Matthew 6:26- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

Have you ever seen a bird talking to another bird worrying on their next meal?
Have you ever seen that a bird was so emotional that it doesn't even want to fly or even sing?
God says look at the birds of the air, they do nothing, they have no place to store their food, and yet everyday they find their
supply, because the Heavenly Father feeds them! God wants us to be as worry free as the bird, and
constantly be in a joyful state, singing our song and knowing that I do not have to worry what shall I eat, what shall I wear, where
can this opportunity come from, where to find the right person, because all these things that we need, He knows!
Therefore, if we can know how much more valuable we are than the birds, that Jesus came to die not for the birds, but for you and I,
so shouldn't we be much more worry free than the bird? Shouldn't we all the more singing louder than the bird?
Because we know we have a good Father that will always supply all our needs more than we ask and imagine!
Say it with me today: I am more valuable than a bird, if my Heavenly Father can feed them, I shall find my supply in Him too!
I fear nothing, for I have Him!

申命记31:8【耶和华必在你前面行，祂必与你同在，必不撇下你，也不丢弃你。不要惧怕，也并不要惊慌】。

上帝十分清楚我們今天面對的挑戰，日常生活中会遇见的难题。以賽亞提醒我們，上帝認識我們每一個人，甚至將我們的名字銘刻在祂的手掌心（以賽亞書49：16節）；祂看我们为寳为尊（以赛亚书43:4）。我们的心事，我们最挂念的人与事，即便我們身邊最親密的人，有時候我們也會忽略了對方的需要；又或是，身边最亲密的人也无法明了我们内心深处的需要。但，上帝卻知曉我們生命中的每個細節，我们的每一个心思意念，祂都晓得。同時，祂將圣灵賜給我們，為要引導、安慰、堅固我們。
祂不愿意看见我们对人生是精疲力尽，苟且求存的，祂要我们是得胜有余；
祂不愿意看见我们为了拼个春天来，而苦待了自己，祂要我们全心全意来依靠祂；
祂不愿意看见一切的问题、压力、忧虑、 苦毒来埋葬我们。。。祂要我们的每一天都可以来向神歌唱，因为祂是用厚恩待我们的神（诗篇13：6）。

想想現在你所面對的難題，然後在每一項的旁边寫上【遭逢困境，我有耶穌】，提醒自己上帝的信實和眷顧，当你用心去体会，祂一直都在。帖撒罗尼迦前书5:24【那召你们的本是信实的，祂必成就这事】。
祷告：耶穌，感謝祢，因為此時此刻祢與我同在。因祢的信實，我獻上感恩。只要有基督，生命就有盼望。


Matthew 6:33- “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well.”
‭‭
Seek means to look for, crave and to find. Many of times when we seek of the things of the world, it brings us worries.
Therefore, before Matthew 6:33, Jesus said do not worry about what you need in life, for the Heavenly Father knows what
are your need! But the only remedy to remove worry is to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness! Instead of looking
at the natural, look at the supernatural. Crave first for his kingdom, crave first for what Jesus has given you in His kingdom,
Crave for the righteousness, the right standing that God has given you through Jesus!
So, The moment when you're worried about whether you're healed or full of provision, seek and focus on Jesus! In Him,
all these things that you need has been given and will be added to you!

John10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

Dear friend, what do you see in front you in life right now?
Mountain? Waves? Problems? Debts?
Regardless what might be in your sight, you are to know and be glad that the Shepherd you trust-JESUS, is ahead of you.
He is ahead of you leading you through the troubles that bothering you;
Jesus is ahead of you breaking all the curses and bring you countless blessings;
Jesus is ahead of you restoring all the brokenness in life;
Jesus is ahead of you healing all your sicknesses through the stripes he borne 2015 years ago;
Jesus is ahead of you clearing all the mountain that blocking your ways;
Jesus is ahead of you making sure that bad turn into good and impossible becomes possible!

So, all we need to do is following him by knowing his voice, which is through the word. (John1:1)
Because of Christ Jesus, we no longer see problems ahead of us but is Jesus-the shepherd is ahead of us leading us through everything!
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

申命记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”；

很多时候，我们对生活感到很无奈，往往要屈服于现实的世界，总感觉别无选择。但圣经告诉我们，我们其实有选择，要一个怎么样的人生，决定权在我们手上，我们可以选择所要的生活，没有人能够来操控。而我们的天父也早就已经给我们那天国的钥匙，祂告诉我们，凡我们在地上所捆绑的，在天上也要捆绑；凡我们在地上所释放的，在天上也要释放（马太福音16：18-19）。所以天父说，【我将生死祸福陈明在你的面前】；今天在你眼前，你看见了无数的问题，还有无数的挣扎，好与不好的都有。 那么你，选择了什么呢？

很多时候，我们忘了我们有这把钥匙，我们忘了所拥有的权柄，我们更忘了天父对我们的用心。祂为了我们牺牲了独生爱子耶稣基督，好叫我们的生命从今以后不再是没有指望，却是有活泼的盼望。但很多时候，我们却是选择靠近问题，选择靠近压力，选择靠近定罪，选择靠近消极，多过于选择去靠近耶稣与真理。所以，就算生死祸福陈明在我们的面前，我们依然的选择死亡和祸患，消极及定罪。
今天，苏醒吧！上帝说，你要拣选生命，好叫你和你的后裔都得存活；而耶稣在约翰福音14：6说：我就是道路，真理和生命。。。人有了神的儿子就有生命，没有神的儿子就没有生命（约翰一书5:19）。所以，天父呼唤你拣选耶稣，无论环境如何，来靠向耶稣！唯有这样，你才能看到你生命里的一切都得存活！这包括你的经济，你的健康，你的家庭，你的婚姻，你的事业等，都要存活了。啊们！

Hebrews 11:6- “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
‭‭
Faith is not of yourself or on yourself, but rather faith comes only when you hear the words of Christ. Each day, Jesus is speaking to you through His Word, giving you firm assurance on how much He loves you and how much He has blessed you with.
Therefore when all the more you look at the loveliness and greatness of Jesus, all the more you'll rise up in faith.
For He is the author and perfector of our faith, not us!
Faith in Jesus is a magnet that draws all good things. Faith in Jesus simply means believe that He is a rewarder who will bless good
things to those who seek Him! When you believe that He exists and He comes to reward and not to take, it pleases Him! So, never worry
whether you please God or not, but when you believe that He exists and He is a rewarder to those who seek Him, that pleases Him!
So Today, believe in His finished work and His love, for He is the God who rewards you with blessings!

罗马书5:8【惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了】。

有一个人，在我们还是罪人的时候，就已经为我们死了（罗马书 5：8）；有一个人，根本没有罪，却为了我们被鞭、被打、被羞辱、被逼迫。。。你真相信吗？实在有这么一个人，有如此的大爱，成了代罪羔羊，赎回了我们；当祂爱我们，是以永远不变的爱爱我们到底（耶利米书31:3，约翰福音13：1）！

这份爱，你领受了吗？
耶稣道成了肉身，为要体恤我们的软弱（希伯来书4：15）；
祂被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义活，好叫我们都被称为义（彼得前书2:24）；
祂受了鞭伤，为要叫我们得医治（彼得前书2:24，以赛亚书53：5）；
祂救了我们脱离黑暗的权势，带领我们到祂光明的国度里（歌罗西书1:13）
祂为我们死了，复活，好叫我们的生命是出死入生的（约翰福音5：24）；

此刻，你对祂的爱与付出仍然无动于衷吗？还是觉得这一切都与你无份。回应祂的爱并不关乎我们能为祂做些什么，而是关乎我们能领受祂为我们所成就的多少；回应祂的爱并不关乎我们能否为祂受苦，而是关乎我们是否相信祂受的苦所给我们带来那活泼的盼望；回应祂的爱，就是单单的相信祂，依靠祂，行在真理中!

诗篇91：14 神说：”因为祂专心爱我， 我就要搭救他；因为他知道我的名，我要把他安置在高处。“
当我们专心爱祂，就是信靠祂，让祂在我们心中居首位时，无论处在怎样的环境中，祂是我们的拯救，是我们随时的帮助；在问题、病痛、忧郁，困苦中，祂都要来搭救我们；祂总不撇下我们， 也未曾丢弃我们（希伯来书13：5）。当我们认定祂，祂必指引我们前面的道路（箴言3：5-6）；祂必引我们到高位人的面前（箴言18：16），使我们的生命兴起，发光（以赛亚60:1）！今天就领受这份爱吧！

John 8:35- “Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.”
‭‭
A slave has no share in what the master has, and thus has no permanent place in the house. When we
used to be separated from Christ, when we used to have no God, we were separated from all that the
Father has. Why? We were slaves of sin, we've no part and share with what God has. But Good News!
Jesus came and reconciled us to the Father, He has made a perfect sacrifice, He brought us back as sharer
in His kingdom!
Now, God calls you as son, He is your wonderful Father! Therefore, you're no longer a slave that has no share in
what He has; you're a son, you've share in what He has- abundance, health, wisdom and all that belongs to Him
belongs to you! So it's time to enjoy whatever that He has prepared for you in the house!

箴言18：10 - 耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳。

尽管现今世界的局势告诉我们全球无论是经济，环境，安全，都处在各样的危机，但我们身为神的儿女应当一无挂虑，只要凡是藉着祷告、祈求、和感谢，将所要的告诉神，祂神所赐出人意外的平安，必在耶稣基督里，保守我们们的心怀意念（腓立比书4：6-7）。

当我们的心怀意念被基督的平安保守时，就不会再被忧虑、惧怕、沮丧、绝望、伤心所包围，因着父神的怜悯，藉着耶稣基督从死里复活，重生了我们，叫我们有那活泼的盼望（彼得前书1：3）。当我们信靠神，就不至于羞愧（罗马书10：1）。所以，当世界的经济衰退时，我们在神国度里的经济却是丰盛且富足的，因耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳；而我们都是义人（箴言4:18）。我们虽然还处在这世界，却不属于这世界，我们是属神的。

我们知道，我们是属神的，全世界都卧在那恶者手下。（约翰一书5：19）

我们的家庭关系，婚姻，事业及学业，健康等，在各个放面，却是越来越好，越来越亲近，因耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳；周遭的状况再糟糕都好，我们身为神儿女的却是被守护在祂翅膀荫下，虽有千人万人仆倒，灾害却不能临到我们。
因此，投靠耶稣基督的人是有福的！快来尝尝主恩的滋味，便知道祂的美善（诗篇34：8）。无论环境如何，神是我们的避难所，是我们的力量，是我们患难中随时的帮助（诗篇46：1）！阿门！
