of trouble and do not know what to decide and how to move on?
Though we might face hardship in life, but you can take heart, for Jesus who loves you so much has conquered it all for you. (John16:33)
Maybe you don't know what will happen to you in your future like what the Apostle Paul encountered in Acts20:22-23, but you are to know that the Holy Spirit is now dwelling in you as your counselor who is there to remind you what did Jesus say to you in order for you to walk through the difficult time and enjoy the victory Jesus has won for you! (John14:26 & Romans 8:37)
Remember that your life is to shine and testify how great is our God (Acts20:24), therefore, nothing is too big that God cannot solve for you. What men cannot do, God can. (Mat19:26)
Right now, cast all your cares to God, rest in His love and you will surely experience how He turns water into wine and how He calms the surging seas in your life.
So, let not your heart be troubled nor dismay, your shepherd is ahead of you to clear all the blockages in your life.
Follow Him closely and recognize His voice. You will surely be led to the green pastures and enjoy all that you need in life.
Jesus is the good shepherd, so let's commit our life into His hands and trust Him whole heartedly. (John10:11)
He is our good shepherd, we shall not be in want! (Psa23:1)
He is our good shepherd, we are well protected in Him!
With the leading of our good shepherd, our life are secured and prosperous!
Hallelujah!

彼得前书1：3 愿松赞归于我们主耶穌基督的父神。祂曾照自己的大怜悯，藉耶穌基督從死里复活，重生了我們，叫我们有活泼的盼望。

现今的世界，处处充满着危难，天灾人祸不断，就算是曾经很平静的地方，似乎也不平静了，人们每天都活在恐惧战惊中，人生没有了盼望。然而，基督徒卻是可以有盼望，这盼望不来自人，乃是在基督里的盼望。
基督的復活，带给上帝兒女们的不僅是漣漪般的希望，或是一点的安慰，而是如潮水般不断湧流的盼望，是那不会断绝的指望，因為耶穌的复活是真的，祂所有的应许也都是实在的（林后1：20），祂已经为我们胜过死亡，胜过罪，胜过我们最大的敌人，祂能夠在我們山穷水尽的情況下，为我们开一条出路，为我们带來永生的盼望。
哥林多前书3：1说「因为那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督，此外沒有人能立別的根基」。
这是来自天堂的根基，主耶稣离开天上的宝座降临到我们的世界（約翰福音3：13），所以我们生命的盼望是以耶稣基督为根基。因着祂的一次献祭，给我们的救恩是永不动摇，不会摇摆不定，因为这根基是立在基督这磐石上。啊们！
