《今日靈修默想》:「因為神的一切應許,在基督裡都是「是的」,為此我們藉著祂說「阿們」,使榮耀歸於神。」(林後1:20 新譯本)

默想一:神的應許你知多少?聖經是神的話,裡面充滿神的應許,如信得永生、罪得赦免、來得安息、以馬內利(神必同在)、禱告蒙應允等等。越明白聖經,越多知道神的應許。神的應許不是「是」而又「非」的,祂的「是」就是「是」,永不收回,也永不改變。

默想二:神豐富的應許如何支取並經歷?只有靠神的愛子耶穌基督。神的應許在基督裡一切都是「Yes」的。也都是「Amen 」(阿們,實實在在)。離開了基督,我們在怎麼努力,都不能做什麼?

禱告:親愛的天父上帝,感謝祢,因祢的應許在耶穌基督裡賜給我們了。求祢藉著我成為施恩的管道,讓人從我的一舉一動、言語行為看見祢的榮耀,我願意將榮耀都歸於三位一體的真神。禱告是奉祢的聖名,阿們!

Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” (2 Co 1:20)

Meditation one: How much do you know about God’s promise? The Bible is the word of God, and it is full of God’s promises, such as having eternal life through faith, sins be forgiven, having rest, Immanuel (God be with you), prayer be granted, and so on. The more you understand the Bible, the more you know about God’s promise. God’s promise is not “Paradoxical”. His “yes” is “yes”, never withdraw, and never change.

Meditation two: How will God’s rich promise be taken and be experienced? We can only rely on God’s beloved Son Jesus Christ. God’s promise is “Yes” in Christ. It is also “Amen” (Amen, truly). Without Christ, we cannot do anything regardless how hard we may try.

Prayer: Dear God heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your promise in Jesus Christ. I ask You to make me a channel of Your grace. May people be able to see Your glory through all things I do, I say, and I conduct. I am willing to give all the glory to the true God of the Trinity. I pray in Your holy name, Amen!
