Daily Devotion 每日灵修

传道书9：11【我又转念，见日光之下：快跑的未必能赢，力战的未必得胜；智慧的未必得粮食，明哲的未必得资财，灵巧的未必得喜悦；所临到众人的，是在乎当时的机会】。

圣经记载，有一个患了十二年血漏的女人，她已经花尽了她的所有，病情一点也不见得好，反倒更严重了。这里说她是花尽了所有的，可能不单单是金钱，还有她最美好的青春岁月，可想她的心情是如何的沮丧，十二年，人生其中的一个十年，她是被病痛折腾着。。。
当时的情景是，有许多人跟随拥挤着耶稣，血漏的女人也在当中，她听见耶稣的事，就从后头来，杂在众人中间，要摸耶稣的衣裳，心里说：只要摸到耶稣的衣裳，就必痊愈。看见她的心了信吗？那时她没有怀疑耶稣不会医治她，也没有因为在后头就觉得被遗弃，她心里只想着“就必痊愈”。当下她就只有一个目标，就是“要得痊愈”。
当她有这样的意志时，她血漏的源头立刻干了。耶稣对她说：[女儿，你的信救了你，平平安安地回去吧，你的灾病痊愈了]。耶稣赞许她的相信，她所捉住的，乃是那当时的机会。（参阅马可福音5：25-34）
所以不要再靠着自己的血气能力，来讨神喜悦，或是按着自己行为的标准来衡量在耶稣心理的位置。你在耶稣的心里面，永远都是祂最顾念疼惜的人。信靠祂，你一生必蒙福。也许你已经信主了好久，似乎生命没有任何突破。但千万不要气馁，看看血漏的女人的生命力，十二年了，她都没放弃，最终她得医治了。

传道书9：11节后半段说：所临到众人的，是在乎当时的机会。而这个当时的机会，就是耶稣，祂临到血漏的女人生命里，同样的也临到你我的生命。你，捉住了当时的机会了吗？就机会就在你心里。（路加福音17：21）

Matthew 6:27- And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

Many of times we choose to live in fear instead of trusting that God is able to deliver us from all
that issues of life. We tend to look upon our issues highly than how great our God is. Do you know
that anxious and worry cannot go together with faith? Both are contradicting. If you have faith in Christ,
Fear and worry has no place to stay. However, many of times we responded to the anxiousness more
than the confident and assurance that we can find in Christ.
Since anxious and worry can never add a single hour to your life, not only it does not help, it destroys you
physically, mentally, emotionally! Therefore, look to Jesus, the prince of peace and move in His perfect
peace today, in Him you're secured, healed and saved my friend!

约翰福音11：40 耶稣说：我不是对你们说过，你若信，就必看见神的荣耀吗？ 约翰一书5：19 我们知道，我们是属神的，全世界都卧在那恶者手下。

圣经，我们是属神的，我们的身份是天国的子民，只是暂时寄局在这世界，所以我们的行事为人，应当是按着圣经的系统与法则，不是按着属世的方式。而上帝的方式往往是与世界背道而驰的，但很多人因为在短期内无法看到果效而放弃了，因着无法坚守所承认的指望就弃绝来神。。。你知道吗？你若能信，就必看见神的荣耀吗？是的，那位应许你的是信实的，祂必成就这事（帖前5:24），神不会说谎，祂的话不会出尔反尔。

彼得前书2：11 亲爱的弟兄啊，你们是客旅，是寄居的。

誰告訴你说的日子永远都在黑暗呢？誰告訴你冬天的雪永不會融化呢？誰跟你说你是赤身露体的呢（创世记3：11）？这些都是谎言，你的生命不应当是如此的。。。约翰一书4：17告诉你：因为耶稣如何，你在这世上的生命也必如何！因着耶稣的一次献祭，你的生命是自由且得胜的！阿门！
豈不知嚴冬一過就是春夏麼？你永远不会呆在缺乏贫穷、病痛忧患里的，这些终究会过去，它们不能在你生命中停留，你是上帝的孩子，福份已经在你生命里。哈利路亚！

Proverbs 3:5-6- Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for GOD ’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go, he's the one who will keep you on track.

Trusting God instead of yourself today, for by your own strength, all things are limited; but by the
strength of God, all things are unlimited and possible! You may not understand how, but you just need
to trust God from your heart, trust that He is able to save you, trust that He is greater and stronger than
the issues you face! Remember, God always has His perfect way for you. He has the best solution for you.
Instead of trusting other, look to Him! Listen to Him for only He can keep you on track!

Psalms 48:9 Within Your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.

Dear friend, do you know that meditation affects one's life? What you meditate will reflect in your life.
When you meditate on the sickness that attacks you, then pain and suffering reflect in your life.
When you meditate on the problems you encounter, worries and fear reflect in life.
When you meditate on the broken relationship that you ever had, unhappiness reflects.
So that is why Psalmist David said we are to meditate on God's unfailing love.
Instead of meditating on negative thoughts, we are to meditate on the goodness of God, what He has done for us!
So friend, let's put aside the negative thoughts and start to meditate the positive thoughts that we can think of in Christ Jesus.
Let's begin our day by meditating on God's unfailing love for us, who we are in Christ, what we have in Christ and what we can do in Christ.
Stop meditating on the pasts that hold us back, but start to meditate on the only way-JESUS, who can ensure our better and lighter future!

Hallelujah!

向罪死，向神活
罗马书6：1-2
这样，怎么说呢?我们可以仍在罪中，叫恩典显多吗？断乎不可！我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢？

也许有人会问，如果在恩典中，就可以自由犯罪了吗？反正犯罪了，上帝还是爱我们；犯罪了，也不会被审判，反正有恩典作后盾，就可以为所欲为嘛！真的是这样吗？保罗说，断乎不可！如果是这样，表示我们还不了解罪的严重性，它的工价，就是死（罗马书6：23）。

上帝的宽恕并没有减低罪的严重性，耶稣基督为我们而死，正好反映了罪的可怕，因为这世上没有一个人可以担负这罪孽，只有上帝的独生爱子，祂是圣洁公义的，承担我们的一切过犯罪孽，代替了我们被钉死在十字架上。哥林多后书5：21说：“神使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为神的义”。因着耶稣的一次献上，如今当我们口里承认，心里相信，就都是义人了。

一切罪的权势和刑罚都与基督一同钉死在十字架上；而罗马书6:5说“我们若在祂死的形状上与祂联合，也要在祂复活的形状上与祂联合”。我们的老我和罪性也都随之一起被钉死了，因此我们的肉身不再受罪的辖制。这罪不是指我们肉身所犯的错，而是指由亚当所遗传给他的后嗣（就是我们）。虽然我们外在的行为还是有软弱，会闹情绪，会有跌倒的时候，但在灵里面，我们是圣洁的，天父看我们是全然美丽，毫无瑕疵的（雅各书4：7）。恩典不是驱使我们自由去犯罪，而是让我们着自由由，可以终身在祂面前，坦然无惧地用圣洁、公义侍奉祂（路加福音1：74）。

彼得前书3：18说，“因基督也曾一次为罪受苦（受死），就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说，祂被治死；按着灵性说，祂复活了。”今天，我们不再活在罪的权势下，它已经不是我们的主，耶稣才是我们的主。我们仍然会有软弱，分别在于，在之前我们是罪的奴仆，现在是义的奴仆了（罗马书6：18）。我们的生命，向罪是死了，在基督里却是活的（罗马书6：10）！

2 Corinthians 6:2- For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.

Do you know that God is outside time and He is never limit by time? Do you know that for the time that you've lost, you can redeem them back in
Jesus' name? Therefore, instead of sitting there and weep about what you've lost, instead of worrying when will it come true, look to jesus!
He has promised you that in the time of favor and in the time of salvation He has heard you, and followed by NOW is the time of favor and NOW is the
time of salvation! Therefore, we are not here to say when God's time comes, I'll get what I need; oh, I need to wait for God's timing so I just wait.
But He said in His Word that He wants to help you now, and He has saved you now! Which means from all your situation, be it sickness, be it lack,
Now Jesus has provided you! Now Jesus has healed! Therefore, all you need to do is to believe that all things are done! When you believe, that's the
time you receive! So stop asking when can you receive it? It's only when you start to believe in Him, and when are you start to believe in Him? The answer is that direct, NOW! :)

约翰福音16：33我将这些事告诉你们，是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上，你们有困难；但你们可以放心，我已经胜了世界。

在二十一世纪科技如此的今天，人类甚至可以去到月球探索，却是无法掌控生命的生死。即使小心翼翼的度日，却也不知道在何时何处，会有什么样的事情会降临在我们身上；纵使已经做足一切安全措施，也无法担保平安无事。圣经里有一句话说的很贴切：其实明天如何，我们们还不知道。生命是什么呢？我们原是一片云雾，出现少时就不见了（雅各书4：14）”。所以应当珍惜当下，在还有生命气息的时候，让基督的爱从我们身上彰显出来。
基督徒在世上同样也遭遇患难与问题，但感恩的是，我们有依靠的对像 ，靠着耶稣，我们可以胜过困境，祂是我们的力量与避难所，在祂里面，我们得以刚强与重新得力。纵然有一天我们离开这世上了，也知道我们最终的归宿是在那里。
腓立比书4：6-7也安慰我们说：“应当一无挂虑，只要凡事藉着祷告、祈求和感谢，将你们所要的告诉神。神所赐出人意外的平安，必在基督耶稣里，保守你们的心怀意念”。以赛亚书26：3也说“坚心倚赖你的，你必保守他十分平安，因为他倚靠你。”阿门！
当你觉得孤单、害怕、疲惫、全然无助时，记得，有一位救主耶稣基督，祂爱你，愿意陪伴你，扶持你，安慰你，保护你，给你心中踏实与有平安。

歌罗西书3：15『又要叫基督的平安在你们心里面做主，你们也为此蒙召，归为一体；且要存感谢的心』。

Mark 5:36- Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”

My dear friend, if you will realize, fear and believe cannot work parallel, when there's fear, there's unbelief;
and when there's believe, there will be no fear! So what are you fearful of today? What is the area that you're
Always holding on fear? Let that particular area be in charged by God, compare how big He is and how small
will be your issues! Trust God that He is able, able to deal and defeat your issues in life, be it sickness, be it
anxieties, be it depression, be it broken relationship, be it lack; when you put all of them next to God, they fail in
comparison! Why? Because nothing can be as great as our God!
Therefore, if you'll see God as so real, you won't be afraid anymore! Ask yourself this question today, "Is God real
in my heart?" If you truly believe He is real, fear subsides and faith arises! Think and consider of His greatness today,
and you'll find all the rest of the issues cease automatically!
