赛 54:2 - “要扩张你帐幕之地，张大你居所的幔子，不要限止；要放长你的绳子，坚固你的橛子。

我们生活在这世上，会给自己在各方面有很多的限制。所以很多时候，我们有许多的东西不是不能做到，而是不知道原来自己能够做得到。因为在最起初的时候，我们就已经先给自己一个限制，觉得自己不可能能够做超过这些以外的事。有时候是在自己的才干方面；有时是在自己的经济上；有时是在时间上；有时是在能力上；也有是在思想上等等。或许我们总觉得我们在某些事情上已经达到了极限，不可能能够给再多了，但是往往我们却是低估了自己的限度，把自己给看轻了。

朋友们，今天当我们愿意的时候，我们的主赐给我们是毫无限量的。祂要扩张我们的帐幕，让我们的生命是可以更加伸延，能够多走一里路的。就比如若今天你看见一个人需要帮助的时候，与其在一直的在想我是否能够，倒不如真的踏出那一步，你就会看见那不被限制的能力在你的身上彰显出来。若今天你看见你一些不可爱的人需要被爱的，与其假装看不见，倒不如真的把基督的爱传给他们，让他们知道在这世上有一份爱是长存的，是不能被磨灭的。若今天在任何的岗位上需要你的才干时，不要吝啬或是斤斤计较，而是把你的才干奉献出去，完成一切的需要。你知道吗？当我们给的时候，我们不会越来越少，反而是越来越加增的，因为当我们给，就必有给我们的。

我们在这世上不单是领受上帝绵绵不绝，不被限制的福气，我们更是要把我们所领受的一切给出去，效法耶稣基督的榜样。我们所能给出去的其实根本算不得什么，看看我们的主，祂给到一个地步甚至愿意奉献祂的生命给了你和我。因此，从今开始，让我们的生命是不被限制，不单是从神所领受，而是更加的奉献出去，把一切的荣耀都归给神。阿门！

但以理书3：25王说：“看哪，我见有四个人，并没有捆绑，在火中游行，也没有受伤，那第四个的样貌好像神子。”

在人显著的失敗中，上帝却得着最完全的勝利。許多時候，仇敵看似得勝了，可是後來上帝終究剷除他们的作為，得着胜利，一如经上所说：「耶和华。。。使惡人的道路弯曲」（詩146：9）。
三個希伯來人被擲入火窯的故事，是一個很好的例子。這裡，仇敌显然勝利了。按当时的情形，上帝的僕人將陷於一敗塗地的光景中，他們跌在火燄中，他們在可怕的火燄中頃刻之間就要化成灰焰，但万万想不到三人竟然在火窯中遊行。 這真使仇敵惊吓了！尼布甲尼撒王叫他們從火中出來，他们的身体毫无损伤，一根头发也沒有烧焦，衣裳也沒有变色，也沒有火燎的气味。为何这样呢? [因為沒有別神能这样施行拯救。」（但以理书3：29）

亲爱的，今天在你的生活中，若是面临一个极大的试炼，不要气馁，自认失敗，仍要继续凭信心宣告勝利，因为基督已经得胜了，而你是得胜有余（罗马书8：32）！我們应当晓得，在一切的艰难中，上帝都在为我们指引道路，铲除障碍，作我们随时的帮助。让我們在祂裡面學習信心的功課，藉着主基督誇勝，大大榮耀祂的名。阿门！

2 Timothy 2:1- “You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭
You cannot be strong by your own will, but know that whenever you are weak, whenever you face challenges, whenever you are in tears, you can always run to Jesus knowing that He makes you strong, and His grace is always sufficient to lift you up whenever you fall. Grace is a person and that person is Jesus, grace is not a topic or a doctrine that you can teach but grace is a person that you can experience, even intimately! Therefore, no matter what is going on today, instead of depending on your own strength trying to be strong, depend on Jesus, depend on His love for you, look to His goodness and faithfulness, and be strong in His grace, be strong in Him.
As you lean on and rely on His grace, His grace is inexhaustible, unending and overflowing; Whatever that you need has been found in Christ! So the days of sorrow has ended my friend, be strong!

诗篇46：10你们要休息，要知道我是神！

我们都知道，当一个人溺水时，若是越挣扎，就会往下沉的越快；反之，当你放轻松，不乱扭乱动，才能浮起来。其实，人在面临困境中所要学习的功课，不也相似吗？
当事情不顺时，我们越挣扎，靠自己来解决，反而会让自己“沉”的更快，看见事情非但解决不了，却是更加的糟糕，我们更加的烦躁；相反的，当你在困境中学习放轻松，如同马利亚，在忙碌当中还是坐下来，在耶稣的脚前听道。这不是说马大当时忙碌的要服事耶稣是错，而是她忙乱到一个地步心里烦躁了。所以耶稣才说马里亚已经选择那上好的福份。（参阅路加福音10：38-42）
当活在世上，人生的际遇总是难以预测，觉得很疲惫，又很无奈，我们都需要一个可靠的避风港湾。当神对我们说要休息，知道祂是神，并不是说就让我们什么都不用做，而是在忙碌中更要纪念神的慈爱，思想祂的话语。彼得前书5：7也说要将一切的忧虑卸给祂，把缠绕我们的重担都丢给祂，才能活得轻省。当我们如此做，神所赐的平安必定在耶稣基督里保守我们的心怀意念（腓立比书4：7）。
在困境中，是浮起来，还是往下沉，取决在于我们自己。加油！

诗篇107：29-30祂使狂风止息，波浪就平静。风息浪静，他们便欢喜。他就引他们到所愿去的海口。

Proverbs 24:10- “If you falter in a time of trouble, how small is your strength!”
‭‭
Fear is not of God, and you will realize that everytime when you are fearful, it does not regain your strength but instead it demolishes your strength!
When you look at the instruction that God has given Joshua when Joshua wants to lead the Israelites to the promised land, He told Joshua several times that do not be afraid but be strong and courageous, but the key to that is not by your will power and effort, but rather by looking to the Word of God, meditate it day and night and put it in your imagination! As you are full with the image of the Word, fear has no room but to cease!
So, When the Almighty Father says He never leaves you, He is shielding you in His refuge, then there's nothing that you can be afraid of! Be assured with the love of God towards you, and guess what, it strengthens you!

Proverbs 24:16
for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again, but the wicked are brought down by calamity.

Hallelujah! Shalom, righteous man!
Do you know that you were bought at a price? (1Cor6:20) Jesus Christ died for you 2016 years ago to give you righteousness. (2Cor5:21)
Even though the world is full of worries and troubles, but you can take heart knowing that Jesus has overcame them all and in Him you are more than conquerors! (John16:33 & Rom8:37)
No matter what is happening all around the world, you are to be assured that nothing can harm for God is with you. (Rom8:31)
Though now might be economic downturn, but righteous man, you are to remember that you are crowned with blessings and God supplies all your needs according to His glorious riches! (Prov10:6 & Phil4:19)
When you are not feeling well physically, be reminded that Jesus has been pierced for you so that yo are now made whole in Him. (Isa53:4-5)
All the curses have been reversed for Jesus has borne them all for you.
Therefore, you can now enjoy the blessings He has in store for you and shine for His glory!

When you are weak, God's grace is there to empower you.
When you are faithless, God remains faithful and do far more than what you can imagined of.
When you fall, He rises you up to a better place.

So, take heart, God's beloved!
Arise and shine in your daily life. Walk with confidence for Christ is with you, nothing can be against you!
Nothing is too hard for God. Praise the Lord!

以弗所书1：3愿颂赞归于我们主耶稣基督的父神！祂在基督里曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气。

我們都可能會有面對危机的時候，可能是失業，婚姻或健康出状况，感情起了风波，或失去至親好友。在這哀伤的時刻，我們更必須從屬靈銀行的存款儲備中，提取一筆鉅款。
在我們的属灵銀行裡，我們會發現什么呢？在属灵户头里，有各样的安慰，重新出发的勇气，不被定罪的生命。。。若我們一直与耶稣保持密切的關係，我們就必晓得在祂那里，有我们所需要的一切。当祂跟我们说：不要害怕，我就在这里，我们就的心就必安稳，晓得我们一生的事都在祂手中。当我们从这属天的户头提取资源，我們必尝到主恩的滋味，就经历了经上所說的应许：上帝是公义和信实的（申命記32：4，帖撒罗尼迦后书3：3） 。
当你觉得周围的人都无法了解你现在的心情，天父祂明了，祂体恤你，安慰你，给你重新出发的勇气。阿门！

主啊，我感谢祢，祢的信实何其偉大！
每一天我都看見祢豐富的供應，
並賜下慈愛憐憫。感恩！

Ephesians 1:4- For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

My dear friends, right before you choose God, He has chosen you. He has chosen you right before you have any chance to make a mistake, and even when you were still a sinner, Christ died for you! Therefore, He loves you and chose you not because of your perfect performance but out of His unfailing love! Therefore, if you feel condemn today, be reminded that even before the creation of this world, God already has you in His heart, He called you as a darling, He sees you as precious, and you are His beloved! Nothing that you can do to make Him love you less! Therefore, know that because of Jesus perfect finished work, God sees you as holy and blameless in His sight! You can't be more perfect and holy than you are now, because it's all done by Jesus perfect performance and not yours! You are a wonder, unique and special, you are righteous, holy and blameless! Never depreciate yourself because God appreciates you!

诗篇30：11-12祢已将我的哀哭变为跳舞，将我的麻衣脱去，给我披上喜乐，好叫我的灵歌颂祢，并不住声。

你最后一次单纯的感到喜乐与兴奋是在何时呢？或许你已经被周遭的环境拉入谷底，面临四面楚歌的境界，又或是忙碌到感觉麻木了。。。喜乐，好陌生的名词。。。但今天要知道，在神没有难成的事，祂拥有所有天上的资源，要来给你。你有一个强大的靠山，祂不会动摇。所以，当神与你同在，你无法不喜乐！

诗篇13：5 但我倚靠祢的慈爱；我的心因祢的救恩快乐。

无论你的年纪多大，或是处在何种情况，当你晓得你的神是如此爱你，守护你供应你，就没有什么可以使你怯步失望。即使跌倒，沮丧了，当你转目仰望耶稣，就必重新得力。祂已经将你的哀哭变为跳舞，将你的麻衣脱去，给你披上喜乐衣。当你有耶稣，生命必经历转变！不好的变成好，缺乏的得供应，忧伤转为喜乐！祂担当了你一切的疾病，忧伤，哀哭及审判在十字架上了！所以平安、喜乐、丰盛、健康等全是你的！
当耶稣说：“我愿意”，祂必兑现祂的承诺，决不后悔，为你所预备的福份，乃是超乎你所想像的。所以不要限止，不要在你的思想里头局限神的能力；就在今天，你要看到在你生命中的各个领域都是福辈满溢，綽绰有余！阿门！
