Daily Devotion 每日灵修

Today let's just meditate on the grace and what the Lord has done in our lives.

Psalm 103:1-5
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits -
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's

The Lord has been faithfully good in our lives, instead of giving complains, start to give thanks.
Instead of speaking defeat, start to speak victory.
Instead of being fearful, draw near to Him! He has been too good to all of us that He has forgiven all our sins,
and healed all our diseases, and redeemed our lives from the pit and crowned us with love and compassion!
Thus, he is always here to satisfy your desires, with good things!
Praise the Lord today, let your soul too praise His holy name!

因此，祂已將又寶貴又極大的應許賜給我們，叫我們既脫離世上從情慾來的敗壞，就得與上帝的性情有分。 (彼得彼書1:4)

對於生活中的每個遭遇，其實都有神話語的應許！祂給了我們偉大和珍貴的應許，好讓我們有活潑的盼望，使我們的指望不至於斷絕（箴言23：18）。你我人生的際遇都不同，但我們都有一位可以信靠的阿爸父！前提是，我們必須讓祂的話語成為我們生活中最重要的事。
当你遇见問題，你可以選擇聆聽主的話語，藉着祂的話得釋放，得安慰，重新得力並繼續前進；也可以不斷埋怨，任苦毒仇恨在心裡滋長。箴言4:22說：因為得着它的，就得了生命，又得了醫全體的良藥。這意味着，神的話語帶來改變，帶來盼望望與力量！它使你的整個生命都煥然一新，舊事已過，都變成新的了（林后5：17）！
我們很容易讓問題把我們壓倒，以致抬不起頭；當我們專注於問題時，我們只會感受到生活有多令人失望，令人無奈。但永遠記得，神的話語是安定我們的力量，而 我們必須去默想它，願意把更多的精力投入在神的話上，它才能在我们的生命中有能力。如果你總是看着眼前的問題與難處，就很容易會陷入低落的光景中。但是，當你專注於上帝要給我們的應 許上，你必得着勝利！啊們！

詩篇119：89耶和华啊，你的话安定在天，直到永远。

Jeremiah 1:9- Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.

Do you know that your tongue carries power? Whatever that you speak of today equals to what you believe inside. One who believes in sickness will always talk about his sickness, one who is believe in failure will always counting his failures. Do know that death and life is under the power of the tongue and whoever loves it shall eat it's fruit. It means that whatever word that you said, they are seed. You are planting yourself a harvest, so what are the things that you want to plant? Thus, know that today your mouth has been anointed by God, so whatever you speak forth brings result. Instead of speaking about defeat, your fear, you anxiousness and depression, Start to speak the Word of God today and bear its fruits, so declare & believe now that "I have the same righteousness, same power, same health, same nature as Jesus!".

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!
