诗 118：8-9 - 投靠耶和华，强似倚赖人；投靠耶和华，强似倚赖王子。

在我们的生命中，有许多的阶段我们必须依靠人。在我们还是婴孩小孩，没有自主能力的时候，我们必须依靠父母亲的照顾；当我们成年了，就必须靠某些人来帮助我们完成一些事项。在我们的生活中，总会遇见各种各样的问题需要靠别人的帮助。但是，无论如何，有人靠车，有人靠马，但我们要提到耶和华，我们神的名。（诗 20:7）因为离了祂，我们什么也不能做。（约 15:5）

朋友们，投靠神的人是大有恩惠慈爱追随着，无论往哪里去，人看见你都要喜欢你，人看见你都要给你机会。当我们投靠神，不依赖自己的聪明时，要看见凡我们手所作都要亨通顺利。你知道吗？当我们投靠在神的翅膀荫下，断没有什么东西能够加害我们。疾病不能，死亡不能，忧愁不能，悲伤不能，失败不能，失望不能，在这世上没有一样东西能使我们遭害，纵然千人万人扑倒在我们左右，但这所有的一切都不能临到我们。因为投靠神的人是有帮助，有避难所，有神成为我们的高台，是我们生命中随时的帮助。更甚的是，投靠耶和华的必不至定罪（诗 34:22），并且是有依靠，更是不至羞愧的。

因此，让我们投靠神，在祂的院宇住一日，胜似在别处住千日。（诗 84:10）真的，让我们回到神的院宇，就是神的话，把它刻在心版上，昼夜思想，这人便为有福。当我们愿意听从神的话，愿意走在祂的旨意里，你就必看见你的生命是更上一层楼，是得胜有余的。阿门！

John 11:40 - Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

Regardless how impossible the situation that you are in right now, please do not give up. Do you know what, the glory of God means that whenever man cannot, with God all things are possible! The next time when you look at your circumstances and realise that it is impossible, that is the time where God can manifest His glory! When the glory of God manifests, it is impossible for that problems, that sickness, that fear to stay any longer! However, the key to see the glory of God is not by your effort, or your work, but instead Jesus says "if you believed". Many of times, what hinders us from seeing the glory of God manifesting is our believe. Instead of believing that we are His children, we are loved by Him, many Christian still choose to believe that God is there to reject them and the love of God is not constant and it is conditional; instead of believing that we are already healed in Christ, many still choose to believe that sicknesses are greater than the healing promises that Christ has purchased for us with His blood. Hence, if we cannot believe, we cannot see the glory of God, that simple. But likewise, if we believe, we will see! Therefore, start to see yourself in the eyes of Christ, draw near to His word for faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word! You need the Word of God to help you to believe, for His Word never pass away, for God watches over His Word to make it happen in your life! If you will believe, you will see the glory of God!

I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬ NIV)

Many people are finding reasons to rejoice daily, however do you know that you are one good reason to be rejoiced of? For you are wonderfully made and you are a new creation in Christ! Know that you have Jesus in your everyday and He is the very reason to rejoice! Be thankful of His grace for wherever Jesus is, there is grace! And in His grace, there's supply! Therefore, you are not alone but well taken care of! thank God for His grace is always sufficient for you, regardless of what situation today, know that you have the grace of God! When you have grace, you have supply! :)

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

You may be finding it hard to give thanks in the midst of a bad day, especially when everything seems to be going wrong. However, do know that your Father in heaven knows you better than anyone else, regardless what happen to you right now, He sure knows and He is your solution. Even if your feeling says no, and yet when you choose to give thanks to Him not because of that bad situation, but because of He is good, it helps you in breaking through your fear and worries towards that situation. Stop and remember who Jesus is today, He is the I AM, the author of your life and your faith. Hence, you are to be dependant on Him on everything, and know that every good gift is from Him! Being as a child of God, let's let our mouth flow with thanksgiving instead of complaints and curses today! You will see that it makes a difference!

Deuteronomy 33:27 - The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

If you are in the midst of frustration, fear and worry now, all you need is to begin to linger in the peaceful presence of God. Knowing that He is always with you makes so much difference to your reaction in life. The moment when you choose to relax in His everlasting arms, and know that how safe and secure you are, fear ceases and worry fades. Jesus is the only solid foundation that you can rely on, and do you know what? The moment when you choose to enjoy in His very presence, it produces joy and unmeasured fullness in your life!! You will start to praise Him, your heart will delight in Him, and you will celebrate His ultimate presence! Linger in His presence today, and know that you are always safe and secure in His everlasting arms!

希 10： 23 - 也要坚守我们所承认的指望，不至摇动，因为那应许我们的是信实的。

在这世上，很多的人在许多的事情上都不能坚持到底，总会半途而废。同样的，很所时候，基督徒们对神的认知和了解也是如此，当他们看不见神的应许时，就觉得耶稣不爱他们，不会给他们丰盛的生命，半途而废就往别处去了。又或是在半途中，人很容易被这世上的的情欲，诱惑给牵引了去，就离开神了。但是，圣经里却很清楚地告诉我们，要坚守我们所承认的指望，不至摇动，意思是当我们口里承认，心里相信耶稣基督的那一刻开始，我们要坚定地相信祂必成就祂的应许在我们的生命里。其实，早在两千多年前耶稣基督就为了我们走上了十字架，作成了一切祂所要做的，并且赐下所有的丰盛和祝福，给一切相信祂的人。

是的，纵然在这世上是有苦难，你会面对问题的。但是我们不要被问题给击垮，而放弃了神的应许，乃要坚持的往前走，直到你领受了所有的应许。不要怀疑到底我们的神是不是祝福的神，祂把自己的独生爱子赐下给我们，还有什么是祂不愿意给你的呢？（罗 8：32）有什么东西比生命更重要？何况，在这世上有什么是大过耶稣的？

今天，在我们的生命中，无论发生什么问题，无论你身在何处，总不要忘了耶稣基督的应许，总要坚定的相信祂是信实的神，必要作成一切，并且赐下祂的丰盛给每一个信祂的人，就是你和我。因此，带着一颗坚信不疑的心继续走神所为我们预备的道路，你必看见超乎你所求所想的事，发生在你的生命中！阿门~

In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. (Psalm 33:21 NIV)

Your heart may be crying in tears now, remembering that past and that hurt which had crushed you so much, but do you know that God longs to give you a new life? It's a life of joy, no longer tears. Be assured today that as you have Jesus in your life, regardless how big is the storm, regardless how painful that past may be, He is able to turn death into life, curses into blessings, tears into joy! He is always there to restore you. But, you are to be in Him, and to be In Him you need to be In His Word! The moment when you are in His Word more than that hurtful past, His Word is able to give you life, and joy! Therefore, trust in His holy name, the name of Jesus is far above all powers and principalities. The moment when you call His name, you shall be saved! My dear friends, rejoicing is a choice that you can make when you know who is your supporter; when you truly trust that Jesus' name is higher than any other names, your heart will bounce with joy, your tongue will be full of praise, for you know that when all problems bow under the name of Jesus, they shall too bow down to you! :)

朋友们，当我们口里承认耶稣为主，心里信神叫祂从死里复活那一刻开始，我们终身的事就在神的手中了。（诗 31：15）很多时候，当在我们的生命中发生问题，或是面临问题的时候，我们总喜欢把一切问题推在恶者的身上。要知道，当我们成为神的儿女，与神彼此相交，就不再与恶者打交道了。恶者在我们的生命中是毫无能力的，它不能影响我们一丝一毫，更不能伤害我们一根汗毛。虽说这世界是恶者在掌权，因此很多的天灾人祸发生。但是身为神儿女的我们不要担心，因为早在两千多年前，恶者就已被打败了。因此耶稣说，在世上虽有苦难，但是你们可以放心，因为我已胜了这世界。（约 16:33）虽有千人仆倒在你旁边，万人仆倒在你右边，这灾却不得临近你。（诗 91:7）只因我们是神所爱的，是祂的至宝。

你知道吗？一个失败者是不能对我们造成任何的伤害的，因为它已经输了，它没有能力了。所以我们不要怕恶者，它只不过是一只纸老虎，只能吼叫吓人，却不能实际的伤害我们。并且，我们不是与恶者眼对眼看，因为它已被打败，在我们的脚底下了，不要把它抬举与我们平等，因为它是失败者，而我们是得胜有余的子民。今天，神的儿子显现，为要除去魔鬼的作为，（约一 3:8）因此当耶稣打了胜仗，恶者就被除去了，在我们的生命也没有恶者可以讲话主宰我们的地步。

所以，让我们紧抓着神的话，跟随祂的每一个脚步，更要清楚地知道今天在我们生命中掌权的是耶稣基督而不是其他的。这样，我们的道路就能勇往直前，是吃地上的美物（赛 1:19），是作首不做尾，居上但不居下的。阿门！

Exodus 15:11 - Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you - majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?

He did not do it out of unwilling, but out of love, He displayed His love through every single deeds of Him. How awesome to know that even when you were still a sinner, He chose to die for you. No love can compare to the love of Christ, this agape love is above feelings, regardless how much failures that you have gone through, or how many times that you were faithless, He still sees the best of you. He sees the potential in you, that treasure in you, that wonderful future and power in you. Therefore, come to have an assurance today that God wants to work wonders in your life, and the very access to this encounter is by faith. Believing the finished work of Jesus Christ today, that He loves you and longs to have intimate relationship with you, no one can be like Him, full of glory and awesome in working wonders. And, the good news is, He loves you! Walk in His love today, you will be surprised!
