Daily Devotion 每日灵修

Luke 5:5b - Simon answered, “......But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

Whose word and whose report that you believe in today? Many times we believe in words that are not the truth, the Word of God tells us that the devil is the liar, which means he came and bring all sorts of lies to your life. Only the word of God is the truth, and only when you know the truth, the truth shall set your life free! Therefore, choose who do you want to listen to today! Just like Peter, instead of listening to his feeling and what his experience told him, he chose to listen to what Jesus said. He said, because you say so! Likewise in our lives, regardless what your situation says today, remember that Jesus has the final word; regardless how is your medical report, Jesus has the final report; regardless how is your financial situation, Jesus has the final say. Because He said so in His Word, and it settles it! Just like Peter, you'll catch the abundance of fish, the boat sinking experience!

撒母耳記上17: 45-46
大卫对非利士人说，你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜戟。我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的神。今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟，地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有神。

在聖經中，當以色列人面對巨人歌利亞時，他們說：『巨人就是這麼大，我們沒有辦法可以擊敗他的』，他們極其驚惶害怕。但有一男子名叫大衛，非常年輕，卻有過人的勇氣。看到歌利亞，大家都覺得他是如此之大，根本就沒有機會可以打贏他的，大衛卻說：『這未受割禮 的非利士人是誰呢，竟敢藐視神的軍隊』？ 他不退縮妥協，反而藐視敵人。
周圍的人都在嗤笑他。他們說：『大衛，你瘋了嗎？你是不可能打倒歌利亞 的，你只不過是個小子，什麼都不會』。 但大衛不把歌利亞放在眼裡，而是將眼光定睛在耶和華身上，他勇敢出去面對巨人。當歌利亞看到年輕的大衛時，他說：『那根杖是做甚麼的？你以為我是隻小狗嗎』？ 意思是：『你難道沒有更好的武器可以攻擊我嗎』？但大衛卻不懼怕，因為他曉得他的神有多大！他知道當耶和華與他同在，他已經得勝了！大衛回答：『你来攻击我，是靠着武器。我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的上帝，歌利亞，今天，上帝要把你交在我手裡，我要打敗你，砍下你的頭，我要把非利士軍兵的屍體丟給飛鳥野獸吃。這樣，普天下就知道以色列有一位上帝；這裏的每一個人也都知道上帝使人得勝，不需要用刀用槍。他戰無不勝；他要把你們交在我們的手中』。

如果你想讓生命變好，就要把神放大，把問題放小。不管面對的問題有多棘手，它們都沒有你的神大！開始轉換你的眼光，看向勝利；把心思意念調整到對的頻道，就是神的應許上。不要述說問題有多大， 而是敘述上帝有多偉大！宣告勝利，帶着自由和勇氣，向前邁進吧！上帝的祝福正在等着你！

我實在告訴你們，無論何人對這座山說：『你挪開此地，投在海裏！』他若心裏不疑惑，只信他所說的必成，就必給他成了。(馬可福音 11:23)

Psalm 57:3 - He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me, God send his love and his faithfulness.

How wonderful to know that God is the keeper of your life! He is the everlasting help, He is faithful and most important thing is, He loves you!
Therefore, no matter what are the challenges that hotly pursuing you now, instead of trying to do it on your own effort, remember that God is with you!
When He is with you, nothing can be against you; when He is with you, He rebukes those who pursue you! So, even if the enemies are in front of you,
you know what God sends from heaven? He will send his love and his faithfulness to save you! He will send his grace to deliver you! When the God
Most High is with you, what are the things that you are afraid of? Why are you still downcast and not happy? Rejoice all the more, when you call for help;
your Abba Father in heaven will send His grace, His love, and His faithfulness to save you!!

以弗所書1：18并且照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道祂的恩召有何等指望；祂在圣徒中得的基业有何等丰盛的荣耀；

肉眼與心眼，所見到的是什麼呢？是否一致呢？真正的瞎眼，其實是不願意用心靈的眼睛去看去感受的人。他們寧可當作沒有看見，或是曲解所看見的；你看見聖經對你所說的話，卻不相信祂的話是可以真實的運用在你生命裡，寧可放任自己停留在黑暗裡，不願意向前邁進，不願意想前衝；還是消極的認為，最壞也不過就這樣了，別再冒險或多此一舉。就這樣，我們的生命停駐了，無法向前一步。

往往肉眼所看的都是消極，困難重重的，令到我們很快就泄氣。我們必須開始用一雙信心的眼睛去看待生命，這生命是在基督裡的，看見自己被提升到一個新的層次，新的崗位，看見突破，看見得勝有餘的人生。如果你要經歷這一切並嚐到主恩的滋味，就必須在心裡設想，並且深信這一切都有可能，我們的神是活人的神，不是死人的神，在祂那裡，我們都有活潑的生命（路加福音20：38）。真正從心裡相信耶穌是真神，用心靈誠實來敬拜祂（約翰福音4：23-24）。無論發生什麼事，都可以信靠祂。啊們！
馬太福音你13：16你们的眼睛是有福的，因为看见了；你们的耳朵也是有福的，因为听见了。

Romans 8:39 - neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Yes, you can sure of that God He loves you for who you are. Even when you are still a sinner, the worst state of you, Christ died for you. That is how much unconditional it is His love. Therefore, do not judge His love according to how you feel, what people says, and what your surrounding tells you. You are to see His love through the lens of the cross, that how willing is Jesus to redeem you and save you from the pit. Look at the Word of God, it is the photo album of Jesus, telling you how much that He loves you and what are the things that He has done for you. The moment when you look at Jesus and know that there is nothing that you can do to earn His love, you also have to be sure that there is nothing also will make you lose His love. Because it is never dependant on your effort, it is all because of His grace. That unchangeable grace. Therefore, today know that neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God. When you are in Christ, you are in Love. Enjoy His love today like a child!

Psalms 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

Dear friend, who do you rely on today? In all kind of situation, who do you trust?
When you are lacking, who do you believe? Is your own limited resources and ability? Or the God who gives you ability to produce wealth?
When you are sick, in whom you put your trust to? Is your doctor and medical report? Or Jesus who has been stripped for your perfect healing and good health?
When you are lost in the direction of your life path, who do you focus on? Is the advise from people around you? Or the Lord your God who is the way, the truth and the life that directs your steps?
What do you hold on in times of trouble? Is the trouble that stress you? Or the God who deliver you from all troubles?
Where do you put your faith in when problems are surrounding you? Is in the problems and continue to stay in the negativity ground? Or put your faith in the Lord who is mighty in power and stand on the victory ground He has conquered for you?

Now, is the time for you to choose and move on, friend.
Choose to trust and rely the Lord who is great and mighty in power, His understanding has no limit!
When you are lacking, believe in the God who gives you ability to produce wealth and supply all your needs according to His glorious riches, He is great and mighty in power, His understanding has no limit!
When you are sick, put your trust on Jesus who makes you whole and well, He is great and mighty in power, His understanding has no limit!
When you are lost in the direction of your life path, focus on the only way and that is Jesus who directs your steps, for He is great and mighty in power, His understanding has no limit!
In times of trouble, hold on to the Lord your God who delivers you from all circumstances, He is great and mighty in power, His understanding has no limit!
When problems are surrounding you, put your faith in the Lord who is great and mighty in power and stand on the victory ground He has conquered for you, for His understanding has no limit!

You can boldly trust in Him for nothing is too hard for Him!
In Him, we are more than conquerors! In Him, we have all in all!

歷代志下16:9 耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人。
耶利米書29：11耶和华说：“我知道我向你们所怀的意念是赐平安的意念，不是降灾祸的意念，要叫你们末后有指望。

拳擊和較力的競賽都有共同的一面，就是在競賽中，選手們必須使出渾身解數，展現過人的力量；與腕力比賽一樣，其主要的目的就是要證明自己是最強而有力的人。他們只有一個目標，就是把對手扳倒，因為勝利者只有一人。

上帝有全能的力量。然而，祂如何展現祂的力量呢？並不是在你的眼前重新排列各個銀河系，也非一時興起就變換太陽的顏色，祂乃是賜下愛與憐憫，給我們這般有需要的人，祂賜下獨生愛子，背負我們的罪愆，走上十字架的道路，祂使那無罪的（耶穌），替我們成為罪，好叫我們在祂裡面被稱為義，祂定意「要顯大能幫助向祂心存誠實的人（歷代志下16：9）。以賽亞書33：6也說，當你以敬畏耶和華为至寶時，你一生一世必得安穩，有豐盛的救恩，并智慧和知識的。啊們！

在聖經裡我們看到上帝開紅海，在曠野賜下嗎哪，使童女懷胎生子，甚至最後叫耶穌從死裡復活，這都顯明我們全能的上帝是賜福、保守和護衛祂子民的。祂從來都不是降災禍給我們的神。祂的智慧、慈愛、能力，是祂一切應許的後盾。

主啊，我感謝祢，
因祢樂意在我需要時，展現祢大能的力量。
主啊，我感謝祢，當我軟弱時，
我可以信靠祢大能的膀臂。

Psalm 40:2 - He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.

Do you know that you have a sure victory in Christ? Regardless what the devil is trying to manipulate you, but the truth is, you are a victor and not a victim. Be it now you may in the slimy pit, in the mud and mire of lack, but remember that instead of focusing on what you see and what you feel now, look up to Jesus! Because of Jesus, you are already being lifted out from the slimy pit, you are no longer in the pit but instead you have been transferred to the kingdom of Jesus! Therefore, you are in the kingdom of victory! Remember that Jesus has set your feet on a rock, and He is the sure foundation, He is the Rock, He is the one who never change, and thus He gave you a firm place to stand. By connecting to Jesus from time to time, He is that firm place that you are standing on now. The moment when you realise that you are standing on a firm place, you are standing on the Word of God, you are standing on the promises of God, you will not fear! Be bold and courageous today, knowing that when Jesus is with you, no one can be against you!

馬太福音6：27 你们哪一个能用思虑使寿数多加一刻呢？
馬太福音6:34 所以，不要为明天忧虑，因为明天自有明天的忧虑，一天的难处一天当就够了。

不知道為什麼，很多時候我們都把時間浪費在緬懷過去發生的事，或是猜測未來可能會發生的事，但就是不願意把握現在，享受當下。其實，過去的事情已經無法改變，是風光的，是落魄的都好，它們都已經成為過去式了；而未來的事呢，尚未發生，我們都無法預知，所以煩惱也是徒然，再怎麼憂慮擔心也於事無補，不是嗎？

箴言7：22說『喜樂的心乃是良藥，憂傷的靈使骨枯乾』，憂慮是惡者的詭計，它壓傷我們的生命，偷竊了我們本該有的喜樂；其實我們可以喜樂的活着，因為在尼希米記8：10說【你们不要忧愁，因靠耶和华而得的喜乐是你们的力量！】，所以我們可以靠主喜樂的。啊們！
好好體會耶穌此刻的同在，細細品嚐的美善，感受祂的愛。這才是活在當下。哈利路亞！
